The Atlanta Braves made two more moves on saturday morning to continue their hectic offseason. Signing infielder Luis Guillorme to a one-year contract allowed the team to avoid arbitration with Huascar Ynoa, a right-hander.
Guillorme, 29, is expected to earn $1.1 million. He has played with the New York Mets for the previous six seasons, primarily at second and third base.
However, Ynoa qualified for arbitration and signed a $825,000, one-year contract with the Braves. After recuperating from Tommy John surgery, he missed all of 2023, but if he can get back to midseason form, he’ll probably be a tremendous help to the pitching staff.
