"FanSided's Robert Murray reported last night that outfielder Mike Yastrzemski has signed a two-year deal with the Atlanta Braves worth $23 million, with ESPN's Jeff Passan confirming the terms and financials shortly after. The Braves later confirmed the signing, with the organization also having a club option on Yastrzemski for the 2028 season worth $7 million. His buyout is $4 million."
"Last season, he slotted right around his career numbers, posting a .233/.333/.403 slash line between both clubs. He saw a considerable power increase once he joined the Royals, posting a .500 SLG down the stretch with a .839 OPS, and chipped in nine home runs across 50 games, which eclipsed his eight homers with the Giants but in 46 fewer games."
Mike Yastrzemski signed a two-year, $23 million contract with the Atlanta Braves, with a $7 million 2028 club option and a $4 million buyout. He was originally drafted in 2013 and spent seven years with the Giants before a mid-2025 trade to the Kansas City Royals. Across 790 games with San Francisco he hit .238/.323/.444 with 114 home runs and a .768 OPS. He produced a .500 SLG and .839 OPS in 50 games with the Royals, hitting nine homers. Defensively he has a .991 fielding percentage and +37 DRS across 803 games and can play all outfield positions. He is expected to split time in left or center and provide occasional DH depth behind Ronald Acuna Jr. in right.
