Veteran Outfielder Mike Yastrzemski Signs a 2-Year Deal with the Braves

Yastrzemski, a versatile outfielder and grandson of Hall of Famer Carl Yastrzemski, will earn $19 million over two years with an option for 2028.

  • On Wednesday, the Atlanta Braves signed outfielder Mike Yastrzemski to a two-year contract that includes a club option for 2028.
  • Braves sought veteran outfield depth as 35-year-old Mike Yastrzemski, who split last year between San Francisco Giants and Kansas City Royals, offers versatility across three outfield positions.
  • Last season, Mike Yastrzemski produced a.233/.333/.403 line with 111 hits, 68 runs, 46 RBIs, and 17 home runs across 146 games and has 123 career home runs with a 113 OPS+.
  • With the move, Atlanta adds another veteran bat; the Royals must seek another outfielder after failing to re-sign Mike Yastrzemski, who joins the Braves alongside Acuá Jr., Harris II, and Profar.
  • The contract's option structure means Atlanta can pick up a $7 million option or pay a $4 million buyout, and if Marcell Ozuna is not retained, Yastrzemski could fill a DH role boosted by hitting in Truist Park.
