Rotoworld Player News

Carlos Rodriguez

ATL Center Fielder #84

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Atlanta signed OF Carlos Rodriguez to a one-year, non-guaranteed contract.

Rodriguez joins Atlanta from the Brewers’ organization. The 23-year-old hit .284/.368/.374 in his time at the Double-A and Triple-A levels in 2024. He’ll compete for a fourth outfield spot in spring training with Atlanta, but won’t play enough for fantasy relevance even if he makes the club.
Chris Sale

ATL Starting Pitcher #51

Chris Sale won the National League Cy Young Award.

The eight-time All-Star finally nets his first career Cy Young Award, receiving 26 of 30 first-place votes, after finishing among the top six in balloting a whopping seven times since 2012. The 35-year-old southpaw finished last season with a league-best 2.38 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 225/39 K/BB ratio across 177 2/3 innings (29 starts) in his remarkable Braves debut. Despite his omnipresent durability concerns, Sale will enter next season as a consensus top 10 starting pitcher in fantasy drafts. Phillies ace Zack Wheeler received the other four first-place votes in balloting to come in second, while Pirates rookie sensation Paul Skenes followed with a distant third-place finish.
Rolddy Munoz

ATL Relief Pitcher

Braves selected the contract of RHP Rolddy Munoz from Double-A Mississippi.

The elevation protects Munoz from next month’s Rule 5 Draft ahead of this week’s reserve list deadline and keeps him in the Braves organization heading into 2025. The 24-year-old pitched the majority of the season in Double-A and had a mediocre season, registering a 4.24 ERA in 51 innings in 38 appearances and one start. However, he did have 75 strikeouts and 22 walks with three home runs allowed in those innings, which speaks to his potential upside as a reliever with swing-and-miss potential.
Yohel Pozo

FA Catcher #30

Braves released C Yohel Pozo.

At least, that’s according to MILB’s official transactions page. It’s reporting he was signed to a Triple-A contract on Thursday and then released on Friday. Either the initial signing was simply an error or perhaps the Braves noticed the sexual assault allegations against Pozo from several years back and decided against taking him on. Either way, he’s currently a free agent.
Kobe Kato

ATL Second Baseman

Braves signed INF Kobe Kato to a minor league contract.

Kato, 25, was well-traveled during the 2024 season. He appeared in one game in the Astros’ organization at Double-A Corpus Christi, 32 games for the Mariners across three minor league affiliates and 64 games with the York Revolution in the independent Atlantic League. All told, he slashed .283/.393/.389 with one homer, 17 RBI, eight swipes and a 34/18 K/BB ratio across 135 plate appearances in affiliated ball. He’ll add minor league infield depth for the Braves.
Walker Buehler

FA Starting Pitcher #21

According to Jon Morosi of MLB Network, the Braves are among the teams interested in free agent right-hander Walker Buehler.

The 30-year-old hurler had a brutal regular season in his return from Tommy John surgery but turned things around in the postseason and wound up closing out the final game of the World Series for the Dodgers. While there should be plenty of teams interested in his services this winter, it’s unclear if he’ll find the lucrative multi-year contract that he’s looking for or will have to settle for a one-year prove-it type of deal before hitting the market again next season.
Chris Sale

ATL Starting Pitcher #51

Chris Sale was named as the Comeback Player of the Year in the National League for the 2024 season.

The 35-year-old southpaw managed to stay healthy in his first season with the Braves and delivered perhaps the finest season of his career — registering a 2.38 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and a 225/39 K/BB ratio over 177 2/3 innings in his 29 starts. He’s expected to add to his mantle during this award season, as Sale is listed as the favorite to bring home the Cy Young Award in the National League for the first time in his career.
Yohel Pozo

ATL Catcher #30

Braves signed C Yohel Pozo to a minor league deal.

Pozo had been with the Rangers since signing as an international free agent in 2016 before spending this past season in the Athletics organization. He made his MLB debut in 2021, slashing .284/.312/.378 with one home run and nine RBI in 21 games. He has not appeared in an MLB game since then but will serve as organizational catching depth.
Charles Leblanc

ATL Shortstop #33

Braves signed INF Charles LeBlanc to a minor league contract.

LeBlanc spent most of 2023 in Triple-A for the Angels, hitting .254/.379/.437 with 12 home runs and a 16.4 percent walk rate in 98 games. A former fourth-round pick by the Rangers, LeBlanc has slashed .254/.330/.412 in 197 big league games and will serve as veteran organizational depth in Atlanta.
Charlie Morton

FA Starting Pitcher #50

ESPN’s Jeff Passan reports that Charlie Morton plans to pitch in 2025.

Morton is now 41 — Tuesday was his birthday — and he’s coming off a season with Atlanta where he forged a 4.19 ERA while showing some decent durability with 165 2/3 innings. He’ll assuredly be looking at another one-year deal, but Morton has been effective enough to earn that right to be in the back of someone’s rotation in 2025. Atlanta should be considered the favorites just based on their history.
