Braves SIGN Mike Yastrzemski
The Atlanta Ray Tapper Hats found their bat for the off seasonason, signing outfielder Mike Yastimsky to a two-year deal worth $23 million. Jake Mastriani here from Locked on Braves, and this was actually a move we talked about, not typical that AA goes with something that a lot of people are discussing, but I think it made a lot of sense. I have been really talking up Cody Bellinger earlier in the off season, but this is kind of the more affordable version of that. a left-handed outfielder can cover center field if needed, but certainly you want him more in a corner outfield spot where he is pretty good, but he also crushes right-handed pitching, and that’s what you’re going to get him for to play in the outfield, DH some, maybe platoon with Shawn Murphy a little bit in that DH spot. I think it’s a great signing. Again, it’s one that I talked about several weeks ago is is a move that I really would like to see the Braves make, and I think it’s a pretty affordable price here. You do have the third-year option as well for 7 million with a $4 million buyout. But this is a very good deal for the Atlanta Braves in a bath that I think they really need it. We’ll talk more about it on the lockdown braves.
The Atlanta Braves add to their lineup depth with the addition of outfielder Mike Yastrzemski on a 2 year, $23 million deal.

Love this for depth and able to sub everyday guys out for rest. I mentioned Yaz in your pod right when FA started. Cheap good pickup
Great, the Braves sign another 230 hitter
Good move
I really like the move, play him against right handers and watch him have pretty darn good numbers
I love this
Jake this is so bs man i cant take ot anymore man its ridiculous
This doesnt move us anywhere close to a wprld series contender were wasting our young tallent love the show jake bit lets be real this os garbage once again
Please tell me this is not the “Bat” – still need a SS – SP – Bullpen arm
Love it as long as this is just a move for depth and not our big splash
Yaz is Temu Bellinger 😂😂😂
I love the signing. This pretty much closes the door on Ozuna. Hope he returns to the organization as a coach some day
AA is lazy!
👎🏻
Genuinely a horrendous signing.
Dude I just looked it up. His career average is .238. His best year he hit .297 but it was in only 197 plate appearances, 54 games during covid season. But I am optimistic if jake is. I always liked him in SF. But I want a SS
Yaz is not a "bat"
Really? A great signing? Idk bro.. I hope youre right.
That’s the best we can do? We’re delusional if we think we can win the WS with this lineup.
This shit is a joke. There are better options, not including the big ticket free agents, and this is where AA goes? I'm sick of this shit. #cheapassbraves
11.5 million a year for two years for a platoon player? I hope it works out for us. I cannot stand losing, but I’m not a fan of AA.
3 years for 23
I just don't see the plan. Adding another guy that hits .230 to this lineup helps Atlanta how? It absolutely sucks being a Braves fan watching LA buy every big name out there while we're left with the crumbs.
How much did Liberty Media pay you for this take, Jake? Jesus. I must be living in an alternate universe.
With this signing, it shows that they aren’t going to make any major moves. I sure hope Portland gets a team so I can stop rooting for this BS.
Love this move!
