ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) – Braves pitcher Dylan Lee has won his arbitration hearing against the team, according to reports.
Earlier this month, Lee and the team could not come to terms on a salary arbitration, leading to a hearing. Lee filed at $2.2 million while the team filed at $2 million.
The Braves had reached agreements with all other arbitration-eligible players.
Lee, 31, avoided arbitration last January when he agreed to a $1.025 million salary following a 2024 campaign in which he posted a 2.11 ERA over 52 appearances (59.2 innings). He was once again one of Atlanta’s most reliable bullpen arms in 2025, pitching to a 3.29 ERA and 0.98 WHIP in 74 appearances (68.1 innings).
Lee will continue to bolster a revitalized bullpen that includes right-handers Raisel Iglesias and Tyler Kinley, as well as 35-year-old Robert Suarez, a prized free-agent signing whom the Braves brought in on a three-year, $45 million contract.
Lee is arbitration-eligible for two more years before he hits free agency in 2029, when he will be 34 years old.
