The Atlanta Braves have locked in catcher Travis d'Arnaud for the 2024 season, agreeing to an $8 million contract. The deal also includes an $8 million team option for 2025, providing flexibility for the future. This agreement maintains d'Arnaud's current salary, which he has been earning with the Braves since 2020.
D'Arnaud, 34, has formed a strong catching duo alongside Sean Murphy. In 38 games this season, d'Arnaud boasts a .265 batting average, eight home runs, and 23 RBIs. His performance builds on a career-best year in 2022, where he earned his first All-Star selection, hitting .268 with 18 home runs and 60 RBIs.
Since joining Atlanta in 2020, d'Arnaud has been a valuable asset to the team. His impressive .321 batting average, accompanied by nine home runs in his inaugural season with the Braves, earned him a Silver Slugger Award.
