Pierce Johnson re-signs with Braves for 2 years, $14.25M
Right-hander's deal includes $7 million club option for 2026


The deal covers Johnson's final two years of salary arbitration, as well as his first year of free agency, if the Braves exercise the team option for 2026.

Looking to strengthen their bullpen ahead of the Trade Deadline, the Braves targeted Johnson, despite the fact he posted a 6.00 ERA over 43 appearances for the Rockies. With Colorado, Johnson had a 7.23 ERA and a 25.7% strikeout rate in 25 appearances at Coors Field compared with a 4.11 ERA and a 38.7% strikeout rate in 18 road appearances.

Johnson proved even better than expected away from offense-friendly Coors Field. He posted 0.76 ERA and had a 36% strikeout rate over 24 regular-season appearances (23 2/3 innings) for the Braves and then completed three scoreless appearances in the National League Division Series.
