Jan. 26: Braves acquire J.P. Martínez from Rangers
The Braves gained more outfield depth by acquiring Martínez in exchange for Minor League right-handed pitcher Tyler Owens. Martínez debuted for Texas last year and hit one homer while posting a .575 OPS over 44 plate appearances. The 27-year-old left-handed-hitting Cuban outfielder produced a .961 OPS over 353 plate appearances at the Triple-A level last year. There is still a need for the Braves to add a right-handed-hitting outfielder to serve as their primary backup outfielder.
Jan. 5: Braves sign INF Luis Guillorme and RHP Huascar Ynoa
Guillorme signed a one-year, $1.1 million deal, and Ynoa avoided arbitration with a one-year, $825,000 deal. Guillorme, who produced a .675 OPS over the past three seasons with the Mets, will likely serve as Atlanta's primary backup infielder. Ynoa missed last season while recovering from Tommy John surgery. He will provide starting pitching depth.
Dec. 30: LHP Chris Sale acquired from Red Sox for INF Vaughn Grissom
Atlanta pulled off a significant trade with Boston, adding veteran left-hander Sale, a seven-time All Star, in exchange for a promising young infielder in Grissom. The club hopes Sale can contribute on a regular basis in the starting rotation -- which would be notable, since injuries limited him to just 11 starts from 2020-22.
“There’s health history, and I understand that’s going to be a topic,” Braves president of baseball operations Alex Anthopoulos said. “But we think he’s a playoff-caliber starter and that’s what we were in the market for this offseason. We’ll make sure to do what we can to keep him on the mound."

Braves sign SS Jose Perdomo to $5 million bonus, per report
The deal that has long been expected will be made official today, with Venezuelan shortstop prospect Jose Perdomo signing with the Atlanta Braves. Perdomo received a $5 million signing bonus, as reported by Baseball America’s Ben Badler, the largest bonus among the 2024 class and the largest in the club’s history. The Braves have not confirmed any signings yet. The Braves have frequently dipped into the Venezuelan market for their top talent, with Ronald Acuna Jr. being their most notable major leaguer. They have also given large bonuses to Kevin Maitan, Abrahan Gutierrez, Diego Benitez, Douglas Glod, and Luis Guanipa in recent classes.
This was from Jan 15th. Won't be a difference maker this year, but the kid apparently has a lot of talent.
