MLB.com's Mark Bowman reported the Atlanta Braves are willing to increase their payroll a specific amount before the start of the 2025 season.

The veteran has been wildly inconsistent in his career but is coming off his best season.

Former Padres outfielder Jurickson Profar and the Braves agreed on a three-year, $42 million contract Thursday.

The latest MLB rumors include Jack Flaherty's potential landing spots, the Mets' continued interest in Pete Alonso, and another international star up for grabs.
