Read on to get all the details on the Braves signing 31-year-old pitcher Dallas Keuchel…
CelebNSports247.com reports that getting Dallas Keuchel to the Atlanta Braves took a minute.
Before signing with the MLB team, Dallas Keuchel had to pass a physical and he had to start in the minors two times before they activated Keuchel, according to Mark Bowman.
On Thursday, the news that Keuchel passed his physical came via Gabe Burns of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
The details of Dallas Keuchel contract is indeed for one year.
He’ll be paid $13MM between now and season’s end, which is a bit more than the $11.16MM he’d have made on a prorated deal worth the same amount as the $17.9MM qualifying offer.
He’ll jump right into the fray with Triple-A Gwinnett when he makes a start there on Saturday, reported by Jeff Passan of ESPN.
How were the Braves able to sign a new player?
To do this the Braves had to make room for Dallas Keuchel on their 40-man roster, so they transferred reliever Darren O’Day to the 60-day injured list. Read on. The reason why this was a simple move was that O’Day has been on the shelf since March 28 due to right forearm soreness.
Keuchel is represented by the Boras Corporation.
