Braves signed RHP Pierce Johnson to a two-year, $14.25 million contract with a $7 million club option for 2026.
The deal, which is official, buys out Johnson’s final two arbitration-eligible seasons, and also includes a $250,000 buyout. The 32-year-old right-hander compiled a microscopic 0.76 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 32/5 K/BB ratio across 23 2/3 innings (24 appearances) for the Braves after being acquired just prior to the trade deadline from the Rockies.
