Braves Sign Veteran Catcher Jonah Heim to One-Year Deal

The Atlanta Braves have signed veteran catcher Jonah Heim to a one-year deal, adding depth while Sean Murphy recovers. Heim, a former Texas Rangers All-Star, was non-tendered after two underwhelming seasons where his offensive production and defense declined. However, he had a breakout 2023 season with a .258/.317/.438 slash line and excellent defense. He is expected to compete for the backup catcher role behind Drake Baldwin.
