This Day in Braves History: Braves sign Kriby Yates

Braves Franchise History

1966: The Yankees trade 3B Clete Boyer to the Atlanta Braves for OF Bill Robinson and 39-year-old P Chi-Chi Olivo.

2021: The Braves add P Kirby Yates for two years and $8.25 million even though he did not pitch a single inning for the Blue Jays, who had given him a large contract before last season.

MLB History

1976: The Yankees sign free agent Reggie Jackson to five-year, $3.5 million dollar contract. During “Mr. October”’s tenure, the Bronx Bombers will win four division titles, three pennants and two World Series.

2002: The Reds and Padres reach an agreement to trade Ken Griffey, Jr. for Phil Nevin, but Nevin, with a no-trade clause in his contract, nixes the deal. He says he will only agree to a trade to a West Coast team that trains in Arizona. Griffey tore a tendon in his knee during the first week of last season, setting up another season limited by leg injuries. He also pulled a hamstring and strained hip muscles, limiting him to 70 games, a .264 average, 8 homers and 23 RBIs. In a week, the White Sox will turn down an offer of Griffey for Magglio Ordonez.

2016: OF Yoennis Cespedes re-signs with the Mets for four years and $110 million. This averages out to $27.5 million per year, the most ever for a position player. He had opted out of the remaining two years of his contract to have another stab at free agency, but he will contribute very little to the team over the course of the deal, due to a spate of injuries.

2021: The free agent signing frenzy continues as the Rangers make their third large signing of the off-season, inking SS Corey Seager for ten years and $325 million.
