ATLANTA (AP) A person familiar with the situation says the Atlanta Braves have agreed to an $11.5 million, two-year contract with utility player Sean Rodriguez.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity to The Associated Press on Saturday because the agreement will not become official until Rodriguez passes a physical.
Rodriguez, 31, provides depth with major league starts at every position except catcher. He hit .270 with 18 homers and 56 RBI for Pittsburgh in 2016. He has a .234 career batting average in nine seasons with the Los Angeles Angels, Tampa Bay and Pittsburgh.
