"The 36-year-old Leon joined Atlanta as a free agent ahead of the 2024 season. He played in 79 games with the Stripers that year, but didn't make an appearance in the big leagues for the first time since 2011. Leon had two separate stints with the Braves this past season. He made his MLB return on July 22, coming on as a defensive replacement. Leon was sent back to Triple-A on August 15, only to come back up a few weeks later. Leon finished the year with just one hit in 12 at-bats, though he made it count, launching a three-run home run off Craig Kimbrel on September 14."
"Leon made his debut with the Nationals in 2012. He's spent parts of 13 MLB seasons with seven different teams. The backstop had his longest big-league stretch with one organization from 2015 to 2019 with Boston. He appeared in 358 regular-season games with the Red Sox. Leon was part of the World Series-winning squad in 2018. The 2016 season was Leon's only campaign as a viable hitter at the highest level. He posted a 124 wRC+ across 283 plate appearances. Leon popped seven home runs and drove in 35 while splitting time with Christian Vázquez."
Sandy León returned to the Atlanta Braves on a minor-league contract and was assigned to Triple-A Gwinnett, where he spent most of the past two seasons. León appeared in five major-league games during the final two months of the 2025 campaign, finishing with one hit in 12 at-bats that included a three-run homer. León debuted in 2012 and has parts of 13 MLB seasons with seven clubs, including a 2015–2019 stretch in Boston and a World Series ring in 2018. León offers defensive value, with strong caught-stealing rates early in his Red Sox tenure, and will provide depth behind Drake Baldwin and Sean Murphy.
