Yasmani Grandal, a prominent free agent catcher, previously declined an offer from the Braves. Although Atlanta appeared set with Sean Murphy and prospect Drake Baldwin, Murphy's recent rib injury has increased pressure on Baldwin. With Murphy out for 4-6 weeks, the Braves may re-evaluate their interest in Grandal, who, after a subpar 2022 and '23, rebounded in 2024 with strong defensive metrics and average offensive numbers. Grandal's experience could be beneficial as Baldwin steps up.
The Braves have shown interest in Yasmani Grandal, who remains unsigned as the top free agent catcher, suitable for filling non-backup roles.
Grandal's performance slightly rebounded in 2024, showcasing average offensive stats for a catcher and strong pitch framing abilities.
