"Joel Payamps will remain an Atlanta Brave. On Sunday evening, the 2021 World Series winners announced that they've signed the former Toronto Blue Jay to a one-year deal worth $2.25 million. Payamps pitched in two games for the Braves in 2025, posting a 3.38 ERA and 6.51 FIP in two and two-thirds innings. Most of his season was spent with the Milwaukee Brewers, where he had a 7.23 ERA and 4.32 FIP in 23.2 innings pitched, giving the 31-year-old a 6.84 ERA and 4.54 FIP."
"Payamps began his career in the Colorado Rockies system, but made his big league debut with the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2019. He spent two seasons there before being claimed off waivers by the Blue Jays in 2021. In 30 innings with the Canadian team, Payamps had a 2.70 ERA and 4.20 FIP, with an 18.5 K% and 9.2 BB%. For some reason, he was designated for assignment in mid-July and traded to the Kansas City Royals for cash considerations."
