The Atlanta Braves made the postseason for the seventh straight season in 2024 after finishing with a record of 89-73.

Even after battling multiple injuries to key players throughout the season, the Braves still managed to clinch a spot in October.

Although the season ended with the team being swept in the wild-card round, the Braves could think of the season as a success due to all the key injuries.

The offseason has seen the Braves part ways with starting pitcher Max Fried, who signed with the New York Yankees, but the Braves added a new player to the roster on Sunday.

According to Atlanta Braves on ‘X,’ the Braves signed outfielder Bryan De La Cruz to a one-year non-guaranteed contract for the 2025 season.

De La Cruz joined the league in 2021 with the Miami Marlins, where he played for more than three seasons before joining the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2024.

In 2024, De La Cruz played 149 games between the Marlins and the Pirates, batting .233 with 21 home runs, 68 RBIs, and a .654 OPS.

The Braves broke their streak of six straight National League East titles in 2024 when they finished second behind the Philadelphia Phillies.

After winning the World Series in 2021, the Braves have failed to make the National League Championship Series in their next three playoff appearances.

The Braves hope that De La Cruz can impact their outfield next season as he has shown the ability to hit the long ball thus far in his career.
