Tomahawk Take Editor’s Notes: The Atlanta Braves added some (maybe) depth to the pitching staff on Monday evening as they added a 31-year-old veteran left-handed pitcher. John Danks and the Braves agree to terms on a minor league contract and will most likely get an invite to Spring Training in 2017.
According to Jon Heyman of Fan Rag Sports, Danks will receive $1.5 million rate for any portion of the time he spends in Atlanta this year. This is definitely a low risk, high reward signing for the Braves.
Danks really hasn’t been solid since 2010, but did continue to stay in the White Sox rotation until the beginning of last year.
