The Atlanta Braves and Mike Soroka have stressed patience during his recovery from a second Achilles tendon repair, and that patience paid off this season as Soroka returned to pitching in games at the minor league level.
How Acquired
The Braves drafted Mike Soroka with the 28th overall pick of the 2015 MLB amateur draft. After the lockout ended, he signed a one-year, $2.8 million deal for the season, avoiding arbitration. It was the same amount he made in 2021, after he beat the Braves in an arbitration hearing.
