ATLANTA — The Atlanta Braves announced a one-year contract extension with Travis d’Arnaud just as their Tuesday night game against the Arizona Diamondbacks was getting underway. d’Arnaud already had a club option for the 2024 season, but his new deal guarantees 2024 and pushes the club option back to 2025.
That may come as a surprise to some given that the Braves traded for Sean Murphy this past offseason and signed him to a long-term extension. However, the Murphy, d’Arnaud tandem has given Atlanta one of, if not the best catcher situation in the majors.
