Stop me if you’ve heard this one before. The Atlanta Braves have added a veteran depth arm, re-signing a former player to a minor-league deal.
Today’s addition? Kris Medlen.
That’s right, to cap off a winter signing spree that has already seen the club ink Eric O’Flaherty, Blaine Boyer, Jordan Walden, and Joel De La Cruz, Coppy & Co. have signed Medlen to a minor-league deal.
The pact does not include an invitation to Spring Training.
A 10th round draft pick by the Braves back in 2006, Medlen tore through the low minors pitching primarily out of the bullpen.
