Braves finalize deal with utility player Sean Rodriguez

Tomahawk Take Editor’s Note: It’s official ladies and gentlemen…the Braves have signed Sean Rodriguez to a two-year deal worth $11.5 million. The deal was finalized yesterday after Rodriguez passed his physical. As you’re probably aware, it seemed like this took a while to come complete…well, that’s pretty accurate. This deal was announced on Thanksgiving day (November 24), but it took six days to say he’s a part of the Atlanta Braves. This occurred because of the Braves 40-man roster situation. After the Braves sent Rob Whalen and Max Povse to the Seattle Mariners, this cleared one space (Whalen’s) off the 40-man roster.
