Atlanta Braves sign possible bench, backup bat in Yonder Alonso

North Port, Florida... that's going to take some getting used to after the Atlanta Braves have wintered for some twenty-two years at Disney World, but it starts next week.

When the position players arrive the following week, there will be yet another new face among them, thanks to a signing today:

To be sure, Alonso is on the back side of his career, turning 33 in early April. Also note that he's a not a shoo-in to make the active roster.

He's a first baseman by trade, though has been more of a DH since moving to the American League in 2016.
