The Atlanta Braves signed RHP Penn Murfee and RHP Jackson Stephens to one-year, non-guaranteed split contracts for the 2024 season on Wednesday.
A split contract means the player would be paid at differing rates for time spent in the majors versus Triple-A. Both pitchers rejoin the Braves' 40-man roster.
Murfee and Stephens were each dropped from the roster within the past few weeks. The Braves had cut Murfee at the non-tender deadline. Stephens hit the open market after going unclaimed on waivers.
Stephens, 29, has spent the past two seasons in the Braves organization.
