The Atlanta Braves and starting pitcher Dallas Keuchel came to terms on a contract Thursday, according to The Athletic's David O'Brien, marking the end of a longer-than-expected stay on the free-agent market.
ESPN's Jeff Passan confirmed that a deal has been struck.
Per O'Brien, it is "likely" a one-year deal, though official terms of the deal have not been disclosed.
After winning the American League Cy Young Award in 2015 by virtue of a 20-8 record, 2.48 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 216 strikeouts in 232 innings, Keuchel struggled in 2016.
