Adding depth to their catching stable, the Atlanta Braves agreed to a deal with veteran Tyler Flowers on Tuesday.
According to Mark Bowman of MLB.com, Flowers' deal with the Braves is for $5 million through 2017 with a $4 million option for 2018.
With A.J. Pierzynski also signed to a deal this offseason, Jeff Schultz of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution noted this doesn't bode well for Christian Bethancourt:
So Braves sign another catcher Tyler Flowers which pretty much reaffirms that they don't even want Christian Bethancourt mowing their lawn

The 29-year-old Flowers has played his entire Major League Baseball career with the Chicago White Sox.
