He is set to receive a $7 million salary for the upcoming season, with a team option for 2025.
Evan White, aged 27, spent the last two seasons in the minor leagues and was acquired by the Braves from Seattle in a recent trade. White, a Gold Glove winner at first base in the shortened 2020 season, agreed to a $24 million, six-year contract in 2019. He is owed $7 million next year, $8 million in 2025, and has a $2 million buyout for a 2026 club option.
Tyler Thomas, aged 27, was selected by Atlanta from the New York Mets in the Triple-A phase of the winter meeting draft. In the previous season, he split his time between Triple-A Syracuse and Double-A Binghamton, amassing a 2-0 record with a 2.86 ERA and four saves in 24 relief appearances.
