Big news out of Braves Country: The Atlanta Braves have officially completed a blockbuster move, confirming the signing of 7-time All-Star pitcher Adrian Morejon to finalize their roster for the 2025 season.
The Braves announced the deal on Monday, bringing in the highly experienced left-hander after weeks of speculation. Morejon, long considered one of the most dynamic arms in baseball, is expected to immediately strengthen Atlanta’s rotation and provide a major boost as the team gears up for another deep postseason run.
“This is a huge addition for us,” Braves General Manager Alex Anthopoulos said in a statement. “Adrian’s track record speaks for itself. He’s a fierce competitor with big-game experience, and we believe he’s the perfect fit to complete our roster as we chase another championship.”
Morejon, just 26 years old, has already compiled a résumé few can match, including multiple All-Star appearances, postseason heroics, and a reputation for thriving under pressure. Known for his electric fastball and devastating curve, Morejon gives Atlanta an additional frontline weapon alongside Spencer Strider, Max Fried, and Reynaldo López.
Terms of the deal were not immediately disclosed, but sources indicate the agreement is a multi-year contract with performance incentives tied to innings pitched and postseason success.
After battling through injuries early in his career, Morejon has stayed healthy and dominant over the past two seasons, posting a combined ERA under 3.00 while racking up strikeouts at an elite rate. His addition caps off what many are calling a perfect offseason for the Braves, who have aggressively positioned themselves as World Series favorites once again.
Morejon is expected to join the team for their first full-squad workout next week and could make his spring debut shortly after.
“This team has everything it takes,” Morejon said in his introductory press conference. “I’m here to help bring another championship to Atlanta. Let’s get to work.”
Braves fans, buckle up — 2025 just got a lot more exciting.
