The Atlanta Braves signed veteran catcher Jonah Heim to a one-year contract, according to multiple media reports.
Heim was with the team on the first day of spring training when pitchers and catchers reported on Tuesday, according to MLB.com.
Heim, 30, was non-tendered by the Texas Rangers last November. The 2023 All-Star and Gold Glove winner played 595 of his 608 career major league games with Texas, posting a .226 batting average and .282 on-base percentage with 68 home runs, 87 doubles and 277 RBIs with the Rangers.
In 2023, he hit a career-best .258 with 18 homers and 95 RBIs in 131 games, leading Texas to its first World Series title over the Arizona Diamondbacks. He hit .212 with three homers and eight RBIs that postseason.
Heim enters Atlanta's spring training as a likely backup to reigning NL Rookie of the Year Drake Baldwin. Catcher Sean Murphy will miss the start of the season as he recovers from a labral tear in his right hip that prematurely ended his 2025 season.
