Braves catcher A.J. Pierzysnki and relievers Peter Moylan, Ross Detwiler and Edwin Jackson all became free agents Monday, the first day after the conclusion of the World Series.
The Braves hope to re-sign veteran Pierzynski, but it remains to be seen if his price rises above where they’re willing to go for the catcher, who’ll be 39 on Dec. 30. After batting .300 with 24 doubles, nine homers and 49 RBIs in 113 games, Pierzynski might be attractive for an American League team that offer a multi-year deal with the designated-hitter role a possibility down the line.
Re-signing Pierzynski has been previously characterized as a priority by the Braves, if the price is within reason.
