Braves Select Brewer Hicklen
The Braves have selected the contract of outfielder Brewer Hicklen, according to his transactions tracker at MLB.com.

It might seem odd to add a […]
Seth Brown Opts Out Of Yankees Deal

Dodgers To Activate Tommy Edman On Tuesday

At the end of each season, certain players will have to decide whether to stick with their current contracts or become free agents.
