Braves Sign Former Top-100 Prospect Tyler Freeman

The Atlanta Braves signed utility player Tyler Freeman to a minor-league contract with an invitation to spring training. Freeman, who spent his first three major-league seasons with Cleveland before joining Colorado, has played multiple infield and outfield positions. He hit .247 in 79 games with the Rockies in 2026 while dealing with injuries, and underwent back surgery in October; he said he feels well and could be ready to play by the end of March. The deal gives Atlanta a versatile depth option as Freeman looks to rebound.
