The Braves confirmed the deal on their social media on Friday.

While the Braves did not disclose the financial terms of the agreement, ESPN reports that d’Arnaud will earn $16 million in 2022 and 2023 combined. The team will also have an option to extend his deal for one additional year at the price of $8 million.

Speaking with reporters about his new deal, d’Arnaud said that he wasn’t interested in testing free agency and had his eyes on the long-term stay in Atlanta for some time now.

“It’s such a great environment, great atmosphere,” said d’Arnaud. “The city’s welcomed me and my family with open arms.”

Travis d’Arnaud joined the Braves in 2020 as a free agent, inking an almost identical two-year, $16 million deal. He had an impressive outing in his first year with the team, batting career-high .321 with nine home runs and 34 RBIs during a shortened MLB campaign. This brought him his first Silver Slugger Award at the end of the season.

d’Arnaud hasn’t been able to replicate this form in 2021 as thumb injury limited him to just 28 games. He has shown signs of returning to form, however, hitting two homers in the last five games.

According to the team’s official statement, d’Arnaud inked a two-year deal which will pay him $8 million annually and $16 million in total. The 30-year-old also agreed to give a portion of his earnings to charity.

d’Arnaud split the start of 2019 between New York Mets and Los Angeles Dodgers, before being transferred to Tampa Bay Rays. He ended up playing 92 games with the Rays, batting .263 with 16 home runs and 67 RBIs.

“We’ve been pretty clear about needing someone to add to the roster, and we had Travis right up at the top,” said Braves general manager Alex Anthopoulos in a statement. “He’s been a highly touted prospect for a long time. Injuries have derailed his career and his upside, but he finally got to settle in with the Rays and show what he’s capable of doing, and we think he’s going to continue to move forward in that direction.”

Besides Travis d’Arnaud, Atlanta Braves made a number of other significant roster additions in the past several days, including All-Star closer Will Smith, which might set them up for a successful 2020. They also re-signed several of their own free agents like outfielder Nick Markakis and catcher Tyler Flowers.
