Aaron Bummer - Club option will be exercised Atlanta president of baseball operations Alex Anthopoulos said Friday that the team plans to pick up Bummer's $7.25 million club option for 2025, Grant McAuley of 92.9 The Game Atl...
Impact Bummer, 31, held a 3.58 ERA and 69:18 K:BB over 55.1 innings in 2024 in his first season in Atlanta. The left-hander could have an even more important role in 2025 with A.J. Minter heading into free agency and recovering from hip surgery.

Travis d'Arnaud - Option will be picked up Atlanta president of baseball operations Alex Anthopoulos said Friday that the team plans to exercise d'Arnaud's $8 million club option for 2025, Grant McAuley of 92.9 The Game Atl...
Impact Between that and Sean Murphy's $15 million salary, Atlanta will be paying a healthy $23 million to its catching duo in 2025. D'Arnaud usurped Murphy as the club's preferred starter down the stretch this season and finished with a .238/.302/.436 batting line and 15 home runs in 2024. He and Murphy are likely to share the catching duties pretty evenly in 2025.

Marcell Ozuna - Option will be exercised Atlanta president of baseball operations Alex Anthopoulos said Friday that the team plans to exercise Ozuna's $16 million club option for 2025, Grant McAuley of 92.9 The Game Atlan...
Impact The decision was a gimme after Ozuna slashed .302/.378/.546 with 39 home runs and 104 RBI in 2024. Ozuna didn't play a single inning in the outfield this season, so Jorge Soler will have to play the outfield in 2025 if Atlanta intends on him being a regular next season. It's not ideal from a defensive standpoint, but Atlanta wasn't going to let Ozuna walk after he was its best offensive player in 2024.

Chris Sale - Throws bullpen session Atlanta president of baseball operations Alex Anthopoulos said that Sale (back) threw a bullpen session Friday and would have been on the NLDS roster had the club advanced, Mark Bo...
Impact Sale had to be scratched from the last game of the regular season and was left off the wild-card series roster because of back spasms. However, it would appear the injury is mostly in the rearview mirror and the left-hander should have a normal offseason. Sale is the National League Cy Young favorite after going 18-3 with a 2.38 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 225:39 K:BB over 177.2 innings.

Spencer Strider - Team not setting timetable yet Atlanta president of baseball operations Alex Anthopoulos said Friday that the club will proceed deliberately with Strider's (elbow) rehab and are not setting a timetable for the p...
Impact Strider underwent an internal brace procedure in mid-April to address UCL damage in his pitching elbow. While the internal brace operation is less invasive than Tommy John surgery (which Strider had previously), the team will still be extra cautious about rushing the right-hander back too quickly. Anthopoulos indicated Friday that it's possible Strider is back sometime in April, but it could take longer than that.

Ronald Acuña - Opening Day not a given Atlanta president of baseball operations Alex Anthopoulos indicated Friday that Acuna (knee) isn't a given to be ready for Opening Day, Grant McAuley of 92.9 The Game Atlanta repor...
Impact Anthopoulos noted that the club will be deliberate with Acuna's rehab from left ACL surgery and while it's possible the outfielder is ready to play by April, it could be later than that. Acuna's surgery took place in early June, so he will be a little under 10 months removed once Opening Day rolls around. While a timetable for the 26-year-old is fuzzy now, there should be more clarity by spring training.
