DECEMBER 11, 2025 • SI.COM

Headed to Atlanta Yastrzemski signed a two-year, $23 million contract with Atlanta on Wednesday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

Impact Yastrzemski's new deal also includes a club option for the 2028 season. The 35-year-old outfielder got off to a slow start in 2025 but found new life after being sent to Kansas City at the trade deadline, slashing .237/.339/.500 across 186 plate appearances with the Royals. His late-season surge will grant him a multi-year commitment from Atlanta, where Yastrzemski will likely be forced to play across the outfield and as a DH, given Ronald Acuna's presence in right.
