Joey Wentz News: Settles with Atlanta

Atlanta and Wentz avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year contract Friday.

Wentz showed some flashes after being claimed off waivers by Atlanta in 2025, finishing with a 4.92 ERA and 64:23 K:BB over 64 innings. The left-hander will compete for a spot in the rotation in spring training but could ultimately settle into a long relief role.
