Mauricio Dubon News: Avoids arbitration

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

Dubon will avoid going to an arbitration hearing with his new club. The 31-year-old was acquired via trade from the Astros earlier this week and is tentatively slated to open 2026 as Atlanta's starting shortstop. However, further roster additions could push Dubon to a utility role.
