The Atlanta Braves have signed infielder Joey Wendle to a major-league deal, who was recently dropped by the New York Mets. This move adds Wendle to the Braves' roster, joining other recent acquisitions Luis Guillorme and Zack Short. As part of the deal, the Braves will pick up a portion of Wendle's $2 million salary, providing some financial relief to the Mets.
