Dylan Lee and Eli White are both either going to come to an agreement or exchange numbers later.
Today is the deadline for teams across Major League Baseball and their respective players to exchange numbers back and forth when it comes to arbitration. There are two big deadlines: The deadline for agreements was 1:00 p.m. ET and the players and teams that didn’t reach an agreement by that point will exchange salary figures at 8:00 p.m. ET tonight.
The Atlanta Braves went into today’s proceedings with three candidates for arbitration: Jarred Kelenic, Dylan Lee and Eli White. As of right now, the Braves have only come to an agreement with Jarred Kelenic, as the two parties agreed on a $2.3 million contract for the 2025 season. Robert Murray of FanSided reported it first and the Braves confirmed the news shortly afterwards.
The #Braves today signed OF Jarred Kelenic ($2.3 million) to a one-year contract for the 2025 season.

We still haven’t heard any news on Lee or White, so keep it locked in and we’ll update this post once any further news comes out. While the deadline has passed, names and numbers are still filtering through, so we may have news on those two pretty soon. We could only hear about it tonight! Either way, we’ll have it covered for you and will be updating this post once news breaks.
