The Braves are in agreement with infielder/outfielder Sean Rodriguez on a two-year deal that will guarantee the MVP Sports client more than $11MM, reports Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports (Twitter link). Rodriguez, 32 next April, enjoyed a career year with the Pirates in 2016, hitting .270/.349/.510 with a career-best 18 home runs in 342 trips to the plate. A versatile right-handed hitter, Rodriguez spent more than 100 innings at shortstop, second base, first base and in the corner outfield, and he’s also no stranger to playing third base, with 652 Major League innings at the hot corner under his belt. Defensive metrics typically rate Rodriguez as an above-average contributor at second base and passable at the infield and outfield corners. - See more at: http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2016/11/braves-sign-sean-rodriguez.html
