Pillar signed a non-guaranteed minor league deal with Atlanta that would convert into a $3 million, one-year contract if he made the team out of Spring Training.
Pillar signed with the Braves as a free agent in January 2023 after spending the 2022 season shuttling back and forth between Triple-A and the big leagues with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Though most of these additions contributed to the pitching staff, Alex Anthopoulos went out and added veteran outfielder Kevin Pillar, who ended up settling into a platoon role. Over the offseason, the Atlanta Braves picked up a few solid free agents to contribute to their 2023 team.
