Braves Resign Markakis

January 22, 2019 By Richard C. Gilbert

Nick Markakis

The Atlanta Braves have addressed an outfield need – with the same person who manned the position the last four years.

Nick Markakis is staying with the Braves on a one-year deal which includes a club option, The Atlanta Journal Constitution confirmed Tuesday. His base salary for 2019 is $4 million, with the option worth $6 million (with a $2 million buyout), as first reported by The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal.

Markakis, 35, made his first All-Star game last season and won gold glove and silver slugger honors. He’s hit .284/.359/.400 in 636 games with the team from 2015-18.
