Braves welcome Messersmith without a trace of resentment
The Braves add free agent Andy Messersmith to a pitching staff led by Niekro Morton and Ruthven. Teammates praise the signing and expect 15 to 20 additional wins. Messersmith, 30, signed a three year deal worth 600000 including a 400000 signing bonus. He joined the club after a long free agent chase and played batting practice as he ramps up.
