Pierzynski agreed to a one-year contract with the Braves on Wednesday, pending a physical, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Signed by the Braves last offseason as a low-cost placeholder for Christian Bethancourt, Pierzynski ended up batting an even .300 in 407 at-bats, his best mark since 2009. His .339 OBP was his best since 2003. With Bethancourt still not looking ready for a primary role, Pierzynski will presumably serve as the starter again this season while perhaps returning to the middle of the Atlanta batting order.
