The 2026 season has just ended, but the Atlanta Braves have already gotten a start on moves – though this move isn’t likely to help the big league club for a few years. The signing by the Braves is Cuban…
The Atlanta Braves have reportedly signed 17-year-old Cuban catching prospect Anthony Calderon as an international free agent. Calderon joins the organization as part of the current international signing class on a reported $350,000 signing bonus. The deal represents the joint fifth-highest bonus awarded in Atlanta's current international class, matching the bonus given to Jorwin Pulido.
Standing 6-foot-4, Calderon reportedly attracted major league interest due to his physical frame, raw power, and strong defensive profile. Atlanta beat competition from the Miami Marlins, Texas Rangers, and Kansas City Royals to complete the signing, which leaves the Braves with $533,700 remaining in their 2026 international bonus pool.
