The Story in 60 Seconds

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.

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.
