Braves make offer to Ohman
The Braves have said they are interested in re-signing Will Ohman and
they further proved this on Monday, when they provided the left-handed
reliever a contract offer. While terms of the offer
weren't revealed, Ohman viewed it as a sign that he's wanted in
Atlanta.
"It was a strong offer intended to show me that they'd like to have me back," said Ohman, who made a career-high 83 appearances for the Braves this past season. "I've talked to my agent and we've agreed that once you file for free agency, you just have to let everything run its course. I think I'd be remiss not to listen to what else is out there."
With at least 10 teams having already expressed interest, Ohman is hoping to receive a contract similar to the ones fellow left-handed relievers, Jeremy Affeldt and Damaso Marte, have signed over the past week. Marte gained a three-year, $12 million contract from the Yankees and Affeldt signed a two-year, $8 million deal with the Giants.
