Laureano hit .259 with 11 homers and 33 RBIs last year for Cleveland and Atlanta, which signed him on May 29, four days after he was released by the Guardians. He had a $5.15 million salary last season.

Laureano has a .247 average with 82 homers and 252 RBIs in seven seasons with Oakland (2018-23), Cleveland (2023-24) and Atlanta.
