With the deadline at 1 pm Eastern time, the two parties settled before the deadline. White and Lee will head toward their hearings listed in February. Kelenic&#8217;s deal is for $2.3 million, his highest season average. The lefty made $760,000 last season, and looks to improve for a higher salary in 2026. Meanwhile, the Braves still control arbitration for Kelenic for the next three seasons.
