The Atlanta Braves have signed catcher Brian McCann and third baseman Josh Donaldson to 1-year contracts.

McCan will earn $2 million next season and Donald will pocket $23 million.

“This is as special a day for me as any I’ve had in my career,” McCann said during a news conference at SunTrust Park. “To put this uniform back on, with the love I have for this organization, the love I have for everybody from top to bottom, people I’ve known since I was 18 years old, that’s why I’m here.”

McCan played for the Braves from 2005-2013, and was a 7x All-Star in that stretch.
