The Braves re-signed reliever Pierce Johnson to a $14.25 million, two-year contract Wednesday in the first offseason move for the team that posted baseball's best record this season.

Johnson, who provided the Braves with a hard-throwing option out of the bullpen after being acquired from Colorado, will make $7 million each of the next two seasons. The deal also includes a $7 million club option for 2026 with a $250,000 buyout.

Craig Breslow will be the new head of baseball operations for the Boston Red Sox, with the former big league reliever accepting the team's offer on Tuesday, a source told ESPN's Buster Olney, confirming a report in The Boston Globe.

Breslow was a longtime pitcher in the majors, including five seasons with the Red Sox -- the first in 2006 then a four-year run from 2012 to 2015. A lefty reliever, he was part of Boston's title-winning team in 2013.

Arizona Diamondbacks general manager Mike Hazen has agreed to a new contract through the 2028 season with a club option for 2029, it was announced Wednesday.

Hazen has been the architect of the D-backs' rebuild, helping the team qualify for the playoffs this October for the first time since 2017.
