Braves Claim Osvaldo Bido and Anthony Molina, Designate Josh Walker

The moves reinforce Atlanta's focus on low-cost pitching depth entering the Winter Meetings.

Overview

  • Atlanta announced the two waiver claims and Walker's designation Friday to create 40-man roster space.
  • Osvaldo Bido arrives from Oakland after a 5.87 ERA in 79.2 innings in 2025, a year removed from a 3.41 ERA over 63.1 innings in 2024.
  • Anthony Molina comes from Colorado after a 2025 season with a 7.27 ERA, 12 home runs allowed, 24 strikeouts and six walks in 34.2 innings across 17 appearances.
  • Reports suggest Bido profiles as a potential bullpen or spot-start option if he rebounds, while the 23-year-old Molina projects as Triple-A depth heading into his age-24 season.
  • Aram Leighton of Just Baseball reported that outfielder Ben Gamel agreed to a minor-league deal with Atlanta.
