The Braves have reached an agreement to sign free-agent left-hander Dallas Keuchel, according to multiple reports.
Keuchel won the American League Cy Young Award in 2015, with a 20-8 record and a 2.48 ERA. He struck out 216 batters in 232 innings, while walking only 51 that season. He helped lead the Astros to a second-place finish in the AL West before Houston lost to the Kansas City Royals in a Division Series.
The past three seasons, Keuchel compiled a 35-28 record with a 3.77 ERA. Overall, Keuchel has been chosen for two All-Star games and has won five Gold Gloves.
Keuchel, 31, was drafted by the Astros in the seventh round of the 2009 draft after his career at the University of Arkansas.
