Could earn $23.82 million in deal
January 1, 2000

ATLANTA — The Braves added an arm to their rotation today by signing right-hander Aaron Sele.

Sele, 29, signed a two-year contract with a team option for the 2002 season. He will earn $7.95 million in 2000, $7.39 million in 2001, and, if the option is picked up, would earn $8.48 million in 2002.

Sele went 14-10 with a 4.54 ERA in 33 starts for the Tampa Bay Devil Rays last season. He owns a 53-53 career record with a 4.26 ERA in 157 big league starts. Sele spent the first five years of his career with the Boston Red Sox, the last two seasons with Tampa Bay.

The Devil Rays will receive a second-round draft pick as compensation for Sele's loss.

Braves manager Bobby Cox said in a radio interview that Sele may start the year as the team's #2 starter behind Greg Maddux.
