ATLANTA (AP) — The Atlanta Braves and right-hander Joel Payamps agreed to a one-year, $2.25 million deal on Monday in another move to retain a veteran member of the team's bullpen. The Braves signed Payamps off waivers from the Milwaukee Brewers late last season. Payamps, 31, allowed one run in 2 2/3 innings with Atlanta and finished the season with a 6.84 ERA overall in 30 games.
