ATLANTA -- Cuban outfielder Dian Toscano and the Atlanta Braves have agreed to a $6 million, four-year contract.<br />
<br />
The 25-year-old, a left-handed hitter, batted .356 during the 2012-13 season for Villa Clara in Cuba.<br />
<br />
His deal, announced Wednesday, includes a $1.2 million signing bonus payable 72 hours after he reports to major league spring training and salaries of $800,000 this year, $1 million in 2016, $1.3 million in 2017 and $1.5 million in 2018.<br />
<br />
Atlanta has a $1.7 million option for 2019 with a $200,000 buyout.<br />
<br />
The Braves are rebuilding their outfield after trading Jason Heyward, Justin Upton and Evan Gattis.<br />
<br />
Nick Markakis was signed to replace Heyward in right field. Other newcomers include Zoilo Almonte and Eury Perez and Jonny Gomes. B.J. Upton returns in centerfield.<br />
<br />
To make room for Toscano on the 40-man roster, outfielder Jose Constanza was designated for assignment.
