Atlanta, GA (Sports Network) - The Atlanta Braves reportedly signed veteran outfielder Garret Anderson to a one-year contract on Sunday.

The Atlanta-Journal Constitution, which incorrectly reported on Tuesday that future Hall-of-Famer Ken Griffey Jr. was headed to the Braves, disclosed Anderson's deal to be worth $2.5 million. An official announcement is expected on Monday.

Anderson, 36, had spent his entire 15-year career with the Angels, compiling a .296 average with 272 home runs and 1,292 RBI. He has played at least 100 games in each of the past 14 seasons and appeared in 145 tilts last season, batting .293 with 15 round-trippers and 84 RBI.

The three-time All-Star is expected to play left field for the Braves.

Griffey spurned the Braves on Wednesday, announcing he was signing a one-year incentive-laden contract with the Mariners, the team that made him the first overall pick in the 1987 draft.
