The Atlanta Braves are getting older in their starting rotation next season. A lot, lot older.

Not content to add one 40-something starter, the Braves made it two by agreeing to terms with 43-year-old Bartolo Colon, a person familiar with the situation told the Associated Press on Friday. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because no announcement is expected from the Braves until next week on the reported $12.5 million, one-year deal with Colon.

The agreement is subject to a physical and comes one day after the Braves said they had an agreement with 42-year-old knuckleballer R.A. Dickey.

MLB.com first reported the Colon deal, which includes a team option for 2018.

Colon went 15-8 with a 3.43 ERA for the Mets this season. He was picked for the All-Star Game and memorably became the oldest player in baseball history to hit his first career homer when he went deep at San Diego May 7.

While having two 40-year-old starters is not unprecedented — the 1990 Rangers featured 43-year-old Nolan Ryan and 42-year-old Charlie Hough — it’s extremely rare.

Still, Colon and Dickey both fit what the Braves were hoping to add as they prepare to move into SunTrust Park: experienced starters who could eat up innings and not require long-term contracts that would hamper payroll flexibility.

Colon and Dickey will bolster a shaky rotation that didn’t produce anyone with double-figure wins this past season but does feature two-time All-Star Julio Teheran and hard-throwing Mike Foltynewicz, who led the team with a 9-5 record.

Colon had 44 wins for the Mets over the last three seasons, and before that was an 18-game winner for Oakland at age 40. He’s also one of the game’s most popular players, which should make a good fit in the clubhouse.

The Braves also have re-signed Josh Collmenter, who will likely join young pitchers Matt Wisler, Aaron Blair and Tyrell Jenkins in competing for the fifth starter spot.

Blue Jays add bats

The Blue Jays added some more bats to their lineup, signing slugger Kendrys Morales and Cuban infielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr., according to multiple reports. Morales reportedly agreed to a three-year, $33 million deal while Gurriel, who defected from Cuba in February, signed a seven-year, $22 million deal . . . The Phillies acquired veteran infielder Howie Kendrick from the Dodgers for first baseman Darin Ruf and utilityman Darnell Sweeney . . . The Rangers signed former Red Sox third baseman Will Middlebrooks to a minor league contract. Middlebrooks spent most of last season with Triple A Colorado Springs in the Milwaukee organization . . . The Brewers extended the contract of manager Craig Counsell through the 2020 season.
