The Atlanta Braves have spent the past two days getting much, much older.

After agreeing to a one-year deal with 42-year-old R.A. Dickey on Thursday, the Braves agreed to a one-year, $12.5-million deal with 43-year-old Bartolo Colon on Friday, a source told Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports.

Atlanta now employs two of the three oldest players in the majors.

Colon spent the last three years with the New York Mets, becoming a fan favorite and an All-Star for the fourth time in 2016.

Despite his age, he has remained effective and durable. He went 15-8 with a 3.83 ERA and 1.21 WHIP across 191 2/3 innings last season, and has averaged 16 wins and 195 innings over the past four seasons.

The $12.5 million Colon will earn in 2017 will be his highest salary since 2007.

With Colon signing with a division rival, the Mets will now likely be in the market for another starter as Matt Harvey and Zack Wheeler are both coming off injuries.
