2021 Braves player review: Carl Edwards Jr.

GThe 2021 season for right-hander Carl Edwards Jr. was a winding path full of starts and stops. A right-handed power arm, Edwards looked like he could be an intriguing possibility for the bullpen if he could somehow harness his potential. There wasn’t a whole lot of success along the way, but it is an interesting story.

How acquired

Edwards spent the first five seasons of his career with the Chicago Cubs and put up a 3.30 ERA and a 3.33 FIP in 174 1/3 innings. He struggled in 2019 and was traded to the San Diego Padres, with whom he made just two appearances.
