2022 Braves player review: Jesse Chavez

Related Topics: Jesse Chavez, Atlanta Braves

Last year, when we took a look at Jesse Chavez’s role with Atlanta in 2021 and his outlook for 2022, it is doubtful that anyone could have predicted the circuitous route Chavez would take to get back to Atlanta this past season.

How Acquired

Way back when, in 2001, Jesse Chavez was drafted by the Chicago Cubs in the 39th round but didn’t sign. The following season, he signed with the Texas Rangers after being selected in the 42nd round.

If anyone wanted to re-boot Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants as a reality show about MLB players, I hope the casting director gives Chavez a call, because for the past two decades he has bounced back and forth between organizations as if his fashionable sense of haberdasheries were being shared amongst organizations like they were the pantaloons from the afore mentioned book/movie series.
