The Atlanta Braves tack on yet another minor league contract to the growing number this offseason. According to FanSided’s Robert Murray, first baseman Garrett Cooper is heading to the Braves organization.
He will receive an invite to Spring Traning, presumably as a non-roster invite since it’s a minor-league deal.

If he earns a spot on the big league roster in Spring Traning, we can assure everyone that he will come in a platoon outfielder, a position he has taken the field for in 77 career games.
