Getting an outfield bat sits near the top of the priority list for the Atlanta Braves in the offseason. In a very unoriginal point, the Braves need to find someone who can fill in for Ronald Acuña Jr. while he’s out but can also slide over to left field once he returns.
However, one Braves beat writer made a suggestion that would fit into the equation well. The Athletic’s David O’Brien put on X (formerly Twitter) that San Diego Padres free agent outfielder Jurickson Profar would be a nice addition for the Braves.
He likes the numbers that the switch-hitting outfielder has put up and the relationship he has with one of the Braves’ star players.
