We have been waiting on the Atlanta Braves to make a splash addition for what seems like forever now but they came through on Monday with the signing of Josh Donaldson and to a lesser extent, Brian McCann. Donaldson agreed to a one-year, $23 million deal and will attempt to reestablish his value after an injury plagued 2018 season.
It is a win-win for the Braves in that the signing doesn’t bring a lot of risk and carries a lot of upside. Yes it currently displaces Johan Camargo as the team’s starter at third but it recasts him as a super utility type of player.
