As mentioned yesterday, the Braves were quite active on the international front, signing 21 players on Sunday. David O’Brien of The Athletic discussed the signings with the Braves international scouting department, and a pretty cool and logical explanation was given as to why the Braves are popular in Latin America.
Ronald Acuna Jr.!
With Acuna Jr. being from Venezuela, he certainly is well known and highly thought of by up and coming talents in his home country. And for that reason, the Braves are quite popular among some of the best baseball talents in Venezuela and Latin America in general.
