Should the Braves consider Lourdes Gurriel Jr. for Left Field?

Now that it has been a few days since the World Series, the Atlanta Braves are in off-season mode. Alex Anthopoulos has already made some moves in the re-signing of key bullpen pieces.

There is no question that the Atlanta Braves offense was historic last season, but the one position that was the weakest was left field. In Terms of fWAR, Atlanta ranked nineteenth in MLB for the position of LF. To be fair, that was an improvement from twenty-ninth in 2022, but nineteenth shows room for improvement.

Eddie Rosario was the primary left fielder for the Braves in 2023 and he has a $9MM club option that has yet to be exercised.
