The Atlanta Braves add a veteran Blue Jays player

The deal was first reported by Jon Heyman. The Atlanta Braves later announced that the former Blue Jays outfielder would also get an invitation to spring with his minor-league contract. Ezequiel Carrera has played seven seasons in the majors for a combined BA of .262.

The #Braves have agreed to terms with OF Ezequiel Carrera on a minor-league contract with an invitation to major league spring training. He will wear uniform No. 62 with Atlanta.

Carrera has been somewhat of a journeyman during his 7 years, being on rosters of the Cleveland Indians, Philadelphia Phillies, and the Detroit Tigers as well as the Toronto Blue Jays… where there was a connection to Braves’ GM Alex Anthopoulos just prior to his departure from Canada.
