Atlanta Braves They also “discussed” the interest of the left player Joc Pederson, posted on Twitter the well-known journalist David O’Brien from The Athletic. It is clear to add that there is no indication that discussions between the two sides have gone particularly far at this time. Pederson would give Braves a potential replacement for his free colleague, a Dominican free agent Marcell Ozuna.
This former gold glove, former silver bat and former All Star is probably looking for a longer, more profitable business than Pederson, after it evolved brilliantly in 2020, with a one-year business, 18 million USD.
There will probably be room for salary for any of the players, especially if a delay with Ozuna, aged 30, is a little late, but the current Braves regime has generally focused on short-term transactions.
Pederson would probably need a platoon partner with the Braves (for the reasons detailed below). Speculatively speaking, Austin Riley could take that role by moving on the left field against the left, Johan Camargo replacing him in the hot corner in those days.
The 27-year-old Camargo Panamanian, 1.83 meters tall, is ambidextrous and has a .286 / .337 / .506 lifetime batter when he hits the right side of the board.
