Jurickson Profar signed a 3-year, $42 million deal with the Braves.
Jurickson Profar’s deal with the Braves is for three years and $42 million, sources said. He’ll join Michael Harris II and Ronald Acuña Jr. to form one of the game’s best outfields. Braves had been quiet all winter, but Profar is a big get. @ByRobertMurray was on top of the news.

This doesn’t bother me because I don’t believe his arm is adequate for right field, his defense isn’t good enough for centerfield, and he has a career 99 wRC+ and it’s best not to buy into his career year he just had at the age of 31.
Tha-tha-that’s all, folks!
