Indeed, the Braves have made one of their biggest free agency splashes in recent memory after going out and signing OF Jurickson Profar to a deal. Robert Murray of FanSided was the first to report the news.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">BREAKING: Free-agent outfielder Jurickson Profar and the Atlanta Braves are in agreement on a contract, according to sources familiar with the deal.<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Robert Murray (@ByRobertMurray) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ByRobertMurray\/status\/1882547358946525293?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 23, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p id=\"BV8OWt\">Profar is coming off of a career year in a contract season, as he hit .280\/.380\/.459 with a .365 wOBA (.364 xwOBA), 24 home runs and a 139 wRC+. His performance in 2024 was a markedly massive improvement from how he fared in 2023, which is when he played 111 miserable games with the Rockies before returning to the Padres and looking like his normal self again.<\/p>\n<p id=\"RgSHiv\">As far as the Braves go, this is quite obviously a big deal since they\u2019ve addressed one of their main issues. With Ronald Acu\u00f1a Jr. not returning immediately, the outfield needed to be reinforced and this is a very solid way for Atlanta to go about doing so. If Profar picks up in 2025 where he left off in 2024 then the outfield for the Braves just became yet another position of strength for this team.<\/p>\n<p id=\"6EWJkR\"><strong>UPDATE (5:30 p.m. ET) \u2014<\/strong> The Braves have officially announced the deal. It\u2019s three years and $42 million \u2014 $12 million in 2025 and $15 million for both of the following two seasons. Naturally, he\u2019s donating 1 percent of his salary to the Atlanta Braves Foundation, as well. Connor Gillispie has been designated for assignment in order to make room on the 40-man roster.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"sv\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Braves?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Braves<\/a> Sign Jurickson Profar: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/KdN2I1OdyX\">pic.twitter.com\/KdN2I1OdyX<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Atlanta Braves (@Braves) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Braves\/status\/1882555706232250591?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 23, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Atlanta Braves have finally made the splashy signing that fans and observers alike have been waiting for.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":28635,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-28634","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
