The Atlanta Braves filled their biggest offseason need yesterday, inking Jurickson Profar to a three-year, $42 million contract. The addition patches up the outfield until Ronald Acu\u00f1a Jr. is healthy, and really gives the Braves a lot of depth when the 2023 NL MVP returns to action.<\/p>\n

Atlanta\u2019s lineup will already look a lot different compared to last season with so many players returning from injury. People forget just how dominant this bunch was back in 2023, featuring power up and down the lineup, and Profar adds even more pop to an already prolific lineup.<\/p>\n

Potential Braves 2025 Lineup<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Ronald Acu\u00f1a Jr.<\/li>\n
  2. Michael Harris II<\/li>\n
  3. Austin Riley<\/li>\n
  4. Matt Olson<\/li>\n
  5. Marcell Ozuna<\/li>\n
  6. Ozzie Albies<\/li>\n
  7. Jurickson Profar<\/li>\n
  8. Sean Murphy<\/li>\n
  9. Orlando Arcia<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \u2014<\/p>\n

    That\u2019s a lineup with power from top to bottom. Everybody has had at least one season with 15+ homers, with most capable of hitting 20+.<\/p>\n

    It also doesn\u2019t include the likes of Jarred Kelenic, who could play a much bigger role in Atlanta this season if he finally reaches his full potential. He\u2019ll get a chance to show the Braves what he can offer in an everyday role until Acu\u00f1a is cleared to play, which ultimately could give Brian Snitker more lineup options than he knows what to do with.<\/p>\n

    On top of that, top prospect Drake Baldwin could force his way to Atlanta at some point next season. As a catcher, he has the best hit tools in the entire organization. Baldwin has power to all fields, but he doesn\u2019t solely rely on it to be effective. He\u2019s not afraid to take his walks and is not a high strikeout hitter. If Baldwin proves ready to contribute in 2025, the Braves could once again have a historic offense on their hands.<\/p>\n
