"Siani, 26, debuted with the Cincinnati Reds in 2022 but spent the last several seasons with the Cardinals. A defensive-first outfielder, who has played center field extensively, appeared in only 19 games in 2025 with the big league club but saw action in 124 games in 2024. He has a career 58 wRC+ in 160 games. He does have base-running value - rating in the 96th percentile in 2024 - while stealing 20 bases with the Cardinals."
"Fraley, whom the Braves claimed off waivers from the Reds in mid-August last season, appeared in only nine games with Atlanta before being lost for the season with injury. Fraley,30, has a career 101 wRC+ in 468 career games. He was teammates with Siani with the Reds. Fraley seemed like a boarder-line option to return to Atlanta in 2026 given offensive production that was near-league average with acceptable defense. He is arbitration eligible for the final time this off-season."
The Atlanta Braves claimed outfielder Michael Siani off waivers from the St. Louis Cardinals and lost outfielder Jake Fraley to the Tampa Bay Rays via waivers. Siani, 26, is a defensive-first center fielder who appeared in 19 big-league games in 2025 after 124 games in 2024 and owns a career 58 wRC+ in 160 games, plus elite baserunning (96th percentile in 2024) with 20 steals. Fraley, 30, played nine games for Atlanta before a season-ending injury, carries a career 101 wRC+ in 468 games, and is arbitration eligible for the final time this offseason. The moves primarily clear roster spots five days after the World Series.
