".206/.267/.299 in 116 plate appearances with the Cubs and Red Sox at the end of 2022 highlights Cooper's struggles in recent seasons."
"Cooper has a career .265/.333/.427 batting line and is especially effective against left-handed pitchers with a .283/.333/.468 record."
"Weems had a strong start with a 2.79 ERA in April, however, his recent performances reflect a significant decline which led to his release."
"The Braves' decision to release Cooper and Weems indicates a strategic move to make room for potentially more productive players in their minor league system."
The Atlanta Braves have released first baseman/outfielder Garrett Cooper and right-handed reliever Jordan Weems after they had been performing with the team's Triple-A affiliates. Cooper, a veteran with an injury-plagued history, showed some early promise with a good on-base percentage but struggled significantly in recent games. Similarly, Weems had a strong start to the season but faced difficulties soon after. Both players may draw interest from teams needing veteran depth in their lineups as they enter free agency.
