The Atlanta Braves made a significant free agency move by signing outfielder Jurickson Profar to a three-year, $42 million contract. Profar is coming off a standout season, posting impressive stats including a .280 batting average and 24 home runs in 2024. This acquisition addresses a gap in the Braves' outfield, particularly with Ronald Acuña Jr. unavailable. The team solidifies its roster with Profar, who has shown promising performance post-2023. Additionally, he commits to donate a portion of his salary to the Atlanta Braves Foundation, enhancing his positive impact on the team and community.
Profar is coming off of a career year in a contract season, as he hit .280/.380/.459 with a .365 wOBA, 24 home runs and a 139 wRC+.
With Ronald Acuña Jr. not returning immediately, the outfield needed to be reinforced and this is a very solid way for Atlanta to go about doing so.
