Atlanta Braves Sign Bryan De La Cruz

The Atlanta Braves are making offseason moves to address their outfield concerns, having signed Bryan De La Cruz and Conner Capel to bolster their roster. De La Cruz, who had a disappointing 2024 season, is on a non-guaranteed one-year contract, providing the Braves with flexibility and depth as they seek to improve after a brief playoff appearance. Capel, previously with the Oakland Athletics and Cincinnati Reds, has shown some promise at the MLB level, but his recent performance has raised doubts about his ability to secure an everyday position. With Ronald Acuna Jr. recovering from knee surgery, the Braves face uncertainty in the outfield, relying on these new signings to fill the gap. Despite their efforts, fans remain anxious about the lack of a definitive solution to their outfield problems as they prepare for the 2025 season. The Braves are under pressure to compete against strong rivals like the Philadelphia Phillies and New York Mets in the NL East.
