Braves sign Peter Bourjos (again) to a minor league deal, release Jaff Decker

Peter Bourjos’ first stint with the Braves in 2018 did not go particularly well. Deficiencies with his bat basically relegated him to spot appearances in the field, as a pinch runner, and as a pinch hitter with the presence of Preston Tucker and other, more appealing options. He did not help his cause with a pretty awful slide that cost the Braves a run (and probably a win), but his performance overall was the bigger issue that led to his release after posting a .120/.185/.160 line in 25 plate appearances with the team.
