Atlanta Braves close to adding outfield depth by signing Yasiel Puig

According to Mark Feinsand (Twitter link), the Braves agreed a deal with former Dodger Yasiel Puig, pending a physical. The news brought a wide range of reactions from Braves fans on Twitter, but with Nick Markakis choosing to opt-out and Freddie Freeman's return delayed, adding depth always looked possible.

Rumors flying around that Puig's potential signing was a knee-jerk reaction to Cristian Pache's sore ankle make no sense. Pache. We should know by now the Alex Anthopoulos doesn't do knee-jerk reaction signings, and if they were looking for a Pache-type, it wouldn't be Puig.
