Braves Add Players, Subtract Financial Flexibility

Clementina was originally signed by the Dodgers, then traded to the Reds, then signed by the Braves in 2021 after his release. At 23, he’s still young enough to recover and have a career in the bigs, but for now it seems like he’s destined for the lower minors. His carrying tool has been his bat and it sounds as though most of his catching skills need upgrading. The Braves are definitely top heavy when it comes to catching talent and this signing likely helps provide depth in the lower minors. My guess is Clementina will go to High-A with the ability to move fast should the unknown of 2020’s “work” show his catching skills have improved.
