The Atlanta Braves acquired former top prospect Jarred Kelenic from the Seattle Mariners in an offseason trade. The deal brings Kelenic back to the National League East, as he was drafted by the New York Mets before getting traded to Seattle. So will Kelenic play everyday for Atlanta?
“Alex Anthopolous said the #Braves are leaning toward playing Jarred Kelenic every day rather than start out in a platoon. They believe he’ll benefit more from everyday at-bats, even if he struggles early like Michael Harris II did. That will also play into the decision on 4th OF,” David O'Brien of The Athletic wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
