Braves potential free agent target: Yasiel Puig

Okay, okay....please hold your rotten vegetables to the end.

The Braves have a lineup and roster problem. The lineup problem isn’t really their fault as the league and players union can’t come together on whether or not there will be a designated hitter in the National League (there should be).

The roster problem is more in their control, however. With Marcell Ozuna currently a free agent, Atlanta pretty clearly needs a big bat as well as some guys with offensive upside going down the lineup. I will not be making the case that Puig is likely at all to be that big bat because, well, he isn’t even though its a fringe possibility.
