ATLANTA -- Jarred Kelenic is eager to change the narrative after his trade to the Atlanta Braves.

He doesn't want to be another prized prospect who fails to live up to lofty expectations. For sure, he doesn't want to be remembered mostly as the guy who foolishly broke his foot kicking a water cooler in frustration.

"I'm looking forward to a fresh start," Kelenic said Wednesday.

The 24-year-old outfielder has been the most intriguing acquisition of the offseason for the Braves, who won an MLB-leading 104 games this past season but failed to advance in the playoffs.
