Does Atlanta bring back a dominant MLB slugger from overseas for their bench?

The Atlanta Braves need to sign a veteran outfielder to serve as a backup in the outfield for the everyday trio of Ronald Acuña Jr, Michael Harris II, and offseason acquisition Jarred Kelenic.

Here at Braves Today, we’ve dove into this topic already, from Jake writing about some of the different options in general and Kyle making diving into a reunion with Kevin Pillar specifically.

But I’ve got an idea for a MLB veteran that could not only be a dominant force if everything breaks right, but should also be rather affordable (which is relevant, as Atlanta’s rather close to the third CBT threshold and its associated MLB Draft penalties.)

The most likely outcome in this scenario is, as we mentioned above, either a veteran signing for spring training or Forrest Wall as the 4th outfielder to open the season.
