Did the Atlanta Braves do well by signing Jurickson Profar to a three-year, $42 million deal? I can’t say I’m a huge fan. But, that part isn’t really important. What is important is that I can think of a bunch of interesting things that the deal calls to mind,

The Braves announced that they have signed free agent outfielder Jurickson Profar to a three-year, $42MM deal. The MVP Sports Group client will make $12MM this year and then $15MM in each of the next two seasons.

The Braves have only made one notable move this offseason, signing Jurickson Profar to a three-year deal. The outfield was the single biggest area of the team that needed bolstering, but it’s not the only one.

ESPN's Bradford Doolittle was critical of the Atlanta Braves signing outfielder Jurickson Profar to a 3-year, $42 million contract this offseason.

Back in December, the Mets reportedly offered Teoscar Hernández a two-year deal, indicating a willingness to add to the outfield. However, that was before Winker was re-signed. The fact that they apparently hung around the Profar market even with Winker on the roster suggests a willingness to continue adding.
