The Atlanta Braves are prioritizing an outfield bat this offseason, especially to cover for Ronald Acuña Jr. while he recovers. A suggestion from The Athletic's David O’Brien highlights free agent Jurickson Profar as a strong candidate due to his impressive numbers and connection with Braves star Ozzie Albies.

Profar, coming off a career-best season with the San Diego Padres, showcased his abilities with a .280 batting average, 24 home runs, and an OPS of .839. His friendship with Albies could play a pivotal role in his potential signing. Despite uncertainty about repeating last season's success, Profar's track record offers more reliability compared to current Braves outfielders.
