The Atlanta Braves could get desperate in an attempt to stay competitive in the loaded National League East heading into 2025.

The Atlanta Braves are finally making moves, with Jurickson Profar now slated to roam the outfield alongside Ronald Acuña Jr. and Michael Harris II.

Profar, one-time Texas infielder, now 32, broke into the big leagues at 19 but has been hampered by lack of playing time and uncertainty over how, when, and where he should be used. According to media reports, he had been pursued by several other clubs – including San Diego and Philadelphia – seeking to beef up their batting orders.

Profar, a switch-hitting outfielder, will help the Braves fill Ronald Acuña Jr.’s absence, and could be their starting left fielder when Acuna returns.

Jurickson Profar agreed to a $42 million, three-year contract with the Atlanta Braves, less than a year after the outfielder got a $1 million deal from the San Diego Padres with spring training already underway.

The Atlanta Braves, who are one of the favorites to win the National League pennant in 2025, have an expensive lineup - but it's only barely worth more than Juan Soto's record-setting deal with the New York Mets.

Profar, a switch-hitter, began lifting his front leg higher at the start of his swing. He said advice from former major leaguer Fernando Tatis and work with San Diego outfielder Fernando Tatis Jr. last offseason helped convince him to make the change, which added power to his swing.
