Braves announce they have asked for outfielders Jake Fraley Exempt red exemption. Cincinnati designated him as a mission a few days ago. Atlanta has multiple 40-person vacancies. Once Fraley reports to the team, they will need to open a positive roster because it cannot be selected as a minor without his consent.
Fraley has had some major league success, but hasn't had his best season. He has several jobs on the list of injuries, one due to tenderness in his left leg and the other due to a sprain in his right shoulder. These injuries limited his 67 games against the Reds. His .232/.332/.387 batting line translated to 98 WRC+, indicating that he is 2% below the league average. Despite having won at least 20 in the first two seasons, he only stole four bases.
The Reds squeezed him out of the lineup and chose to give him some playing time Will Benson When they try to play the playoffs. Atlanta is in a different situation because they have no dispute this year. Fraley can stay in 2026, so they can give him some playing time in his game to see if he deserves a contract next year.
His career has had ups and downs, but there are a lot of things in his profile, especially his ability to succeed in placing the edge. He is a left-handed batsman, and his career is .260/.344/.434 line, while the right wing has 112 WRC+ against the right. On the south claw side, the line is only .172/.269/.234, resulting in 45 WRC+. As mentioned earlier, he can slide a few bags too. He only has four this year, but in 2023 and last year 20 points.
Defensively, the comments are mixed together. Playing as these three attractions, all four of his career outs are above average. The ability to save on defensive scoring makes him worse -9. However, the Doctor hates his work in the center and right fields, but likes his left.
And more.
