Braves Add McCutchen on Minor League Deal
Atlanta continues to bolster offensive depth by signing the 18-year veteran, who will begin in the Florida Complex League.
Andrew McCutchen has signed a minor league deal with the Atlanta Braves after being DFA'd and released by the Texas Rangers in late May. McCutchen posted a 55 wRC+ in 83 plate appearances with Texas this season. The Braves have been shorthanded offensively due to extended absences from Sean Murphy and Ronald Acuña Jr., and also recently parted ways with Rowdy Tellez. McCutchen will report to the Florida Complex League to get into playing shape before any potential MLB role.
