I must have missed it but we signed Preston Tucker on a minor league deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malachore Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 We all knew 1 or more of those guys where going to have some sort of trouble this year after that workload. Thankfully AA planned for it. falconsd56 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unknøwn Posted April 2, 2022 Author Share Posted April 2, 2022 Goins, Gosselin and Valaika all sent to minor league camp. All 3 were battling a backup IF role with Arica. This could be a signal a minor move is coming for a bench bat. Gosselin had been largely expected to join Arica on the roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unknøwn Posted April 3, 2022 Author Share Posted April 3, 2022 DOB said Kyle Muller was clearing his locker this morning. The roster battle is taking shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknøwn Posted April 3, 2022 Author Share Posted April 3, 2022 Braves make it official, Muller to AAA. They also placed Luke Jackson on the 60 day IL and added Darren O'Day to the 40 man. The Braves confirmed a torn UCL for Luke. He'll be the first Brave to have TJ surgery in the AA/Snitker/Kranitz era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknøwn Posted April 3, 2022 Author Share Posted April 3, 2022 Snitker announced Davidson and Strider will be on the Opening Day roster. He'll play matchups on which will be starting as the 6th man. Contreras is also getting the final bench spot. Apparently they plan to work Contreras at 3B, so they can use him at OF, 3B or C if necessary. Arcia will backup 2B/SS. Riley and Duvall will remain the backup 1B options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknøwn Posted April 3, 2022 Author Share Posted April 3, 2022 Unless AA makes some moves this will be your 2022 Braves for Opening Day Rotation: Fried, Morton, Anderson, Wright, Ynoa Bullpen, Jansen, Matzek, McHugh, O'Day, Strider, Thornburg, Minter, Smith, Newk, Davidson Catchers: d'Arnaud, Pina, Contreras Infield: Olson, Albies, Swanson, Riley, Arcia OF: Duvall, Ozuna, Dickerson, Rosario, Heredia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d thought they would have Contreras work at 3B in the minors and use his roster spot on an extra pitcher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reports are he's looked pretty smooth in the OF. He's just a really athletic guy. Pina and d'Arnaud are locked in for 2 seasons so he can contribute and add versatility. falconsd56 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
