Jordan Luplow Reaches One-Year Deal With Braves
The Atlanta Braves and free-agent outfielder Jordan Luplow agreed to a one-year, $1.4 million deal Monday, per MLB.com's Mark Bowman. The Braves attempted to acquire the 29-year-old in 2022 via trade with the Arizona Diamondbacks, but they opted not to move him. Luplow is a strong defensive player but slashed just .176/.274/.361 with 11 home runs, 28 RBI and five steals in 234 plate appearances last season. While the Braves outfield is still up in the air, Luplow's low batting average and lack of upside in counting stats limit his fantasy value, even if he were to see consistent plate appearances.
