New York Yankees: Three trade destinations for Miguel Andujar
By David Hill
Atlanta Braves
In another day or two, the Atlanta Braves may not need a third baseman. But it would not hurt to keep their options open.
It is a matter of what happens with Josh Donaldson. The Braves third baseman last year, he seemingly wants to return to Atlanta, but he also wants a four year deal. While the Twins and the Nationals have reportedly made such offers to him, he is still sitting in free agency, presumably waiting to see if the Braves will match that fourth year.
However, there is only one Donaldson, and several teams vying for his services. As the Braves do not seem overly inclined, at least at present, to give him that fourth year, they need to find another option for the hot corner.
Enter Miguel Andujar. He would fit the Braves desire to have long term, controllable assets throughout the roster. As he remains pre-arbitration for another year, the money saved on salary could go towards long term extensions for other players on the roster. And, the Braves have the type of prospects that the New York Yankees could potentially ask for.
The Atlanta Braves need a third baseman. Miguel Andujar could be a nice backup plan if they are unable to bring back Josh Donaldson.
