The Braves have designated infielder/outfielder Emilio Bonifacio for assignment, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s David O’Brien tweets. Bonifacio signed a one-year, $1.25MM deal with the team in December. Nonetheless, the Braves had other options they liked better in camp, and Bonifacio’s fate was likely sealed by Jeff Francoeur making the team and the Braves adding Drew Stubbs in a late-breaking move.
Bonifacio played sparingly for the White Sox in 2015, but collected 426 plate appearances in 2014, some of those with the Braves after arriving in a July trade. In the last three seasons, he’s batted .243/.291/.325 in 969 plate appearances while playing second, third, shortstop and all three outfield positions.
Can you say cut from the roster next time? Saying just “cut” sounds like you split him wide open with some sort of saw
Yeah, I thought they used a saw and cut him when I read the headline too. I’m glad that’s not what happened.
What? Really? It isn’t a high school team, we all know what cut means in professional sports.
Any chance the D’backs might scoop him up? Would be a decent backup and utility man
D’Backs want Bourn to play in place of Pollack?
This thread is about Boni not bourn. He’s cheap. For that matter I think the angel could possibly be checking into him too. But I could be wrong, and that’s why I’m at home and not out being a reporter
I understand, but Bourn is more of an OFer than Boni, only reason I out it out there given Pollack is out for foreseeable future.
Emilio. St. Louis is on line three.
They’ll me about it I think we have all been around baseball long enough to know what “cut” means
