Braves Outright J.P. Martinez

By Anthony Franco | July 10, 2024 at 8:30pm CDT

The Braves announced that outfielder J.P. Martínez went unclaimed on outright waivers. Atlanta had designated him for assignment on Monday when they promoted Eddie Rosario. Atlanta also optioned AJ Smith-Shawver, placed Ramón Laureano on the 10-day injured list with an oblique strain, recalled Dylan Lee and reinstated Brian Anderson from the IL.

Martínez has appeared in seven games this year, picking up a lone start in right field. He has two hits in 10 at-bats. Acquired from the Rangers in an offseason DFA trade, Martínez has spent the majority of the year on optional assignment to Triple-A Gwinnett. Over 60 games with the Stripers, he’s hitting .244/.335/.360 with three home runs. Martínez has drawn a fair number of walks (10.9%) but gone down on strikes at an alarming 27.6% rate.

While he hasn’t had a great ’24 season, Martínez was a productive Triple-A player a year ago. He raked at a .298/.418/.543 clip with 14 homers and 38 stolen bases over 77 games with the Rangers’ top affiliate. That earned the Cuban-born outfielder 17 MLB appearances with Texas.

Martínez has never previously been outrighted and isn’t close to three years of major league service. As a result, he doesn’t have the ability to test free agency. He’ll stick in Gwinnett as non-roster outfield depth. Atlanta is likely to bring in outfield help before the July 30 deadline. With Laureano joining Ronald Acuña Jr. and Michael Harris II on the injured list, their current outfield group consists of Jarred Kelenic, Adam Duvall, Rosario, Anderson and Eli White.

    Braves lose an option on Lee now. Can he hit as well as pitch?

      Options don’t work like that anymore.

    Bo bichette got pulled mid game against the giants. Rumor is a trade.

        I just saw it. Too early of a post. I’m at the game and didn’t see it.

      Blue jays are reporting he was removed with calf soreness.

      I don’t think we will see any trades of any major players until after the draft next week. I think front offices are too busy with their personnel on that. Generally; though the last day is the busiest as teams have heard all the trade proposals.

      I would bet against Bichette coming to Atlanta; don’t think his defensive; his off year at the plate and the talent it would take to land him for Atlanta

        The Braves value good defensive SS to support their pitching. Bo Bichette’s defense doesn’t match the Braves’ M. O.

      Why would Braves trade for him? He’s doodoo and not worth what the jays would be asking (Braves can’t afford either). Plus his dad is a top tier scumbag and wife beater.

        you do realize that Dante and Bo are different people right? His dad might be a piece of trash but that doesn’t mean Bo is

          You know what? I never really thought of that. It’s possible, but unlikely. 95% they are the same person. Until I can see definitive proof that he isn’t Dante I will stick with the facts.

          Occams Razor and all. Most likely scenario is he is just a greasier version of Dante.

          sorry I must have used too many words with more than two syllables so you had a hard time understanding what I wrote.

          It’s okay. It’s always good to practice using words you aren’t always comfortable with. Don’t let this discourage you from language learning. Keep trying to use bigger words and expand that vocabulary!

          Happy learning!!! 🙂

          good for you for not letting your lack of reading comprehension keep you down. your enthusiasm in the face of your own shortcomings must be an inspiration to you and your ilk.

          Thank you! And I reciprocate the compliment. Facing one’s own shortcomings with enthusiasm is an amazing characteristic we both share. An eagerness to improve ourselves. Just as you say, we are of the same ilk. Brothers in arms.

          Keep learning brother!! I noticed you edited your first comment to reflect two syllables rather than three. Top marks! Keep shining

          shoot I used too many big words again obviously above your reading level.. My mistake. I’ll make sure to dumb things down for you in the future.

          If you want to continue practicing a language you should expand the discussion. You have focused on me for too long, scolding yourself for your lack of proficiency in talking to me. Don’t get so down on yourself. Instead try telling me about yourself. Use different vocab about your interests. It should make learning more enjoyable.

    It’s nice to hear Brian Anderson is still making MLB money. If he’s still on the team when you next play the Marlins he’ll probably go 7 for 15 with a Home Run.

    They thought JD Martinez was still a free agent, they brought him in and realized it wasn’t him so let him go
