Outfielder Peter Bourjos has elected free agency, per the MLB.com transactions page. He had recently been designated for assignment and evidently cleared waivers.
Bourjos, 31, has been on and off the MLB roster in Atlanta, providing the team with a .205/.239/.364 batting line over 47 total plate appearances. He has been quite a bit more productive at Triple-A this year, where he carries a .277/.352/.511 slash in 105 trips to the plate.
It seems that Bourjos will at least look around for another opportunity. But he already did so once earlier in the season and ended up returning to the Braves on a minor-league deal. That again seems a plausible, but by no means certain, outcome.
Nice knowing ya
Surprise!
Woj just said LeBron is about to recruit him to come to LA. Gotta counter that Boogie move somehow.
What a relief. If we could only get Socolovich to do the same..
Why hasn’t carter Stewart signed yet?

Angels will pick him up they like outfield that suck oh yea he suck like he did back in the day with the angels along with Gary Matthews
Yeah, that 5 WAR season Bourjos had with the Angel’s in 2011 was awful, then injuries set in. Some of you with your comments need to get a life.
90% of Triple A players do not make it to the bigs! Peter is an excellent ballplayer…… he just isn’t as good as other major league players. He still is in the top 10% of active players.
Exactly. You don’t accrue almost 8 years of MLB service time by NOT being good at something. His speed and defense were exemplary. One will never know for sure, but a wrist injury /surgery could have hampered his offensive production?
