10 players you might’ve forgotten were Atlanta Braves

While you likely remember a majority of players who spent time with the Atlanta Braves since late-2014 at the major league level, what about the ones in recent years who never appeared in a major league game with the club?

There have obviously been numerous players in recent years who spent time in the Atlanta Braves organization that you may have forgotten about, many of which saw time in the major leagues. However, what about a few players who spent time in the organization, but never played in a single game with the Braves at the major league level?

10 players you might’ve forgotten were Atlanta Braves

Included in this group are a few all-time greats, current MLB players, former Braves who you might not have remembered returned post-2014, and even a former football player, all of which have occurred since the 2014 season concluded.

But first, a few honorable mentions, two of which were big names you may have forgotten saw time with the Braves in the major leagues from 2015 to now, as well as one that almost happened recently.

HM. Jose Bautista

With injuries playing a role during the early-part of the 2018 season, the Braves signed the six-time All-Star and three-time Silver Slugger winner on April 18, 2018.

Called up on May 4, 2018, Bautista went 5-for-35 with two home runs across 12 games at third base before being released on May 20, 2018.

HM. Cole Hamels

A name that some Braves fans will most likely remember is Hamels, one of Atlanta’s big free-agent signings from the 2019-20 offseason.

However, the four-time All-Star only made one start for the Braves during the shortened 2020 season, one that was headlined by injuries.  He got through 3 innings, but left early in the 4th.

HM. Yasiel Puig

Now yes, Puig was never officially a member of the Braves organization, but it feels like it needs to be mentioned here as the signing of the former Dodgers outfielder was heavily reported during the 2020 season.
