1. Ehire Adrianza

Ehire Adrianza has been on and off with the Braves for the past few seasons. The 11-year veteran has spent a portion of the past three seasons wearing a Braves uniform. He made five appearances for the big-league club last season and six the previous year. He made his biggest impression during the 2021 championship season, playing in 109 games for Atlanta and posting a 92 OPS+ with a solid .327 OBP. He played 3B, RF, 2B, LF, SS, and two innings in CF that season.

Adrianza's bat has never been much but it appears to be dead at this point. A part of it could be that he hasn't racked up many plate appearances over the past two seasons. He's been relegated to sitting on the big-league bench rather than getting reps in the minors. This makes him a prime candidate to fill that role at a very low price once again in 2024.

2. Johan Camargo

Remember when Johan Camargo was seen as the third baseman of the future ahead of Austin Riley? That was a real thing. Camargo is still just 29 (turning 30 in April). He was an Atlanta Brave from 2017-2021. His breakout season came in 2018 at the age of 24. He played 134 games and slugged 19 homers while driving in 76 runs. He slashed .272/.349/.457 that year.

Since his fantastic 2018 campaign, Camargo has slashed .219/.272/.344 over 579 PAs. That is good (or bad) for a 62 OPS+.

As recent as last season, Camargo made four big-league starts at shortstop for the Giants. He has played 3B, SS, 2B, LF, 1B, and RF throughout his major league career.
