MLB Rumors: Braves take a flier and resign Charlie Culberson…again

Before the trade deadline, the Atlanta Braves were tied to a bunch of different potential reunions. There were a ton of former Braves that could have been traded back to Atlanta to help push for the playoffs and eventually the World Series. Well, this week, Atlanta got their reunion, but it didn’t come in the terms that many expected it would have.

Atlanta resigned Charlie Culberson, again. Culberson has been up and down from the MLB to the minor leagues all season, spending a decent amount of time on the Braves’ active roster. Many may not have known that because the veteran has only made one MLB plate appearance, a single, all season long.

Culberson recently elected free agency over being assigned to the Braves Triple-A team, which gives him the chance to sign with any of the thirty teams in the league. This exact scenario happened in June, when the veteran ultimately ended up signing a minor league deal with Atlanta after weighing his options.

With defensive wizard Nicky Lopez now handling the infield depth role for the Braves, Culberson doesn’t have much of a chance at making the active roster unless an injury occurs. Still, he may resign with the Braves on a minor league deal again after weighing his other options.

Next. 1 trade every MLB team would like to have back. dark
