3) The Adam Duvall signing ends any hope Eli White had of making the Braves Opening Day roster
Eli White was a non-roster invitee hoping to make Atlanta's Opening Day roster perhaps as their fourth outfielder, but that's all but out the window now.
White was a bit of a longshot to make the roster for a couple of reasons. First, he's not on Atlanta's 40-man roster. Second, he's just a .181 hitter with a .546 OPS in his 136 career MLB appearances. He'd provide a ton of value as a pinch runner, but the Braves would need more than that from a fourth outfielder.
White was showing more than that and has had a strong start to his spring, recording nine hits in 25 at-bats including three doubles and eight RBI. White has also tacked on eight walks (compared to just five strikeouts) and a pair of stolen bases. The speedster who happens to have a .515 OBP this spring might've forced his way onto Atlanta's Opening Day roster, but Duvall's signing likely puts an end to that.
If the 29-year-old keeps hitting to begin the minor league season, perhaps he can be Atlanta's first choice when it comes to a midseason call-up.
