Atlanta Braves Release Third Baseman Jose Bautista

Well, Atlanta Braves fans, its time to say goodbye to Atlanta Braves Jose Bautista!

Read on and see why the Atlanta Braves have decided to follow suit with the Toronto Blue Jays and release Jose Bautista…

Atlanta Braves Release Third Baseman Jose BautistaCelebNSports247.com has just received word that Jose Bautista has been given his walking papers from the Atlanta Braves.

The Atlanta Braves were hoping that there was still some air in Jose Bautista tires for 2018, but it appears not.

Bautista paid off almost immediately after smashing his 1st home run of the season, but it was all downhill from there. In just 12 games with the club, Bautista managed just a .593 OPS, going just 5-for-35 (.143) with two home runs, one double, five walks, and 12 strikeouts. Certainly not ideal.

Obviously, that wasn’t enough for the Braves and now they’ve decided to cut him from their roster.

The Braves took to social media to announce the 37-year-old Domincan pro-ballers dismissal:

The Atlanta #Braves today granted 3B José Bautista his release. Johan Camargo will be the everyday 3B. RHP Lucas Sims has been recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett.

Anthopoulos had this to say:

The No. 1 priority here is – to the 24 or 25 guys in that clubhouse, to the fan base, to the city – winning games. This is about the Braves at all times, and I think everybody understands that, no matter what.

Here is what the Braves had this to say to press upon Bautista’s release:

The six-time All-Star has not stated anything about retiring. Though, he still has a standing offer to return to Triple-A Gwinnett if he can’t find work elsewhere
