The Atlanta Braves have agreed to a minor-league deal with Pablo Sandoval, according to Jon Heyman of MLB Network.
The 34-year-old third baseman will report to the team's alternate training site, notes Heyman. The San Francisco Giants released Sandoval last week after he hit .220/.278/.268 with one homer over 33 games this season.
Sandoval had enjoyed a decent bounce-back campaign with the Giants in 2019, authoring a .268/.313/.507 slash line with 14 homers and one stolen base over 108 games.
The Braves have primarily relied upon sophomore slugger Austin Riley at the hot corner this season. The 23-year-old has posted a dismal .711 OPS with seven homers in 2020, accruing minus-0.2 WAR, according to FanGraphs.
