Just like every child playing baseball, outfielder Jurickson Profar dreamed of playing in the major leagues. But MLB.com's Mark Bowman described that Profar's dream was also to wear an Atlanta Braves uniform.

Late last spring, the 31-year-old switch-hitter re-signed with the Padres for $1 million plus incentives. It was his third tour with the team as he opted out of his deal after the 2022 season in search of a long-term deal. He ultimately landed with the Colorado Rockies only to rejoin the Padres in August 2023 after he was released.

Free agent outfielder Jurickson Profar signed a three-year, $42 million contract with the Atlanta Braves on Thursday.
