The Braves have officially brought Vidal Brujan back into the organization.
Brujan has been assigned to Gwinnett.
He last played for ATL in 2025 before we was lost off waivers. He had 41 ABs for ATL that season.
Some good organization depth who can compete for a bench spot.
A big official welcome to the offseason, folks!
Today, I have another update to my Top-60 prospects. This iteration is players 30➡️21.
A few AAA players, more than a few U20 guys. Check it out and enjoy! ⤵️
