Overview
- MLB.com and ESPN report that the agreement includes a non-roster invitation to big-league camp, with team confirmation still pending.
- Kelenic elected free agency in October after Atlanta removed him from the 40-man roster and outrighted him to Triple-A Gwinnett.
- He hit .167 with a .531 OPS in 24 games for the Braves in 2025 and posted a .213/.286/.309 line over 95 games at Triple-A.
- Across parts of five MLB seasons, he owns a .211/.282/.376 slash line with about a 30% strikeout rate after entering pro ball as the Mets’ No. 6 pick and a centerpiece in the 2018 Mariners–Mets trade for Edwin Díaz and Robinson Canó.
- He could compete for right field alongside Brooks Baldwin, with Andrew Benintendi and Luis Robert Jr. leading left and center, and any trade of incumbents would likely expand his opportunity.
