The Braves’ late pickup of Pablo Sandoval came as a surprise to many, but the organization clearly sees something in the former Giants star. Despite a dismal .214/.287/.262 slash on the year, including four hitless plate appearances with Atlanta (two walks), the Panda makes the Wild Card roster as a bench piece.
IDK. Maybe they think Pablo has some sort of uncanny ability to hit in the postseason? Maybe just a "glue guy" who has WS experience?
