Puig joins outfielders Ender Inciarte, Marcell Ozuna and Ronald Acuña Jr. in Atlanta, which shapes to be a rather strong group.

Puig is entering his eighth season in the majors and was an All-Star in 2014. Across seven seasons and three teams, Puig has a .277/.348/.475 slash line with 132 home runs and 415 RBI, which is good for an .823 career OPS.
