Braves Sign Twins Outfielder to Minor League Contract

The Atlanta Braves continue to stockpile their options for the outfield as the offseason goes on. According to his MLB.com profile page, they have signed DaShawn Keirsey to a minor league contract.

Keirsey brings some MLB experience to the table. In 80 career games, he batted .149 with a .355 OPS, three home runs and seven RBIs. However, the stat that stands out the most are his 10 stolen bases on 13 attempts. All of them came during the 2025 season.

Like Hicklen, he's swiped a lot of bags in the minor leagues. He has 142 in them in them minotes, featuring thee seasons of 36 stolen bases or more. His career high was 42 stolen bases split between Double-A and Triple-A back in 2023.

The Braves will have a chance to try all of these options out and make a decision for the final roster during Spring Training. Even those who don't make the majors help add depth to the system, which needed the boost.
