"Over parts of four seasons, Azocar is a career .244/.290/.319 hitter over 418 plate appearances. He's hit a pair of homers while stealing 19 bases in 28 attempts."
"Azocar is a plus runner who can handle all three outfield positions, yet his playing time has dropped in each of the past four seasons."
"As a light bat, his utility is more prominent defensively, having spent much of his time as a late-game substitute."
"Teams cannot send him to Triple-A without running him through waivers, giving him the option to refuse the assignment in favor of free agency."
José Azocar, an outfielder, has elected free agency following his outright by the Atlanta Braves. He was designated for assignment after a brief stint on the team's roster. Azocar, known for his speed and versatility in the outfield, has struggled offensively, posting a career batting average of .244 across four seasons. His playing time has diminished over recent years, and with no remaining options, he cannot be sent down to Triple-A without passing through waivers, giving him the choice to seek minor league offers or alternative teams.
