Baseball Rumor News

The Atlanta Journal Constitution reports that the Braves have signed the infielder to a minor league contract. On February 27, Spiezio was released by the Cardinals due to some legal issues he was having stemming from a DUI incident.

“After talking to Scott this past weekend and meeting with him this afternoon, we feel he is sincere in his contrition and we are willing to give him a second chance,” Braves general manager Frank Wren said in a statement.

This guy is a mess, but everybody deserves a 2nd chance right? Spiezio has never been anything spectacular, more of a role player, but perhaps the Braves se something in him. He’s a little old for any real improvement though.
