Looking At Haase

Following Cleveland, Haase played part of four years for the Tigers.

In 2021, he hit 22 home runs in just 98 games.

Before the Giants, Haase had a quick return to the Guardians (and a two-year stint with the Milwaukee Brewers).

Heading into the MLB playoffs, he is good catcher depth for the Braves to have in their organization.
