## Key points

- Profar faces an uncertain future with Atlanta after his second PED ban.
- A $15 million option makes the 2027 decision significant for the Braves.
- The team plans to assess its roster over the winter.

## Summary

The Atlanta Braves appear unlikely to retain outfielder Jurickson Profar for 2027, after he received a season-long ban for a second performance-enhancing drug violation and reportedly lost contact with teammates. The decision matters because his contract includes a $15 million option for next season, while the Braves weigh their roster needs and his reported conduct.

Profar, 33, signed a three-year, $42 million deal after a career year with San Diego in 2024, but suspensions limited him to 80 games for Atlanta in 2025 and none in 2026. He posted a .787 on-base-plus-slugging percentage in those 80 games. General manager Alex Anthopoulos said the club will assess its roster over the winter before deciding; a trade may be difficult given Profar’s salary and circumstances.
