Jacob Wallace came to the Kansas City Royals in a trade three offseasons ago, and despite striking out a lot of batters in the upper levels of the minors, he never got a shot at the big leagues.
Wallace, 27, was acquired in the December, 2022 trade that sent fellow right-handed pitcher Wyatt Mills to the Boston Red Sox. In a way, the trade worked out evenly, because Mills never wound up making it to the big leagues in a Red Sox uniform.
After electing free agency earlier this month, Wallace found a new opportunity on Tuesday, as he signed a minor-league deal with the Atlanta Braves, per the transactions log on his official roster page.
