Acuna is out for the season with an ACL. The very same season for which Inciarte was still signed. Yet Braves chose to eat millions of remaining dollars on his salary/buy out and cut him loose. No trade, just DFA.
It doesn’t suggest a very good player at this stage. Which is why the Reds sent him to the minors. If he was a “way better option” the Reds would have brought him immediately to the major leagues.
Unless someone has intensively followed the player this year and vouches for him, I’ll trust the Braves who cut him and the Reds who sent him to AAA. If he still has it, he can try to prove it there.
