#2 Most Disliked Atlanta Braves Player – Hector Olivera
Unlike most of the other players on this list, Hector Olivera‘s reasoning for being here doesn’t have anything to do with anything on the field. After defecting from Cuba in 2014, Olivera signed a six-year $62.5 million deal with the LA Dodgers. He ended up being dealt to the Braves later in the year and had a lot of fans excited about the potential that he brought with him to be a high-level major leaguer.
Unfortunately we never got the chance to see if Olivera could live up to the hype. In April 2016 Olivera was arrested in Virginia and later found guilty of misdemeanor domestic assault leaving the victim battered and bruised. Major League Baseball suspended Olivera 82 games and he wouldn’t make another appearance with the Braves or any another Major League team.
