Pederson has been one of the more visible Braves players since the series ended Nov. 2.

This past weekend, he and the Braves mascot Blooper were honored at the University of Georgia game vs. Missouri in front of a packed house at Sanford Stadium.

The 29-year old outfielder recently declined his mutual contract option with the Braves, taking a $2.5 million buyout. That doesn’t mean he can’t resign with the Braves, but it does make him a free agent available to take the best deal for him.

He’s been somewhat of a good luck charm since he’s been a part of the past two World Series winners. In seven major league seasons, the left-handed hitting Pederson has hit for a .232 average with 148 home runs and 364 RBI while playing all three outfield positions.
