Part 10/12:
Several high-profile free agents are available, including relievers like Kenley Jansen, Robert Suarez, Edwin Diaz, and others such as Devin Williams and Pete Fairbanks. The team’s historical tendency suggests they might avoid handcuffing themselves with a qualifying offer unless a player like Drake Baldwin, expected to be Rookie of the Year, earns one after his pending award.
If the Braves choose to pursue impactful additions, they are considering options for closer roles and middle-inning relievers, potentially targeting high-leverage relievers with multiple pitches. The bullpen’s future will likely be a mix of experienced veterans and versatile young arms, aligned with Jeremy Hefner’s pitching philosophy.
