Up to this point in the offseason, the Atlanta Braves have already made a few notable moves to help improve their bullpen, one that was already among the best in baseball.
Not only will the Braves see the return of Tyler Matzek in 2024, but Atlanta has also added the likes of Aaron Bummer and Reynaldo Lopez to a group that brings back familiar faces such as Raisel Iglesias, A.J. Minter, Joe Jimenez, Pierce Johnson, and Dylan Lee.
An already loaded group, could the Braves potentially add to their bullpen before spring training is set to begin as well? Well, if they choose to do just that, here are three current free-agent relief pitchers that they should consider signing.
3 free agent relievers the Atlanta Braves should consider signing
RHP Jesse Chavez
We begin with an Atlanta Braves fan favorite in Chavez, who has spent time with the club each of the last three seasons, each of which he owned an ERA under 3.00. A veteran reliever who has pitched in some big moments with the organization recently, Chavez is coming off a 2023 season in which he owned a 1.56 ERA and 39:12 K:BB ratio across 34.2 IP, and would be an experienced & familiar option should the Braves need to add an arm to the bullpen.
