Jesse Chavez
Jesse Chavez is in a similar spot as Charlie Morton as he's 40 years old and still pitching fairly well. However, unlike Morton, Jesse announced he would probably retire from baseball at the end of 2024. It's been a long journey for Chavez as he's played with every team you could imagine.
There's just something about Atlanta for Jesse. Whenever he puts that Braves uniform on, he turns into one of the best relievers in Major League Baseball. It's going to be hard not seeing him wear that uniform next season.
Adam Duvall
It hasn't always been fun watching Duvall play with the Braves as he's struggled during his stints with Atlanta. However, he's a good dude and has provided plenty of exciting moments for fans to remember. 2024 isn't one of those moments fans will remember as it's been rough for Duvall with his .182 batting average.
He would be a good option for Atlanta to consider platooning with Jarred Kelenic again next season. The only issue is there is another option available that may work more in the Braves' favor. But it's easy to say that Atlanta could consider bringing Adam back at any point if they need to.
Ramón Laureano
Atlanta has been lucky to receive incredible production from Ramón Laureano this season. He started the year with the Guardians but was designated for assignment on May 20 after a poor start. The Braves signed him to a minor league deal after losing Ronald Acuña Jr. to his season-ending knee injury. He played extremely well for the Gwinnett Stripers, batting .362 over 14 games. He had 21 hits including three homers and 12 RBI.

This impressed Atlanta enough to call him up on June 15 and he performed pretty well with a .257 average through his first 11 games. However, he landed on the 10-day IL due to an oblique injury after his 11th game. He returned on July 21 and has been one of Atlanta's best offensive producers. Since his return from the IL, Laureano has batted .311 with eight doubles, eight homers, and 23 RBI. There is plenty of incentive to bring him back next season to man the outfield.
Technically Laureano should be a free agent next season but there is conflicting information online. Spotrac states he is a free agent next season but Baseball Reference states he is arbitration-eligible and a free agent in 2026. Either way, the Braves are going to want to bring him back.
