Blake Treinen, Right-Handed Pitcher
2024 Stats: 6-3 record, 2.06 ERA, 51:10 K/BB ratio, 1 save across 43.2 IP
A veteran pitcher with extensive closing experience, Treinen would be an intriguing option coming off a bounce-back 2024 season, especially if the Braves were looking for a late-inning reliever.
The right-hander, who is a 10-year MLB veteran, did not pitch at the major league level a year ago due to an injury but has enjoyed a strong 2024 campaign with the Los Angeles Dodgers in which he owns a 2.11 ERA and 49:10 K/BB ratio across 42.2 IP. Treinen, who will be entering his age-37 season, is set to be one of the top set-up options available this offseason and should be a sought-after name this offseason among relievers after a strong tenure in Los Angeles.
Tommy Kahnle, Right-Handed Pitcher
2024 Stats: 0-1 record, 1.77 ERA, 43:18 K/BB ratio, 1 save across 40.2 IP
A veteran reliever who is in the midst of one of his best single-seasons as a member of the New York Yankees, could the Braves potentially give Kahnle a look this offseason?
Kahnle, a 34-year-old, is currently enjoying one of the best seasons of his career in which he owns a 1.77 ERA and 43:18 K/BB ratio across 40.2 IP. The right-hander would likely play a middle-inning role for the Braves, while also bringing postseason experience.
Chris Martin, Right-Handed Pitcher
2024 Stats: 2-1 record, 3.48 ERA, 48:2 K/BB ratio, 2 saves across 41.1 IP
Yet another name who is familiar to Braves' fans, could Martin potentially return to Atlanta in 2025?
A member of the Braves bullpen from 2019-21, Martin has spent both of the past two seasons with the Boston Red Sox in which he held a 1.05 ERA in 2023, as well as a 3.48 ERA and 48:2 K/BB ratio across 41.1 IP this season. The veteran right-hander has proven experience and would be a reliable middle-inning option who does not walk many batters.
Nick Martinez, Right-Handed Pitcher
2024 Stats: 10-6 record, 3.22 ERA, 113:18 K/BB ratio across 134.1 IP
Lastly, if the Braves were to potentially add a multi-inning option who has proven starting experience this offseason, Martinez might just be the top option.
A veteran right-hander, Martinez has enjoyed a strong 2024 season with the Cincinnati Reds in which he owns a 3.22 ERA and 113:18 K/BB ratio across 41 appearances, 15 of which have been starts. No, he would not be a starter in Atlanta, but would still be an intriguing bullpen option who could start a game if needed.
