The Braves bullpen might look very different by 2025. To put it simply, the Atlanta Braves bullpen might look very different in 2025 than it did in 2024.
With free agency approaching, the Braves will face numerous decisions this offseason throughout the whole roster, with a handful in particular affecting the bullpen. In fact, here are all of the pitchers who have seen meaningful action in the Braves’ bullpen this season, as well as whether they are expected to return to Atlanta in 2025 or leave for free agency.
Free agents: LHP A.J. Minter, RHP Jesse Chavez.
Set to return: RHP Raisel Iglesias (Signed through 2025), RHP Joe Jimenez (Signed through 2026), RHP Pierce Johnson (Signed through 2025/2026 Option), LHP Dylan Lee (Under Control until 2028).
Decisions to be made: LHP Aaron Bummer (Team Option), RHP Luke Jackson (Team Option), RHP John Brebbia (Team Option), LHP Tyler Matzek
In general, the Braves have two notable free agents in Minter and Chavez, as well as other selections to make based on team options such as Bummer and Jackson. Others, like as Iglesias and Jimenez, will return, unless someone in the “set to return” category is traded during the offseason.
So, could the Braves possibly add anyone to that bunch this offseason?
If so, who? Atlanta Braves should chase free-agent relief pitchers this offseason.
Based on the Braves’ potential needs, there is reason to believe that Atlanta will look at a few free agents this winter. With that in mind, here are some bullpen pitchers the Atlanta Braves should look for in free agency this summer, as well as the potential roles they could play with the team in 2025.
