For anyone that watched the Atlanta Braves in 2025, it was clear that the bullpen was an area of deep concern. Sure, shortstop was the more obvious need and Atlanta was trumpeting their desire to add starting pitching, but the absence of Joe Jimenez was felt all year long and Raisel Iglesias' struggles were a harsh reminder that nothing is a given with any bullpen arm.
Thankfully, the Braves did the work to turn that roster weakness into a strength. They quickly went ahead and reunited with Iglesias before adding Robert Suarez who is among the best high leverage relievers in baseball at the moment.
