The Atlanta Braves face a crucial offseason after Joe Jimenez's knee surgery, potentially sidelining him for the entire 2025 season, and losing AJ Minter to the Mets. With budget concerns influencing the decision to decline Travis D'Arnaud's option, the Braves find themselves in a precarious position without high-leverage relievers. As spring training begins, their strategy of signing multiple minor league relievers instead of securing proven talent raises concerns about their competitive standing, especially while trying to contend for a World Series title.
The Braves had lost their two best set-up men, one to injury and one to free agency, still no major bullpen addition has been made.
Despite the subtractions of Jimenez and Minter, the Braves have opted to sign minor league deals, rather than proving high-leverage additions.
