"They kicked off their offseason by re-upping with closer Raisel Iglesias on a one-year deal ahead of his age-36 season. From there, they bolstered their bullpen further by bringing in veteran flamethrower Robert Suarez on a three-year deal. In addition to those moves, the offen has been tweaked in some significant ways. Mike Yastrzemski was brought in to shore up the team's outfield depth following Marcell Ozuna's departure in free agency."
"Coming off 76-86 season, it's understandable for Atlanta to be aggressive as they look to get back into contention and make the most of Ronald Acuna Jr.'s remaining years under club control. Bringing back Iglesias and adding Suarez to a bullpen that already had and Aaron Bummer in the late-inning mix is sure to give Atlanta one of the more intimidating bullpens in the league,"
The Braves re-signed closer Raisel Iglesias to a one-year deal and signed Robert Suarez to a three-year contract, significantly bolstering late-inning relief. Mike Yastrzemski joined to provide outfield depth after Marcell Ozuna departed, while Ha-Seong Kim re-signed to be the everyday shortstop in 2026 and Mauricio Dubon was added as a utility option. The bullpen now features Iglesias, Suarez and Aaron Bummer, creating one of the league's more intimidating late-inning groups. The offense gains depth and backup plans, contingent on better performances from Austin Riley, Michael Harris II and Ozzie Albies. The starting rotation remained the primary weakness despite its touted talent.
