"Iglesias remains one of the better relievers in MLB as he enters his age-36 season. The Cuban-born righty is coming off a 3.21 earned run average in 67 1/3 innings for the Braves. Iglesias went 29-34 in save chances, narrowly missing what would have been his sixth career 30-save campaign. Iglesias punched out an above-average 27.4% of opponents while limiting walks to a 6% clip. He got swinging strikes nearly 15% of the time while still getting opponents to frequently chase outside the strike zone."
"In aggregate, this year was Iglesias' worst since at least 2019. That's mostly attributable to an early-season home run spike. He gave up seven longballs before the end of May and carried a near-6.00 ERA into June. Once he got the home runs in check, Iglesias looked like his usually excellent self. He turned in a 1.96 ERA with a 29.3% strikeout percentage over the final four months. Opponents hit .163/.224/.219 with one homer in their last 174 plate appearances."
Raisel Iglesias enters free agency at age 36 after a 3.21 ERA across 67 1/3 innings with the Braves, finishing 29-for-34 in save chances. He posted a 27.4% strikeout rate, 6% walk rate and nearly 15% swinging-strike rate while inducing frequent chases outside the zone. An early-season home run spike produced his worst aggregate year since 2019, but he allowed one run in 23 2/3 post-deadline frames and registered a 1.96 ERA with a 29.3% K rate over the final four months. Toronto views him as a logical late-inning fit; his age likely limits deals to two years and eight-figure annual compensation.
