"The Atlanta Braves have made regular usage of the outright waivers system as of late and this time, they've done a double dip in that particular pool in order to pick up a couple of pitchers. In one fell swoop, the Braves announced that they'd claimed both RHP Osvaldo Bido and RHP Anthony Molina off waivers from the Pirates and Rockies, respectively."
"Anyways, both of these hurlers are coming off of underwhelming seasons, as Bido finished 2025 with an ERA of 5.87 (139 ERA-) and a FIP of 6.07 (144 FIP-) over 79.2 while Molina also had a rough go of it with a 7.27 ERA (152 ERA-) and a FIP of 6.94 (158 FIP-). Molina, entering Age-24 in 2026, so I'd imagine that they'll probably keep him at Triple-A for the majority of the season."
"Meanwhile, the acquisition of Osvaldo Bido is a tiny bit intriguing. Bido isn't too far removed from a successful 2024 season for the A's where he tossed 63.1 innings and put up an ERA of 3.41 (88 ERA-) and a FIP of 3.36 (85 FIP-) with some very good-looking peripheral stats as well. The Braves will surely be hoping that Bido can return to something even close to approaching that form, as that would provide a pretty solid boost to the bullpen."
The Atlanta Braves claimed RHPs Osvaldo Bido and Anthony Molina off waivers from the Pirates and Rockies, respectively, and signed OF Ben Gamel to a minor-league deal. Both pitchers struggled in 2025, with Bido posting a 5.87 ERA and 6.07 FIP across 79.2 innings, and Molina recording a 7.27 ERA and 6.94 FIP. Molina, entering Age-24 in 2026, will likely spend most of the season in Triple-A with occasional bullpen call-ups. Bido showed much stronger peripherals in 2024 with the A's, producing a 3.41 ERA and 3.36 FIP in 63.1 innings, and could provide bullpen depth or spot starts.
