Barnes, 36, has spent his entire big league career with the Dodgers thus far. Over parts of 11 seasons, he consistently graded out as a strong defender behind the plate. His offense was never his carrying tool but was generally passable for a long time. From 2015 to 2022, in 1,357 plate appearances, he hit 32 home runs and drew walks at a strong 12.1% clip. His .225/.333/.358 slash in that span led to a 93 wRC+.

Over a 16-year career with nine different teams he spent the majority of his time with the Atlanta Braves, Boston Red Sox, and Chicago Cubs Kimbrel ranks fifth on the all-time saves list with 440 to go with a 2.58 ERA. Last season with the Braves and Houston Astros, the 37-year-old southpaw posted a 2.25 ERA across 14 appearances, which at least suggests that he still has some quality frames left in the tank.
