| 1/03/25 | Braves primed to lure $65 million reliever to the East Coast. The Atlanta Braves have the aging but still superb Raisel Iglesias as their primary fireman but appear to be in the mix to sign one of the top bullpen arms still available this winter. David O'Brien of the Athletic notes that the Braves are a team that "lost two top setup men and hasn't spent any big money yet this winter, a team that has a serious high-leverage lefty need in its bullpen." O'Brien makes that reference with an eye on reliever Tanner Scott, who was traded from the Miami Marlins to the San Diego Padres last season and currently awaits on the free-agent market.

| 12/31/24 | Braves predicted to acquire $64 million All-Star in free agency blockbuster. Are the Atlanta Braves simply lying in waiting to make their big move? No team can ever have enough bullpen help, and the Braves quietly had a rough season in close games last year. Apart from closer Raisel Iglesias, who had a spectacular 34-save season, most of the Braves' high-leverage arms struggled in one-run and tied games. Tanner Scott, the 2024 All-Star closer, would be an ideal fit for the Braves--and any team looking for bullpen help. Source: https://www.sportingnews.com/us/mlb/atlanta-braves... |
| 11/22/24 | Braves predicted to target $8.4M two-time All-Star in surprise blockbuster trade. The Atlanta Braves would be wise to be opportunistic this winter. It's not that the Braves have a bad roster by any means--on the contrary, their roster is one of the best in Major League Baseball at full strength. One place the Braves could sneakily look to upgrade is the bullpen, which was anchored by a dominant closer in Raisel Iglesias this season, but was only 40 of 62 in total save opportunities. Acquiring another elite back-end reliever could make the Braves much more efficient in close games next season. Source: https://www.sportingnews.com/us/mlb/atlanta-braves... |

| 7/10/23 | Carlos Estevez has been everything the Angels could've hoped for. Last season at the trade deadline the Los Angeles Angels decided to move on from Raisel Iglesias, effectively waving the white flag on another disappointing season without a playoff appearance. This allowed the Angels to get rid of his remaining contract of 3 years and $16 million per, and gain some flexibility for the team. This off-season Carlos Estevez was signed on for a two-year deal worth $6.75 million annually to come to Anaheim. Coming off a solid season for the Colorado Rockies logging 62 games with a 3.47 ERA, Phil Nevin decided to try him out for the closer role, and it has worked amazingly.
