The Braves have bolstered their roster with the re-signing of closer Raisel Iglesias and the addition of utility player Mauricio Dubón, addressing bullpen and shortstop needs. However, they still face challenges in starting pitching, the bullpen, and shortstop. Chris Sale, Spencer Strider, and Spencer Schwellenbach are secure in the rotation, but question marks remain with Grant Holmess health and competition for remaining spots. The Braves are considering adding a proven starter via free agents like Ranger Suárez or Zac Gallen, but this may require sacrificing a draft pick.

The Atlanta Braves acquired infielder Ha-Seong Kim from the Tampa Bay Rays, aiming to bolster their offense at shortstop. Kims 2025 season was a mix of positives and negatives, with improved offensive numbers in Atlanta and a standout three-run homer. However, he also dealt with injuries, leading to a decline in defensive metrics and a decision to become a free agent. The Braves may pursue him, given the limited options in the shortstop market.

Dylan Dodds Journey: From Starter to Reliever - Dylan Dodd, a pitcher for the Atlanta Braves, was drafted in 2021 and quickly moved through the minor leagues. Initially seen as a starter, his performance in 2023 and 2024 didnt meet expectations. However, a shift to the bullpen in 2025 led to a surprising turnaround, with a significant increase in strikeouts and a notable drop in his ERA. Now, at 28, Dodd is viewed as a potential cheap left-handed reliever for the Braves, with his recent performance suggesting he could be a valuable asset in the bullpen.

Ian Mejia, a 25-year-old right-handed pitcher, began the 2025 season in Double-A, posting a 2.62 ERA and 106 strikeouts in 127.1 innings. His success was due to his ability to pitch to contact and improved command. However, his strikeout rate dropped, which could hinder his potential as a number five starter. He may need to find ways to miss more bats or consider a relief role.

The Atlanta Braves, once unexpected contenders, have experienced a rollercoaster of seasons, from a remarkable turnaround in 2018 to a disappointing 2025. Despite still being projected among the top teams in 2026, the teams challenge lies in utilizing its existing talent better, especially after unforced errors in the previous year. To return to their winning ways, the Braves must make smart roster moves and improve strategic decision-making, avoiding another injury-plagued season.

The New York Mets and Texas Rangers made a notable trade, swapping Marcus Semien and Brandon Nimmo. Semien, a 35-year-old infielder, has had a strong career but saw a slight dip in performance last season. Nimmo, a 33-year-old outfielder, has been a consistent offensive threat but recently transitioned to left field. Analysts are evaluating the trades impact, as both players are expected to continue contributing, though perhaps not at peak levels. The trade underscores teams focus on immediate roster adjustments and player fit over long-term prospect development.

The Braves gamble on Sale has paid off handsomely, making him a cornerstone of their rotation and a valuable clubhouse presence.

Sean Newcomb, a former Braves pitcher, is reportedly attracting free-agent interest, with teams considering him for both starting and relief roles. After spending most of his career in the bullpen, Newcomb could potentially return to starting, given his past experience and ability to pitch multiple innings. His strong performance with the Athletics last season, posting a 1.75 ERA in 36 appearances, is likely boosting his stock. Newcomb was with the Braves from 2017 to 2022, making 144 games, including 57 starts, and earning a World Series ring. He is expected to sign a one-year deal, but a two-year contract is not ruled out.
