The Braves don’t have many players set to test free agency, with only three expected to hit the open market — all of whom have a legitimate case to be brought back.
The Baltimore Orioles were dealt a brutal blow when news broke earlier this year that closer Félix Bautista might miss the entire 2026 season after needing to undergo labrum and rotator cuff surgery.
There have been just 19 walk-off home runs in the history of the World Series. How many of the players to hit one can you name in five minutes?
The Braves have several holes to address this offseason, and one of the most pressing is finding a new closer. Raisel Iglesias is set to hit free agency,
Among the countless Hall of Famers who never experienced the joy of winning a World Series, there are several notable legends who stand out. Here's our list of the 25 greatest.
The Atlanta Braves only have two players guaranteed to hit free agency once the World Series concludes, but according to Mark Bowman, shortstop Ha-Seong Kim is expected to opt out of his $16 million player option for 2026.
With the official start of the offseason approaching, so will some reality checks. Closer Raisel Iglesias will be a free agent this winter. The Atlanta Braves would be wise to re-sign him after his midseason resurgence, but there are no guarantees.
The Braves have begun offseason roster housekeeping. Atlanta announced they’ve outrighted five players.
Braves GM Alex Anthopoulos met with the media yesterday and discussed a number of topics. Most notably, he announced Sean Murphy will miss the remainder of the season.
The Atlanta Braves don’t have a ton of players set to hit free agency this upcoming offseason, with the most notable being Marcell Ozuna and Raisel Iglesias.
America's favorite pastime has more memorable performances than any sport. As such, figuring out which pitchers had the best seasons ever is no easy task.
The Braves shocked the world at the MLB trade deadline when they essentially decided to stand pat. It was met with widespread criticism, which was deserved.
There’s a reality that needs to be addressed. Ever since Atlanta Braves manager Brian Snitker temporarily moved Raisel Iglesias from the closer role, he’s been pitching well. Fans might want to admit it, but since June 9, he has a 1.90 ERA and 28 strikeouts across 23 2/3 innings pitched.
The Atlanta Braves have disappointed fans and analysts for the entire 2025 MLB season. Fittingly, the MLB trade deadline on July 31 was no different. The Braves elected to keep players on expiring contracts such as designated hitter Marcell Ozuna and closer Raisel Iglesias.
The quantity and pace of the deals left many MLB fans feeling a rush of excitement. However, now that the dust has settled, several key questions remain.
The Chicago Cubs may be looking to strengthen their bullpen for their playoff push. Rumors suggest the Cubs are eyeing veteran closer Raisel Iglesias from the Atlanta Braves in exchange for two prospects, right-handed pitcher Ryan Gallagher and shortstop Angel Cepeda.
Boasting a 62-44 record in the NL Central, the Chicago Cubs are still searching for a way to pull ahead of the Milwaukee Brewers.
Despite signing David Robertson for the remainder of the season, the Philadelphia Phillies are still searching for bullpen upgrades ahead of the MLB trade deadline.
Much like this off-season, the Chicago Cubs are exploring all opportunities to improve their pitching staff, both in the starting rotation and the bullpen.
Among the players the Braves are looking to trade ahead of the deadline, Raisel Iglesias is at the top of the list. One of the top closers in baseball just last year, Iglesias is amid a career-worst season, boasting a 4-6 record with an unsightly 5.09 ERA.
The Cubs are known to be looking far and wide for pitching upgrades at the deadline, with both long-term and short-term arms on the team’s radar.
The Toronto Blue Jays need another reliever. Injuries to trusted setup man Yimi García, Paxton Schultz, Nick Sandlin, and Ryan Burr have put more stress on the rest of the bullpen, heightening the urgency for general manager Ross Atkins to strike and fortify the group.
It turns out the Atlanta Braves never truly recovered from their pitiful 0-7 start to the 2025 season.
The Braves are making some changes in the ninth inning, as manager Brian Snitker told reporters (including MLB.com’s Mark Bowman) on Friday.
Raisel Iglesias may not grab headlines like some of MLB’s flashier closers, but his consistency and dominance have quietly placed him among the league’s elite.
The Braves are currently in a wild-card playoff spot, and closer Raisel Iglesias's incredible form has contributed to that positioning.
The Atlanta Braves were denied history on Saturday.
Despite being plagued by injuries at the start of the season, the Atlanta Braves have started out 17-9 and sit atop the NL East standings. Atlanta activated star centerfielder Michael Harris II from the injured list on Friday morning, and more players look to be on their way back.
