Braves Secure Iglesias Deal
20 Nov
Summary
- Raisel Iglesias returns to the Braves on a one-year deal.
- Atlanta outbid the Blue Jays and Dodgers for the closer.
- Iglesias was named Reliever of the Month in August.
The Atlanta Braves have officially secured their top closer target, Raisel Iglesias, bringing him back on a one-year agreement. This decision follows Iglesias's strong performance in the latter part of the season, where he was recognized as Reliever of the Month for August. His return provides Atlanta with a reliable arm at the back of the bullpen.
The Braves' acquisition of Iglesias comes after they successfully outbid two other prominent clubs, the Toronto Blue Jays and the Los Angeles Dodgers. Both teams were reportedly willing to offer Iglesias similar contract terms, making Atlanta's successful pursuit a notable victory in the competitive free agency market.
This signing marks a significant move for the Braves in what is anticipated to be a busy offseason. By securing Iglesias, the team strengthens its roster and demonstrates its intent to contend, having bested strong competition for a key player.
