Raisel Iglesias has been a great player for the Atlanta Braves. However, the state of their current roster and his likely price tag could make a reunion tough.
Writer Eric Cole argues that an Atlanta Braves reunion with free-agent closer Raisel Iglesias should not be considered certain heading into the offseason. While Iglesias produced a solid 2.55 ERA across 59 appearances in 2026, Cole notes that his approaching age of 37 and declining strikeout rate present significant risks of regression.
Cole suggests the Braves should avoid committing major financial resources to Iglesias, especially after acquiring Robert Suarez as an heir apparent. The author concludes Atlanta should only re-sign Iglesias if he accepts a discounted salary and potentially a reduced bullpen role.
