Veteran closer Kenley Jansen is leaving the Los Angeles Dodgers after 12 seasons.
The Atlanta Braves announced they signed him to a one-year, $16 million deal Friday.
The right-hander is no longer the lights-out presence on the mound he was during his prime, yet he remains one of MLB's better relievers. His 1.8 WAR was tied for 11th on FanGraphs among relief pitchers in 2021.
Jansen made 69 appearances for the Los Angeles Dodgers, recording 38 saves, a 2.22 ERA and a 3.08 FIP. He averaged 11.22 strikeouts per nine innings.
