After what had been a stellar tenure with the Atlanta Braves, 2025 has been a very challenging season for Raisel Iglesias. Iglesias was one of the better closers in baseball, but this season has seen his slider become almost throw-ably bad and his 5.09 ERA across 43 appearances has included some notable implosions including blowing a lead in the ninth on Saturday against the Ranger. Being that Atlanta is out of contention and this is the last year Iglesias is under contract, most expect him to get traded by the deadline.
There is no shortage whatsoever of playoff contenders that need bullpen help, but there has been precious little in the way of specific trade rumors around Iglesias beyond random mock trades with no intel attached.
