The Braves find themselves with an embarrassment of riches in their bullpen. While the Night Shift already had postseason heroes AJ Minter, Tyler Matzek, and Will Smith in the fold, Atlanta has continued to heavily invest in their relief corps with the additions of Collin McHugh and Kenley Jensen. As things stand right now, the Braves may have the best bullpen, on paper anyways, in the entire league and that is not even factoring in Kirby Yates who could return late in the season.
However, that does mean that roster spots got sparse in a hurry and the Braves made a move to trim their roster that, at least at first, is going to raise some eyebrows.
