Even after the Atlanta Braves re-signed closer Raisel Iglesias, their bullpen still looks very questionable. With Joe Jimenez and Aaron Bummer recovering from injuries, the only reliever certainties are Dylan Lee and Iglesias.
Because of this, the team not only needs to fill out their high-leverage needs, but their low-leverage spots as well. While the Braves still have room in their payroll for high-leverage relievers, they might need to be savvy filling in their middle- and low-leverage roles, and former failed prospect Sean Newcomb might be the perfect pitcher to fill that role.

It might be surprising to Braves fans who haven't followed along with Sean Newcomb's career arc since he was dealt to the Chicago Cubs for Braves legend Jesse Chavez in 2022, but the former top prospect is still pitching, and had a impressive 2025.
