MLB insider confirms Braves connection to heated division rival's former star closer

While there is still hope of a reunion, the odds that Raisel Iglesias has already played his last game with the Atlanta Braves are growing by the day. Iglesias' strong end to the 2025 season after what can only be described as a nightmarish first half has made him a popular free agent target already. As each day goes by and Atlanta hasn't re-signed him, the more likely that one of his many suitors is able to steal him away.

If that happens, the Braves will obviously need a closer and there are not any obvious internal options to take Iglesias' place.
