Failed Raisel Iglesias pursuit officially kicks off Dodgers' search for new relievers

On Wednesday, the Braves re-signed closer Raisel Iglesias on a one-year, $16 million deal. Iglesias led the National League in games finished at 57, and even though he wasn't quite as dominant as he was in 2024 (3.21 ERA this season versus 1.95 in 2024), he's been one of the most consistent closers in baseball throughout his entire career, making it a no-brainer for the Braves to lock him up again.

Francys Romero reported following the signing that Iglesias had entertained offers from both the Dodgers and Blue Jays around the $16 million he ultimately got with the Braves, but he opted to stay in Atlanta.
