The first bigger free agent relief pitcher is officially off the board with the news of Rasiel Iglesias agreeing to return to the Atlanta Braves for the 2026 season.
On Wednesday, the 35-year-old signed a one-year deal worth $16 million to continue his journey as the late-inning arm for Atlanta, a role his held since being traded to the Braves from the Los Angeles Angels in the middle of the 2022 season.
With over 253 career saves, Iglesias has been one of the most effective closers in Major League Baseball over the last five years.
