It is wrong to say that the 32-year-old Alexi Ogando (3.94 ERA) was wrong for the Braves bullpen. He did tend to have “on” or “off” outings, though that’s the case for many relievers.
Since going 2 perfect innings against the Giants on June 2nd, those “off” outings have been a bit more common – 4 times yielding runs in 10 appearances, and in each case it was 2 or more.
But the Braves are on a youth movement quest, and in truth, allowing Ogando to depart at this time should allow him the opportunity to latch on to another major league club.
