As the Winter Meetings were coming to a close on Wednesday, Alex Anthopoulos, Brian Snitker and other members of the Braves front office and coaching staff were preparing to leave San Diego without making a move. While the Braves being quiet at the Winter Meetings is not unprecedented under Anthopoulos, it was a bit surprising with the amount of activity that had occurred around baseball.
However, as Anthopoulos mentioned on Wednesday afternoon, the Braves time in San Diego had been productive, with progress being on potential moves. One of the moves became official on Wednesday evening:
Mere hours after seeing their closer in 2022, Kenley Jansen, sign with the Boston Red Sox, the Braves acquired Joe Jimenez from the Detroit Tigers.
