It is no real secret that the Braves are looking to bolster their bullpen. Jim Johnson did nothing to give the Braves confidence that he can hold down closer duties and a large majority of the bullpen can be classified as one or both of “inexperienced” and “not good”. There are some pieces that exciting to a degree, in particular AJ Minter who was excellent to start his MLB career, but for the most part the Braves are going to need some help this offseason in the relief corps.
It appears as though the Braves are definitely on the hunt this offseason for relief help and are even giving a good look to an old friend.
