The Atlanta Braves allowed veteran pitcher Charlie Morton to leave in free agency. But the possibility that the Braves bring back a different 40-plus-year-old hurler to help their pitching staff fill innings still exists.
The San Francisco Chronicle's Susan Slusser wrote on Jan. 20 that Jesse Chavez told her he intends to pitch during the 2025 season. Chavez turned 41 years old in August.
Chavez has become a fan favorite in Atlanta over the past two and a half seasons, which incredibly, was his fourth stint with the team. Chavez also had three shorter stints in Atlanta from 2010-22.
