Now that the Braves have Dallas Keuchel in the fold, it’s time to start plugging other holes.
There’s not much question that the Braves’ bullpen has been the team’s Achilles’ heel to this point in the season. While Alex Anthopoulos sat back and watched the free agent reliever landscape unfold without getting involved in the offseason (or in-season if you count Craig Kimbrel), he has not been shy about making small moves to tinker with the pen. Between minor trades to acquire Jerry Blevins and Anthony Swarzak, as well as a plethora of relievers who have gone back and forth on the Gwinnett Shuttle, the Braves bullpen has seen no less than 19 different relievers toe the mound.
