Why Braves could reportedly lose one reliable relief pitcher after 2024 season

The Atlanta Braves have been plagued all season by injuries, but they've managed to stay in the fight.

Despite losing stars Ronald Acuña Jr., Spencer Strider, Ozzie Albies, and Austin Riley for extended periods, the Braves maintain a slim 1/2-game lead on the rival New York Mets for the final National League playoff spot.

One key reason for their resilient success has been the bullpen. Anchored by Raisel Iglesias, who recently retired an incredible 38 batters in a row, the Braves have been locking down tight games late, allowing them to weather the storm of an inconsistent offense.
