The Dodgers will welcome a familiar face back to the Ravine tonight. Kenley Jansen spent a decade as their closer, locking down games and making a name for himself as one of the most dominant pitchers in the game. But this offseason, Kenley went out and signed a one-year deal with the Braves.
Despite that, there does not seem to be any bad blood between Kenley and the Dodgers. He has praised them many times since his departure, even noting that Andrew Friedman did tell him they wanted to bring him back. But time was not on Los Angeles’ side, and he ended up in Atlanta.
