⚾ OFFSEASON SHAKE-UP IN ATLANTA: The Braves have officially declined club options on relievers Tyler Kinley and Pierce Johnson, marking the start of what could be a major bullpen overhaul this winter. The moves free up nearly $12 million in payroll space, giving Atlanta flexibility to chase new arms or reallocate funds toward rotation depth. For fans, it’s a bittersweet decision — two veterans who helped steady the pen at times now hit free agency, as the Braves look to reshape their pitching identity for 2026.
The Atlanta Braves on Thursday declined club options on two right-handed relivers, according to reports.
