The Atlanta Braves are reported to have a free-agent reliever on their radar. According to the New York Post\u2019s Jon Heyman, the Braves are showing interest in right-handed pitcher Carlos Est\u00e9vez.<\/p>\n

The Braves are showing interest in free agent RHP Carlos Estevez, per @JonHeyman. Angels also showing interest, Heyman also added.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Stripers Report (@StripersReport) January 1, 2025<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n

The 32-year-old pitcher had a career year split between the Los Angeles Angels and Philadelphia Phillies. He made 54 appearances and finished with a 2.45 ERA, a 0.90 WHIP and 50 strikeouts in 55 innings pitched.<\/p>\n

Along with the Braves, the Angels are reported to be showing interest in bringing him back.<\/p>\n

This addition would provide the Braves with a nice right-handed fill-in while Joe Jimenez recovers from knee surgery.<\/p>\n

No information on what a deal might look like has been reported yet. Last season, Est\u00e9vez made $6.75 million, according to Spotrac. They pin his market value at $14 million a year for three years.<\/p>\n

So, that will give us some kind of idea of what a deal could look like. It\u2019s certainly a possibility.<\/p>\n

Here would be a pro to a deal like this. Closer Raisel Iglesias will be a free agent after next season and they would have another guy ready to go if he walks at a similar contract value in this scenario.<\/p>\n

However, it is a steep price tag for a pitcher who only has a one-season track record of reliability. Heading into the 2024 season, he had a career 4.47 ERA. Though, in his defense, he was a member of the Colorado Rockies for almost that entire time.<\/p>\n

The moment he wasn\u2019t pitching a good bulk of his games at Coors Field, we\u2019ve seen improvement.<\/p>\n

At the right price, this could be a good acquisition for the Braves.<\/p>\n

Along with Est\u00e9vez, there have been reports that the team is interested in left-handed pitcher Tanner Scott. Not sure if the Braves can both at their projected price tags, but getting at least one of them would put their bullpen in a good spot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
