Braves Secure Joe Jiménez with Lucrative 3-Year Deal
The Atlanta Braves have signed right-handed relief pitcher Joe Jiménez to a three-year, $26 million deal. Jiménez, who spent his entire career with the Detroit Tigers before being traded to Atlanta in 2023, had an impressive season with a 3.04 ERA in 59 appearances. The Braves are committed to Jiménez, having traded prospects to acquire him last year. The contract is in line with recent deals for non-closer relievers, and it solidifies Atlanta's bullpen as they retain key pitchers for the upcoming season. Other teams in need of relief pitching will have one less option in the free agent market.
