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.
