Andy Bunker and Randy McMichael reacted to the Atlanta Braves signing longtime Los Angeles Dodger Closer Kenley Jansen to a one year sixteen-million dollar contract. The addition of Jansen strengthens an already stout Braves bullpen (more on this below).
Andy & Randy played an audio clip of Jansen talking about his unique connection to the Braves and how he is looking forward to joining the defending World Series Champions during their “What’s Trending” segment on Monday’s show. Take listen:
Jansen joins a Braves bullpen that put the team on their back throughout the playoffs last season as Atlanta won their first World Series title since 1995. Jansen joins the following relief pitchers as part of “The Night Shift” for the upcoming 2022 season: Will Smith, Tyler Matzek, A.J.
Minter and Luke Jackson.
Jansen joins recently signed veteran Collin McHugh as new additions to the Braves bullpen this year. With these moves do the Braves now have the best bullpen in Major League Baseball?
