Audacy.com MLB insider Jon Heyman joined Dukes & Bell to talk about what positions the Braves might try to improve at the deadline, and could they turn to an old friend for help out of the bullpen?
When asked about who might be available for our Braves at the trade deadline this year.
“If you’re in the market for bullpen help and I think the Braves probably will be, Kimbrel’s probably at the top of the list, would you bring him back” Heyman said. “He seems to have found what he lost, this year he’s performing exceptionally well to this point, he’s got an option for next year, team option. He’s probably at the top of the list in general for closers.”
“The closer market is good, you’ve got Ian Kennedy likely, Kendall Graveman, you’ve got Richard Rodriguez with Pittsburgh and potentially Raisel Iglesias with the Angels so you’ve got some very good closers.”
