The Atlanta Braves are heading into the 2025 season with a bullpen that can only be described as a high-stakes gamble. With the loss of key veterans like Joe Jiménez and A.J. Minter, the pressure is on for the remaining arms to step up. Raisel Iglesias is a reliable anchor, but who will emerge as the true setup man? Could Daysbel Hernández be the surprise hero we didn’t know we needed?
Hernández had a stellar 2024, boasting a 2.50 ERA and an impressive strikeout rate. His ability to perform in high-leverage situations raises an intriguing question: can he maintain that level of excellence over a full season? With the Braves' bullpen being labeled as volatile, do you think Hernández has what it takes to become a consistent force in the late innings?
Let’s not forget about Pierce Johnson, who started strong but faltered towards the end of last season. Is he capable of bouncing back, or is he a ticking time bomb waiting to implode again? And what about the lefties, Aaron Bummer and Dylan Lee? They’ve shown promise, but can they be trusted in crucial moments?
As we look ahead, what bold predictions do you have for the Braves' bullpen in 2025? Will they find a hidden gem in the likes of Anderson Pilar or Angel Perdomo? Or will the struggles continue, forcing the Braves to make a mid-season trade for a proven reliever?
