The Atlanta Braves are actively pursuing free-agent reliever Carlos Estévez, who recently had a standout season with the Los Angeles Angels and Philadelphia Phillies. Estévez, 32, recorded a 2.45 ERA and 50 strikeouts over 54 appearances, making him an attractive option for the Braves as they look to bolster their bullpen.

With Joe Jimenez recovering from knee surgery, Estévez could serve as a valuable right-handed option. His previous season's salary was $6.75 million, and estimates suggest his market value could reach $14 million annually over three years. This potential acquisition would also provide the Braves with a contingency plan for closer Raisel Iglesias, who will be a free agent after the next season.
