Ken Giles, a veteran relief pitcher, is attracting interest from several clubs for a potential minor league deal. His notable 2019 season with the Toronto Blue Jays showcased his talent, but his recent performance with the Atlanta Braves organization has been less impressive.

In 2024, Giles struggled at Triple-A Gwinnett, posting a 6.28 ERA. Despite his challenges, the Braves have been actively acquiring depth options this offseason, indicating they have alternatives if they choose not to re-sign him.

The Atlanta Braves have bolstered their pitching roster by signing right-handed pitcher Jordan Weems to a minor league contract. He is set to participate in major league camp as a non-roster invitee for spring training, aiming for a return to the big leagues.

Weems, who previously played for the Washington Nationals, recorded a 5.03 ERA over 136 innings in his last three seasons. His fastball averages 96.4 mph, complemented by a slider, with occasional use of a splitter and curveball.

The Braves are actively enhancing their pitching depth, having also selected Anderson Pilar in the Rule 5 Draft and signing multiple other pitchers to minor league deals.

The Atlanta Braves have announced their non-tender candidates, opting not to offer contracts to several players who will enter free agency. Among those released are pitchers Griffin Canning, Ray Kerr, Royber Salinas, Huascar Ynoa, and outfielder Ramón Laureano.

Canning, acquired just weeks ago, was deemed not suitable for the rotation after a disappointing season. Laureano, despite a strong performance, was let go as the Braves prioritize their budget for the offseason.
