Braves consider reunion with former World Series champion Chris Martin to bolster bullpen

The Atlanta Braves are considering adding new players after a disappointing 2024 season. They may focus on affordable free agents rather than high-cost signings to improve their roster. One potential target is Chris Martin, a former Braves reliever who won the World Series with the team in 2021. Martin had a solid performance in previous seasons but experienced a slight decline in 2024. The Braves need to strengthen their bullpen, especially after Joe Jiménez's knee surgery, which will sideline him for 8-12 months. Martin, at 38, could be a valuable addition without requiring a long-term contract.
