The Braves suddenly have a pretty full bullpen, with the addition of Tyler Kinley on a relatively cheap deal for the righty veteran who was quite good for the club after joining at the trade deadline. Veterans Raisel Iglesias, Robert Suarez, Tyler Kinley, Dylan Lee, and Aaron Bummer should be roster locks, with Joel Payamps and Dylan Dodd seemingly positioned well to make the roster, and then non-roster options like James Karinchak as well as in-house options like Reynaldo Lopez, Grant Holmes, or Bryce
Elder as potential options to fill out the bullpen. I would be surprised with any more major league signings in the bullpen at this point, barring an Aaron Bummer trade. Bringing back Kinley is a good move in my opinion and getting him a little cheaper than his option was is a savvy move from the front office.
