Braves and Rockies accepted an agreement sending a right -hander lift Tyler Kinley From Colorado to Atlanta, reports Mark Feinsand from MLB.com. Braves refer a prospect to the Rockies for Kinley, who earns $ 3 million during the last year of his contract, but has a club option of $ 5 million for the 2026 season.
Kinley, 34, has an unattractive 5.66 MPM in the season, but fueled 23.8% of his opponents this season. Metrics like FIP (4.14) and Siera (4.15) believe that it was much better than this deserved average race should indicate. It has been an excellent race in recent times, ranging to an MPM of 2.37 with a withdrawal rate of 31.1% and a walking rate of 6.7% in 19 rounds since mid-June.
The overall Kinley walking rate of 12.6% this season is a horror, but it was also in the grip of a 59.4% component rate which is very shy from its 68% career brand and the 72% league average. The right -hander of 6’4 ″ is 95.2 MPH on its radiator and has a tremendous striking rate of 14%, which could give Atlanta a certain optimism that Kinley’s withdrawal rate has room to improve. He is also one of the league leaders in terms of hard contact limitation.
It is a surprise to see the brave adding a veteran player, given the team’s 45-61 record in an increasingly divided direct season. Kinley deepens the current relief body and brings a hint of increase which, if he was unlocked, would make him an option of good deal for next season. Its club ’26 option has a buyback of $ 750,000, so Atlanta will make a net decision of $ 4.25 million during the offseason after Kinley had a 2025 hearing.
In this sense, the Braves – who fully intend to compete in 2026 – obtain a proactive departure on certain off -season purchases. Brave Relakes Raisel Iglesias And Rafael Montero are free agents at the end of the season. Pierce Johnson is also in the last guaranteed season of his agreement, although like Kinley, he has a 2026 club option. Each of the Iglesias, Montero and Johnson have been a reported sales candidate, while Atlanta reluctantly conceded on veterans in the short term on this year’s deadline.
More to come.
