The Braves have acquired Joe Jiménez in a trade with the Tigers
. Atlanta sends a pair of minor leaguers, outfielder Justyn-Henry Malloy and pitcher Jake Higginbotham, to Detroit.
Jiménez, who turns 28 in January, has spent his entire career with the Tigers, making the All-Star team in 2018. Over 62 games last year, he went 3-2 with a 3.49 ERA. He’s made at least 50 appearances in each of the past four 162-game seasons, and he averages over 11 strikeouts per nine innings for his career. He is set to become a free agent following the ’23 season.
Jiménez has just 20 career saves, and he’s likely slated for a setup role in Atlanta, given the presence of Raisel Iglesias. Iglesias has primarily closed throughout his career and pitched in non-save situations behind Jansen after he was traded to the Braves from the Angels.
