What’s Next: With Robert Suarez Off the Board to Braves, Closer Market Is Getting Thin

Braves exercise options on Sale and Albies, turn down Johnson and Kinley

The Atlanta Braves exercised options on left-hander Chris Sale and second baseman Ozzie Albies on Thursday while declining options on pitchers Pierce Johnson and Tyler Kinley

NOVEMBER 6, 2025 • Associated Press

Free agent after option declined Atlanta declined Kinley's $5.5 million option for 2026 on Thursday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

Impact The decision comes as a bit of a surprise, as Kinley pitched well for Atlanta after being acquired at the trade deadline, posting a 0.72 ERA, 0.68 WHIP and 22:6 K:BB over 25 innings. It's possible Atlanta will look to bring back Kinley at a lesser rate, but the veteran reliever is now free to negotiate with all teams.

Eli White's 2 HRs Help Braves Beat Reds in MLB Speedway Classic at Bristol

Bumpy Atlanta debut Kinley gave up two hits and a walk in a scoreless seventh inning during Thursday's extra-inning win over the Reds. He struck out one.

Impact Making his debut for Atlanta after being acquired from Colorado on Wednesday, Kinley was brought in with the game tied 3-3 and nearly made a mess of things, loading the bases with one out before getting Spencer Steer to pop out and fanning Jake Fraley. With closer Raisel Iglesias surprisingly still on the roster after the trade deadline, Kinley will be on the fringes of high-leverage work for his new club while Pierce Johnson and Dylan Lee continue to handle setup duties.

Dealt to Atlanta Atlanta acquired Kinley from the Rockies on Wednesday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

Impact Atlanta is expected to predominately be a seller at this year's deadline, but Kinley has a fairly reasonable $5 million club option for 2026. The 34-year-old holds a 5.66 ERA this season, but he's struck out 51 over 47.2 innings and could find more effectiveness away from Coors Field. Kinley could potentially be in the mix for saves in Atlanta, depending on what else the club does at the deadline.

Secures save Sunday Kinley earned the save in Sunday's 4-3 extra-innings win against the Brewers, pitching a clean inning with two strikeouts.

Impact After Kyle Farmer knocked home the automatic runner in the top of the 11th, Kinley succinctly wrapped the game with 12 pitches, nine of which were strikes, in the bottom of the frame. The 34-year-old was able to notch his first save since June 6 against the Mets thanks to Seth Halvorsen, the usual Colorado closer, pitching a scoreless ninth to force extras. Kinley now sports a 6.75 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 35:24 K:BB across 36 total innings.
