Braves re-sign Raisel Iglesias to $16M contract, acquire Mauricio Dubon in busy night
NY Post
One Mets rival had a busy Wednesday night.
The Braves signed closer Raisel Iglesias to a one-year, $16 million contract, and one hour later, acquired utilityman Mauricio Dubon in a trade with the Astros, the team announced.
Atlanta sent infielder Nick Allen to Houston to complete the swap.
Iglesias, 35, had spent the last three and a half seasons in Atlanta and provided the Braves with consistency back-end relief pitching.
The right-hander has a 2.35 ERA and 0.94 WHIP with 239 strikeouts and 97 saves across 222 appearances since an August 2022 trade from the Angels. He had a 3.21 ERA and 29 saves in 2025.
Iglesias was considered one of the best relievers to hit free agency this year, and in bringing him back, the Braves shored up their bullpen.

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.

Wednesday was another positive day at Yankees camp. For the first time since March 6, 2025 — an outing in which he knew “something wasn’t right,” which began a weeks-long saga that ended on the operating table for Tommy John surgery — Gerrit Cole was back on a mound and facing hitters in game action.
