In a 12-year career that had been spent entirely with the Dodgers, the 34-year-old Jansen has a 2.37 career ERA with 1,022 strikeouts and 350 saves.
AP Sports Writer
Braves general manager Alex Anthopoulos said he discussed the signing with Smith before finalizing the deal. In a 12-year career that had been spent entirely with the Dodgers, Jansen has a 2.37 career ERA with 1,022 strikeouts and 350 saves. Only Chicago White Sox closer Craig Kimbrel has more saves since Jansen’s debut in 2010.
The loss of Jansen creates significant uncertainty in the Dodgers’ bullpen. The team has been handing the ball to its big right-hander in the ninth inning for more than a decade. The Braves have bolstered their roster with a flurry of moves, even while losing Freeman to the Dodgers on a six-year, $162 million contract.
