The ageless Chavez got the start on the mound and went two innings with three strikeouts, surrendering only one hit.
The Braves bullpen is the most competitive position battle of spring training because there is a surplus of major-league arms and only eight spots. Jesse Chavez will be vying for one of those spots and turned in a near-flawless outing against the Rays. The ageless Chavez got the start on the mound and went two innings with three strikeouts, surrendering only one hit. The almost 40-year-old has been a marvel when donning the Tomahawk across his chest. The journeyman reliever began his time in Atlanta all the way back in the 2010 season. When he returned during the 2021 season, Chavez was a critical piece to the Braves' World Series run. Following the Fall Classic, the Braves decided to let Chavez walk in free agency, and he ended up signing a deal with the Cubs. However, Chicago quickly traded him back to the Braves in exchange for Sean Newcomb. After spending several weeks with Atlanta, Chavez was once again traded, this time to the Angels in exchange for Raisel Iglesias. But his 2022 journey wasn’t finished
