MLB.com's Mark Bowman reports the Braves could consider A.J. Minter for closing duties in 2019. (Braves.mlb.com)

Fantasy Impact:

Atlanta had been linked to Edwin Diaz before he was dealt to the Mets, and the club apparently doesn't view any of the free agent relievers as capable of closing. That's besides Craig Kimbrel of course, who's asking price is said to be sky high. The 25-year-old Minter struck out 69 batters in 61 1/3 innings last year to go along with 15 saves. He would be a great fantasy pick if awarded the job.
