Chasen Shreve DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Free-agent left-hander Chasen Shreve signed a minor-league deal with the Atlanta Braves on Monday that includes in invitation to major-league spring training. Shreve will make $1.3 million if he's in the big leagues in 2025. Shreve signed a minor-league deal with the Texas Rangers last February but ended up pitching just one inning in the big leagues last year with the Colorado Rockies. At the Triple-A level with three different organizations (Rockies, Rangers and Yankees), Shreve held a 2.62 ERA and 0.85 WHIP with a save, 35 strikeouts and 12 walks in 34 1/3 innings over 31 appearances out of the bullpen. The 34-year-old veteran southpaw will just be trying to win an Opening Day roster spot this spring as bullpen depth in Atlanta. After debuting in the majors in 2014 with Atlanta, Shreve has a career 3.96 ERA and 1.34 WHIP in 357 innings with only two saves.

The Texas Ranger announced Monday that they signed free-agent relief pitcher Chasen Shreve to a minor-league deal with an invitation to spring training. The 33-year-old lefty posted a 4.63 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, and 23.3% strikeout rate with 12 holds in 44 2/3 innings pitched in 2023 with the Tigers and Reds. While he owns a respectable 3.97 ERA over his 10-season career, he will need to prove that he can still pitch to that level to potentially break camp with the defending World Series champions.
