That still doesn't negate the fact that they knew the bullpen was bad -and us fans let them know- and they sat on their arse.
It was a poor product and they chose to keep the same poor product. They also knew Snit pulls his starters around 100 pitches, so there was a need to acquire middle relievers. The lack of moves is rearing its ugly head.

My biggest issue is between MLB and High A with have 17-18 young starters with buzz and good to immense trade value. You can't even field 18 pitchers on a roster let alone starters. find 5-7 that you are comfort trading and start improving the big club.

Yes, the bullpen sucks, but unfortunately what else can we do other than cycle through arms within the organization? Look at the big name relievers who signed... Robertson, Kelly, Miller, Britton, etc. They are all doing terrible. Throwing money at relievers is risky because a lot of them are not consistent. The one I wanted the braves to look at most was Ottavino, who signed for 3/27. He seemed to turn it around last year, but even he’s had ups and downs throughout his careers. It’s hard finding consistent middle relievers these days. The braves need a complete overhaul. If O’Day has anything left, that’d be great. Also, maybe some of our excess starters can be put in the pen. And of course, there are always trades later on down the road.

Guess who's back! Jackson sent back to AAA (not the pitcher but I see why he's a minor league suspect):
