PEORIA, Ariz. -- For more than a decade, “California Love” by Tupac blasted through the Dodger Stadium speakers. It meant Kenley Jansen was coming in. More often than not, that resulted in a Dodgers win.

With Jansen signing a one-year, $16 million deal with the Braves late Friday night, the ninth inning will now consist of a carousel of relievers trying to lock down wins for the Dodgers.

“He has dominated for a long time, and he was always there every year. He went out there and did what he was asked to do,” said Dodgers left-hander Clayton Kershaw, who came up through the Minors with Jansen. “We’re going to miss him. I’m going to miss him.”

Jansen, who was signed out of Curacao as a 17-year-old catcher, leaves Los Angeles as the most decorated reliever in Dodgers history. His 350 saves are the most in franchise history.

Jansen is also one of only four players with 1,000 relief strikeouts in one league, along with Billy Wagner, Mariano Rivera and Trevor Hoffman. Rivera and Hoffman are both in the Hall of Fame. Jansen became the first pitcher to win the Trevor Hoffman Reliever of the Year Award in back-to-back seasons, earning the honor in 2016 and '17.

“To have a guy that you can count on to post numbers, to stay healthy and to be good -- really good -- is certainly not lost on me,” Los Angeles manager Dave Roberts said. “This guy was as dependable as any in the history of the game. The numbers don’t lie. They really don’t.”

Despite his longevity and dominance early in his career, Jansen was sometimes scrutinized over the past few seasons. At different points over the past three years, Jansen heard boos from the Dodger Stadium crowd after a shaky performance. During the 2020 World Series championship run, Jansen struggled down the stretch, including a blown save in Game 4 of the Fall Classic against the Rays.

However, the consistency and stability that Jansen provided in the back end of the Dodgers' bullpen for more than a decade were luxuries that most organizations don’t experience often. Roberts said having Jansen as his closer for the past six seasons made his job “a lot easier.”

“I think that over the last few years, there's been some sentiment that he wasn't what he should have been, and that is completely false,” Roberts said. “I do think we’re going to look back and those same fans that booed him are going to look back in hindsight and go, ‘Man, he was a heck of a Dodger. He was a Dodger great.’”

Most relievers will say that being on the mound to close out a game is one of the most difficult tasks in baseball. Some teams struggle to find a reliable closer for years at a time. The Dodgers believe they’re in position to replace Jansen with a deep bullpen that includes Blake Treinen, Brusdar Graterol, Daniel Hudson and multiple other options.

But for the first time since 2011, Jansen won’t be running out of the left-field bullpen. It remains to be seen just how much the Dodgers will miss him.

“He’s meant a lot to this team, a lot to this city,” catcher Austin Barnes said. “He’s been a staple really since I’ve walked in here. It’ll be weird not having him, going to battle with him. But I’m happy for him, going to Atlanta, got a good contract, and I’m sure he’ll be good over there.”
