Smith is expected to move to a setup role after Atlanta signed Kenley Jansen to a one-year, $16 million contract.

This is a big blow to those who drafted Smith as a source of saves. We knew Jansen had to sign somewhere, but Atlanta didn't seem like a likely landing spot. If Jansen gets hurt or struggles, Smith could be back in the ninth inning, but it seems unlikely the team would have brought Jansen in to be a setup man given his long track record of success as a closer with the Dodgers.
