At least I didn’t have to write “Braves tumble” into St. Louis, though the status of their tumbling remains a distinct possibility. The Braves righted the ship, or at least gave the appearance of righting the ship, a bit in Pittsburgh earlier this week, winning a series for the first time since June 19-21. After […]
There reportedly is a gap in sign-and-trade talks between the Los Angeles Lakers and Atlanta Hawks for free agent Jonathan Kuminga.
It's hard to feel too great about Atlanta's trajectory right now, but the team itself isn't panicking.
The group over at Overslot Baseball has come out with an interesting and fun new tool ahead of the 2026 MLB Draft, giving us a mock draft simulator to play with, just like there is for the NFL and NBA drafts. I would recommend giving it a try for yourself if you have a few minutes. This […]

Lakers The Lakers remain in pursuit of free agent forward Jonathan Kuminga, but completing a sign-and-trade with the Hawks may not be as simple as initially believed. According to Jake Fischer of The Stein Line, Atlanta has been resistant to a proposed package centered around Jarred Vanderbilt and a 2032 first-round pick swap. That differs […]

The All-Star break is quickly approaching, and even during a down June, the Atlanta Braves sport the fourth-best record in baseball at 54-38. Despite the current narrative surrounding the team, they maintain a three-game lead in their division and are squarely in the playoff picture. When a team is playing this well, the stars usually […]

It wouldn’t be a day ending in “y” without a Braves roster move: Hurston Waldrep’s ongoing recovery has had quite a few twists and turns. Following a pseudo-breakout late last year, after the Braves were out of it and had little to play for other than trying to garner the kind of major league development […]

With three weeks until the trade deadline, ESPN’s Jeff Passan gave his “best match” and “dream match” for the Atlanta Braves, addressing two entirely different needs. Best Match For The Braves — Freddy Peralta Stop me if you’ve heard this before: the Mets have underachieved this season. Despite limitless funds thanks to the backing of […]
Thursday night was defined by late comebacks, with all four games having the winner decided by runs in the final half of their contests. Tate Southisene continues to make an impact for Rome and had a big triple off of the center field wall for his 31st extra base hit of the season. Unfortunately in […]
Happy Friday A’s fans! The first half officially wraps up on Sunday for the mid-season All-Star Break. The Athletics were one of three teams to have three starters selected for Tuesday’s All-Star Game, along with the Atlanta Braves (2) and the Los Angeles Dodgers (3). Pretty awesome considering how things have gone for the Green […]
For several years, the Braves farm system has been ranked among the worst in baseball — which is admittedly pretty ironic, considering they’ve continued to produce highly productive young players at an alarming rate. The overall depth, particularly at the lower levels, just wasn’t there. That’s no longer the case. Eric Hartman has taken the […]
Bats were hot on Thursday, as hitters around the league combined for 39 homers and a .185 isolated power. Tigers rookie Eduardo Valencia went deep in his very first big league at-bat, while Mike Yastrzemski hit a ninth-inning grand slam for the Braves. Matt Olson also homered for Atlanta on the same day that he […]
July 10: While it’s believed that the Lakers want to package Vanderbilt and a 2032 first-round swap in a sign-and-trade for Kuminga, the Hawks have been resistant to taking back Vanderbilt in that sort of deal, sources tell Jake Fischer of The Stein Line (Substack link), contradicting Price’s reporting (outlined below). According to Fischer, Kuminga […]
You have to go all the way back to June 21st to find the last time the Braves won a series, and following a disappointing Game 1 against the Pirates on Tuesday, it looked like the drought might stretch into the All-Star break. Instead, a gem from Atlanta’s pitching staff on Wednesday set the stage, […]
The Atlanta Braves announced a roster move that reinstated OF Eli White from the paternity list and designated fellow outfielder José Azócar for assignment. The move came ahead of Thursday’s series finale in Pittsburgh. White returns to the active roster after missing the last series while on paternity leave. During his absence, Azócar filled the […]

The Atlanta Hawks may get a first-round swap from the Los Angeles Lakers in a Jonathan Kuminga trade, something the Golden State Warriors never got.
Remember when Ozzie Albies bopped those two big fly balls just over the big wall in right field at Truist Park in order to help push the Braves to a 4-3 win over the Milwaukee Brewers? Yeah, that was back on June 20 and that was the last time the Braves won a series. Ever […]
The Braves have re-signed Carlos Carrasco to a new minor league deal, according to his transactions tracker at MLB.com. The transaction logs also indicated that catcher Jair Camargo has been outrighted to Triple-A Gwinnett. Carrasco, 39, was designated for assignment earlier this week. Since then, he has cleared outright waivers, elected free agency and signed […]

It seemed another Braves game was going to come down to the wire. Although they had led since the opening inning and saw that lead grow to 6-2 in the fourth inning, it was gradually chipped away until Atlanta was clinging to a 6-5 lead over the Pittsburgh Pirates entering the ninth inning. Mike Yastrzemski […]
The Atlanta Braves are among the teams pursuing Boston Red Sox right-hander Sonny Gray, and they may have a natural advantage in landing him. Per Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon of The Athletic , the Braves are one of several rotation-needy clubs that have reached out to the Red Sox about Gray's availability, and Rosenthal noted Atlanta stands out as an intriguing match.
