Latest blog entries from Atlanta teams across every league
The crowned jewel of the trade deadline will be the reigning back-to-back AL Cy Young award winner Tarik Skubal. There’s an off chance the Tigers decide not to move him if they get back into playoff contention over the next month, but even that might not be enough. Detroit knows they have no chance of […]
Atlético de Madrid confirmed Wednesday that long-serving captain Jorge Resurreción Merodio “Koke” has signed a one-year contract renewal to continue playing for the club of his life in the 2026/27 season. Koke, 34, reportedly had been subject to intense interest from MLS side Atlanta United in recent weeks. But Atlético’s all-time leader in appearances has […]
The Braves have lost their momentum and desperately need some struggling bats to turn things around.
Before we get into this, let’s address the elephant in the room. With all due respect to the accomplished USA Today MLB columnist Bob Nightengale, we all know to take this type of stuff with a huge grain of salt. With that being said, this is a link that’s been made by multiple MLB reporters […]
AJ Smith-Shawver is finally back on the mound following his Tommy John Surgery, and he went down to Augusta where he had his breakout campaign a few years ago. Smith-Shawver looked great with his fastball touching 98 in the first inning, and he did so well he was run out for three innings. All of […]
The Braves are desperately looking for anything positive to hang onto right now, and their best hope is guys returning from injury. After spending some time in Florida, AJ Smith-Shawver officially began his rehab assignment with the Augusta Green Jackets last night, tossing three innings and allowing just one run with four strikeouts. We missed […]
In the span of a month, the Braves have turned into a team that’s painful to watch for three hours every night. The rotation is disgusting, the offense belongs in Triple-A. The bullpen… well, we’re not talking about the few good things right now. All of that continued on Tuesday night as the Braves opened […]
Real Salt Lake didn't wait for the secondary transfer window to come to them.
Atlanta Braves right-hander AJ Smith-Shawver returned to the lineup card and made a rehab appearance for the Augusta GreenJackets on Tuesday evening. He underwent Tommy John surgery a little over a year ago and is ramping up just in time to contribute to the struggling Braves’ rotation. During Tuesday’s outing, Smith-Shawver threw three innings of […]

The Celtics will compete with the Hawks, Hornets, Bulls, and Wizards in the East's Group C this year in the NBA Cup.
There’s a baseball saying you may have heard: “you can’t walk off the island.” While it generally pertains to MLB’s international free agency system in reference to the Caribbean, the Braves lived their own version of it tonight in a 5-3 loss to the Cardinals: maybe some teams can walk their way to a win, […]
Matthew Liberatore teetered on the edge a few times, but at the end of the day gave the St. Louis Cardinals the outing they and he needed. The Cardinals offense finally came uncorked in the 4th inning to provide the runs to give St. Louis a win in Atlanta Wednesday night, but the late innings […]
You can’t really end June on a particularly high note if you’re the Braves, given the standard you’ve set… but a win’s better than not a win and a loss would, once again, suck.
The St. Louis Cardinals will begin a difficult road trip as they’ll visit the NL East division-leading Atlanta Braves. Matthew Liberatore will try again as he is the scheduled starter for the Cardinals. The Atlanta Braves starter is unannounced as of now. First pitch is scheduled for 6:15pm central time at Truist Park in Atlanta. […]
The Braves and Cardinals should look to make trades sooner rather than later, given how they've been playing.
Not much in the results department to talk about, so let’s talk about process. The Braves’ lineup today is a bit of a shuffle, but all the lefties are at the top. Drake Baldwin is leadoff, then Matt Olson is third, and Michael Harris II is fourth. A procession of righties follows, including Eli White […]
I don’t think there’s a more difficult Knick to evaluate than Karl-Anthony Towns. It’s not just the fact that the big man’s season looked completely different from game four of the Hawks series onwards. It’s also the fact that for much of the season, Towns’ impact on the team was hard to gauge. Even when […]
Urgh, June 2026. It was not a good month. The Braves are 9-13 so far, and lost five series (including a sweep) while only winning three. Two of those three came at the beginning of the month, too, so it’s basically been a disaster of a stretch for a team that played like they were […]
The Hawks Summer League squad will compete in both Utah and Las Vegas this offseason, and it’s one of the most stacked Summer League rosters you’re going to see, featuring Kingston Flemings, Zuby Ejiofor, Henri Veesaar, and last year’s first round selection Asa Newell. # Player Pos Ht Wt Birthdate Prior to NBA/Home Country Yrs […]
Free agent center Jock Landale will stay with the Hawks on a one-year, $14MM contract, agents Sammy Wloszczowski and Mike Lelchitski of SIG Sports tell ESPN’s Shams Charania (Twitter link). The deal is fully guaranteed, adds Kelly Iko of Yahoo Sports (Twitter link). Atlanta will use nearly all of its $15MM non-taxpayer mid-level exception to […]
About a month ago, Braves top prospect Eric Hartman entered Baseball America’s list of the top 100 prospects in the game. Now, he’s already among the top 60 as he continues to put up one of the best minor-league seasons in the organization’s history. At about the halfway point, Hartman has 19 home runs and […]
The AJ Smith-Shawver news that Braves president of baseball operations and general manager Alex Anthopoulos shared last week in an interview with BravesVision is coming exactly to fruition. The right-handed pitcher is set to officially begin his rehab assignment Tuesday night with Single-A Augusta, the Braves announced Tuesday morning. Smith-Shawver’s first rehab start is slated […]
With the NFL schedule released last month, all eyes are on Week 1. Primarily, which quarterback the Pittsburgh Steelers will face in the season opener against the Atlanta Falcons. That answer is months from being finalized but ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler offered an update, and clear leader, during a Monday appearance on SportsCenter. “Michael Penix [Jr.] […]
A baseball season can go in so many different directions. The San Diego Padres came home from a dismal 4-5 road trip, but no time to feel sorry for themselves. The homestand brought a fierce test against two of the National League’s top World Series contenders. The Padres swept the Eastern Division-leading Atlanta Braves before […]
