Latest blog entries from Atlanta teams across every league
The Atlanta Braves started their four game series against the San Diego Padres in much need of revenge after being swept by the Padres just four weeks ago. The Braves have been red hot on offense leading all MLB teams in runs scored in July. This past week in particular has been great with Drake […]
While the Hawks improved in the short term by trading Zaccharie Risacher and second-round draft capital for Luguentz Dort and Ryan Nembhard, it’s still a disappointing ending to the 21-year-old’s tenure in Atlanta, writes John Hollinger of The Athletic. Risacher was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 draft, but he was selected by […]
Trae Young appeared to take a dig at the Atlanta Hawks on Monday, writing in an Instagram comment that Zaccharie Risacher was "free" after he was traded to the Dallas Mavericks as part of a three-team deal that sent Lu Dort to the Hawks.

Pitching injuries have been a staple of the Atlanta Braves organization over the last several years, and it looks like they could be dealing with another major issue with one of their most promising young arms.

Hawks rookie Kingston Flemings will face a tough but beneficial challenge every day in his rookie season at practice.
The Braves have spent the bulk of the season in first place in the National League East, but a once-comfortable lead has dwindled to three games over the resurgent Phillies (six and eight over the upstart Marlins and Nationals, respectively). As their division rivals have improved their play in recent weeks, Atlanta has struggled both […]
The Atlanta Hawks appear unlikely to bring Jonathan Kuminga back after the Lu Dort trade, and so do the Los Angeles Lakers after pickups of their own.
The Royals have signed veteran lefty Aaron Bummer to a minor league contract and assigned him to Triple-A Omaha. Bummer has appeared in 406 career MLB games with the White Sox and Braves with a 3.94 ERA. He was let go by Atlanta earlier this year after posting a 7.36 ERA in 19 games. Bummer […]
The Atlanta Braves have the hottest offense in MLB since the start of July. No team has scored more runs than them, and they currently are third in wRC+. Of course Drake Baldwin and Austin Riley coming out of the All-Star break on fire has helped, but that has only been a small part of […]
According to Jon Morosi, the Athletics are listening to offers on some of their outfielders, with the hope of landing young starting pitching in return. MLB Trade Deadline note: The A’s have received inquiries on their MLB outfielders. (They have 5 on the active roster and Clarke on the IL.) The scenarios would involve the […]
The Atlanta Hawks have fully bought into their defense being their biggest asset - likely propelling them to the top of the Eastern Conference.
The Atlanta Braves are looking to make a statement coming out of the All-Star break and their offense has been doing just that. The pitching has struggled a bit, so as they face the San Diego Padres this week it could go a long way in showing that the Braves are truly back or not […]
Alex Anthopoulos is making his media rounds now two weeks away from what’s expected to be a very active trade deadline for the Atlanta Braves. As always, he’s never going to give too much away or talk explicitly about any specific deals, but Anthopoulos is typically a relatively straight shooter, and he didn’t hesitate to […]
On Sunday, the Oklahoma City Thunder, Atlanta Hawks, and Dallas Mavericks completed a three-team trade that was depressing for at least two big reasons. The first reason: Just two years after being selected first overall in the NBA Draft, Zaccharie Risacher has been kicked to the curb. The 21-year-old Frenchman had already fallen out of Atlanta's wing rotation during the regular season, and saw scant garbage-time minutes in the team's first-round playoff exit. To acquire a former No. 1 pick...
The Braves are set to gain a couple of reinforcements over the next couple of weeks in Martin Perez and AJ Smith-Shawver, as they continue searching for answers in their rotation. According to Braves beat reporter Mark Bowman, Perez will be back this week, set to start Wednesday against the Padres. Braves probables vs. Padres […]
After what felt like a never-ending wait, the time to trade is nearly upon Major League Baseball. This year’s trade deadline is August 3 at 6 p.m. ET, giving contending clubs just two weeks to reinforce their rosters for the stretch drive. The Atlanta Braves are one of many teams seeking the missing pieces for their […]
Over the weekend, Walt Weiss had some not-so-encouraging comments on Spencer Strider and Spencer Schwellenbach, suggesting it didn’t look likely either would return this season. Strider coming back still feels highly unlikely after yet another significant elbow injury, but Weiss walked back his comments on Schwellenbach, saying he’d gone to Florida over the All-Star break […]
It was a tough six or so weeks for the Braves as they limped into the second half, watching a once 10.5-game lead in the NL East shrink all the way down to just two games ahead of the Phillies. But some recent developments should have everybody feeling more confident that the second-half version of […]
Jonnu Smith is a free agent, and this time he can’t rejoin Arthur Smith. A former third-round pick by the Titans out of Florida International in 2017, he spent a productive four seasons in Tennessee before joining the Patriots for two years. Since then, he’s played for the Falcons, Dolphins, and Steelers, with his 2024 […] The post Top Free Agent Landing Spots For TE Jonnu Smith appeared first on NFLTradeRumors.co .
On January 17, 1999, the Minnesota Vikings were aiming for a Super Bowl showdown in Miami, and the NFC Championship game against the Atlanta Falcons was supposed to be a stepping stone to that. But when placekicker Gary Anderson missed that fourth-quarter 39-yard field goal, everything came crashing down. For more than two decades, the […] The post “You’re the Reason We Lost”: Randy Moss Pins the Blame on HOFer for Vikings’ Brutal 1998 Loss appeared first on EssentiallySports .
It felt like it was coming after the way Zaccharie Risacher fell completely out of the Hawks rotation towards the end of his second season, but the team made it official on Sunday with a three-team trade, sending the 2024 #1 overall pick to Dallas in exchange for Lu Dort and Ryan Nembhard. BREAKING: The […]
