Washington Nationals vs Atlanta Braves Game Thread
With the August 3rd deadline looming larger by the day, the Nats hit the road and head to Atlanta.

Could Braves look to trade these three underachieving players?
In a market like this one, with so few sellers and almost three times as many buyers, it makes sense for a lot of teams to engage in both. The Braves — currently sporting the fourth-best record in baseball — will be much more interested in acquiring players, but there are a few guys under […]

Braves at Mets series recap: The struggle continues against New York
I never thought I’d say this about the 2026 New York Mets but folks, I’m tired of them. I think y’all would agree with me on that as well. Indeed, the Mets have seemingly had Atlanta’s number this season and it’s coming at an inopportune time — one when the Mets are about as vulnerable […]
MLB Pipeline names Braves prospect most likely to be traded
Over his tenure as general manager, Alex Anthopoulos has refused to trade his best prospects — and more often than not, he’s been right to do so.

If Alex Anthopoulos runs the 2021 playbook again, the Braves are in trouble
We are starting to slowly see some action as the August 3rd trade deadline inches near, and by the time we reach the weekend, things should be going full throttle, with Braves GM Alex Anthopoulos at the center of it all. Or will he be? In a recent piece from Mark Feinsand of MLB.com, an […]
Will the Braves curtail Austin Riley’s playing time?
Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow. But, will they, before the season is done? On the one hand — no. They don’t really have other options (at least not right now), they haven’t done it yet, and Riley has at least shown temporary signs of righting the ship, even if they’ve evaporated as quickly as […]

Braves News: Tate Southisene to the IL, top prospects list, more
AJ Smith-Shawver has returned to Atlanta’s rotation.

The Mets only managed two hits tonight as they lost to the Braves 1-0 in the second game of today’s doubleheader.

Are the Royals the Perfect Trade Partner for the Braves?
