Latest news and updates about the Braves
Walt Weiss gave the press some more injury news today. To no Braves fan’s surprise, it’s not good news. Oy. It’s the song that never ends. Jimenez, already having lost the 2025 season with a left articular cartilage injury and further surgery in November, may be out for 2026. The Braves, after placing Spencer Schwellenbach […]
Phillies pitchers and catchers report to Clearwater today, effectively ending one of the dreariest off-seasons since team president Dave Dombrowski took over as head of baseball operations prior to the 2021 season. Yes, he re-signed Kyle Schwarber, far-and-away the franchise’s primary goal over the winter, added free agent reliever Brad Keller to set up closer […]
Tuesday made for a busy day for the Atlanta Braves, as pitchers and catchers reported to the spring training facility in North Port, Florida. There were several storylines from the day, and in 2025 fashion, not all of them were great. Most notably, it was announced that starting pitcher Spencer Schwellenbach has some inflammation in […]
The Atlanta Braves have been hyper-active on this first day of Spring Training, with the teaming making a late-night announcement that infielder Brett Wisely, who appeared with the team late in the 2025 season, has been re-acquired by the team in a trade with the Tampa Bay Rays for cash considerations. The Braves traded Wisely […]
Atlanta Braves reliever Dylan Lee has reportedly won his arbitration case over the team, according to a report by MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand. Per the report, Lee will make $2.2 million for the 2026 season. The club had filed at $2 million. Lee was the Braves’ only arbitration-eligible player this offseason to go to arbitration. Lee […]
The Cubs are adding some starting pitching depth: Kyle Wright was the Braves’ first-round pick (seventh overall) in 2017 out of Vanderbilt and was a Top 100 prospect three years in a row (2018, 2019, 2020). He made his MLB debut with the Braves in 2019 and joined their rotation full-time in 2022, when he […]
Heading into this season, the Braves were anticipating that Spencer Schwellenbach would be healthy and ready to go after he had his 2025 season cut short due to a fractured elbow. Unfortunately, here on the first day of pitchers and catchers being at spring training, it’s become clear that Schwellenbach’s elbow is still bothering him. […]
Do y’all remember the time when Baseball Prospectus would drop their annual PECOTA projections and there would be gnashing of teeth and rending of garments on the Braves Country corner of the internet? That was because for years, if there was any team that represented the whole “PECOTA hates your team” belief, it was the […]
Atlanta Braves pitchers and catchers have officially reported to spring training and as it turns out, there’s another catcher who has joined the Braves for the first day of camp. I suppose that things have been hectic down there in North Port because we didn’t get the usual Braves tweet with a block of white […]
With spring training and the regular season right around the corner and with some new openings on the staff here at Battery Power, we’ve decided to officially open up applications in order to find new writers! If you’d like a chance to write about the Braves for what is (in our own biased opinion) the […]
Another season of Atlanta Braves minor league baseball looms on the horizon, and following the release of our top 30 prospects list last week, this week we are taking a deeper look at some of the prospects on the list and how the changes on the list came to be. One of the most important […]
The Super Bowl was pretty fun. And a certain Brave had a pretty good view of both the game and the half time show. While Ronald Acuna Jr. likely had fun seeing football up close, you know that he and his teammates are ready for later this week as Spring Training gets under way. Pitchers […]
There is some video out there of Ronald Acuña playing second base. There’s also footage of Acuña crushing a pitch while swinging left handed. How bananas would it be to see him play 162 games as a switch-hitting second baseman? Ivan ran the numbers, and he said that he would be worth approximately 3700 WAR […]
Well Spring Training is here in only a few days now, but the Braves still have a desire to add a starting pitcher and fortunately there are still some options out there, headlined by Chris Bassitt and Zac Gallen. They’d better get a move on to sign (or trade for) whoever they intend to add […]
It’s been a minute since we have had real, actual Braves baseball news to talk about. Oh sure, we’ve covered the nearly interminable Braves TV partner saga. At least it looks as if we are going to have a happy ending there. Braves released their non-roster invitee list. This is the deep cut. These are […]
Meet the Mets What might the Mets’ lineup look like coming out of spring training? Around the National League East The Phillies top three hitters in their lineup this year is bound to be Trea Turner, Kyle Schwarber, and Bryce Harper, but in what order? The Braves ae bringing veteran infielder Kyle Farmer into spring […]
Earlier this week, the Atlanta Braves announced 24 non-roster invites to spring training. On Friday, that number increased, as MLB.com’s Mark Bowman reported that Kyle Farmer will also be at camp as a non-roster invite. Farmer spent 2025 with the Colorado Rockies, where he hit .227 and spent time all around the infield. He’s not […]
Earlier this week, we got the much-anticipated Non-Roster Invitee list from the Braves for this season’s spring training camp. That list initially consisted of 24 names. Now, there are 25 names on that list after the Braves made an addition to it here on Friday afternoon. Mark Bowman of MLB.com is reporting that the Braves […]
And just like that….we find ourselves at the end. After a rather fun week where we got to profile a lot of new intriguing players in the organization, we turn our focus to the top of the list. Players that come with the shine of being high round draft picks, big bonus international prospects, and […]
Tom Friend of Sports Business Journal has reported a new possible twist in the on-going saga of Main Street Sports Group, as it related to the Atlanta Braves. In the article from SBJ, it notes that two MLB teams – the Braves and the Los Angeles Angels – have opted not to join the other […]
The rosters for the 2026 edition of the World Baseball Classic have been revealed and as it turns out, Ronald Acuña Jr. won’t be the only Atlanta Braves representative at the WBC. In fact, Acuña won’t have to wait too long to see a few of his teammates turn into opponents during Pool D action […]
Quiet as kept, FanGraphs has released their updated MLB Playoff Odds for the upcoming 2026 season. As of right now with the offseason beginning to transition into the ever-optimistic days of spring training, FanGraphs’ projection model feels like the Atlanta Braves should have very good reason to feel optimistic heading into the regular season. While […]
We are now entering the stretch where pretty much every player on the list has legitimate MLB potential because of their skill set. With the exclusion of Luke Sinnard who, one author had a bit higher on their list, there was unanimous agreement on who the top 12 prospects in the organization are. Youth, and […]
I don’t mean, Michael Soroka’s Achilles’ heel. Just, you know, in general. The set of questions we received for February included, “What weakness will doom the team if nothing changes?” — but I twisted it around a bit. I have an answer to the former, and it’s also the answer to this question, but “doom […]
It was a good day for people interested in prospects, as our prospect team continues to roll out their best-in-industry Braves top 30 prospects list and we got Atlanta’s list of non-roster Spring Training invites. I will say that I was a bit disappointed at the absence of Cam Caminiti on the non-roster invites list, […]
