Well, the Braves plugged their starting shortstop hole with Ha-Seong Kim. Are they spent out, other than minor reliever-type moves? I asked about another sizable reliever deal earlier, but the offseason isn’t quite over, so really, we’re just talking about the title at this point: is it going to be relatively quiet from now until […]

Today’s a pretty slow day in Braves Country, as you could imagine considering that we’re about to enter that portion of the offseason where moves and transactions tend to slow down a little bit. As such, we’ve got a little bit of housekeeping to talk about — it’s a tiny bit of sad news as […]

The Braves didn’t make many notable changes to their roster between 2024 and 2025 — what they changed was largely under the hood, so to speak, with some pretty awful results.

Joey Wentz might be the most interesting man on the roster going into 2026 Spring Training. Well, that’s not really true. It’s probably the new free agent acquisitions.

The Braves have committed 29 million in 2026 salary to two high-leverage relievers this offseason. Robert Suarez will collect another 32 million (walkout pending) through 2028.
