Your one stop shop for everything Atlanta Braves
Later on this evening, the Atlanta Braves are going to be playing their first night game of spring training over in Fort Myers against the Twins. However, those won’t be the only Braves players taking part in a baseball game in Florida today. In fact, there will be a game that actually counts (and figures […]
The vagaries of scheduling made yesterday a day chock full of Czechia baseball action… but unfortunately, it went pretty terribly for them. The early-morning (at least here on the East Coast of the United States) contest saw Czechia get absolutely clobbered by Korea. Starter Daniel Padysak didn’t even escape the first inning — two walks […]
The Atlanta Braves continued trimming down the roster Thursday, announcing five more cuts. Jhancarlos Lara was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett, while Austin Pope, Jim Jarvis, Alex Lodise and Luke Waddell were reassigned to minor league camp. After these moves, there are 54 active players in camp. None of the moves come as much of a […]
The 2026 World Baseball Classic is officially underway and if you’re keeping track of things from an Atlanta Braves perspective, today is the day for you. It’s all going down today at high noon at loanDepot park in Miami, FL as Ronald Acuña Jr. and Venezuela get set to take on Ozzie Albies and Jurickson […]
Today, the Atlanta Braves have released their full 40-man Spring Breakout roster. It’s filled with their top prospects who will compete against the Yankees on March 21. This is just a preliminary roster pool, as only 27 of those 40 players will actually make the final roster. Below you will find a list of the […]
What more can you ask for? A nice sunny day in CoolToday Park, a solid pitching performance from the Atlanta Braves’ two aces, and oh yeah…an appearance from Chipper Jones and Dale Murphy to speak with the team’s hitters before today’s game. In an interview with Jones from MLB Braves insider Mark Bowman, he explained […]
The hottest prospects that the Atlanta Braves have to offer are set to face off against the New York Yankees and their collection of farm system talent on March 21 at George M. Steinbrenner Field in Tampa. We knew the date and the time (6:35 p.m. ET, to be exact) but we didn’t know the […]
More cuts. More cuts! None of these guys really had much of a shot of making the roster, so this is mostly just procedural. Jhancarlos Lara turned some heads in the low minors, but has really struggled in Double-A and Triple-A. He hadn’t any official Spring Training appearances this year. While he does have a […]
After taking a win in yesterday’s exhibition game against Colombia (9-1), with the excitement of the World Baseball Classic now in full swing, Braves fans are still hoping to see signs of increasing promise throughout the remainder of Spring Training. This, after the news of Jurickson Profar’s second suspension, would be a highlight as everyone […]
Well, the 2026 WBC either did or didn’t start off with a bang, depending on your perspective. On the “not” front, you have the fact that the opening game took place at 10:00 pm ET at the Tokyo Dome, and featured two dark-horse-at-best competitors in Australia and Taiwan. On the “yes, with a bang” front, […]
Well in the aftermath of Jurickson Profar’s suspension, the Braves are down a (presumably) productive bat, but up $18 million dollars when you include luxury tax savings. That Mike Yastrzemski signing looks even more important now and Eli White is really not a bad platoon partner for him. That said, for a team that wanted […]
In a proceeding that attempted to redefine “exhibition, nonetheless televised for your enjoyment or something like it,” the Braves routed Team Colombia as a warm-up before the latter proceeds into World Baseball Classic play later this week. It’s tempting to describe Team Colombia’s efforts in this game as “going through the motions,” but that wouldn’t […]
Hey, in addition to y’know, the whole Jurickson Profar mess and the exhibition against Team Colombia this afternoon, we’ve got some roster cuts. Rolddy Munoz gets cut after one official Spring Training outing where he issued three walks while getting two outs. A-yup, that’ll do it. He’s on the 40-man roster, but really needs to […]
Yesterday was an off day. That made it the “perfect” time for the Jurickson Profar news to break. Now, we return to something slightly more normal: meaningless March exhibition contests… but with a twist. You see, the World Baseball Classic starts in earnest tonight, and many of the national teams have today and tomorrow for […]
Spring training is in full swing and the beginning of the World Baseball Classic will take place later this week. With it comes our first glimpses of the progress players have made during the course of the offseason, along with top prospects getting their chance to shine and make what they hope will be a […]
You know the saying — yeah, that one. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice—if you fool me you can’t be fooled again. Erm, anyway. Look, I’m no stranger to, “You did what?“ I live in a house with two children under eight, a male orange cat (if you know, you know), two […]
Atlanta Braves outfielder Jurickson Profar has been hit with a 162-game suspension after testing positive for a performance-enhancing drug. The penalty, which goes into effect Friday, would sideline him for the entire 2026 season, including any potential postseason games, and cost him his annual salary if upheld. Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reported that the […]
The Atlanta Braves have officially released a statement on outfielder/designated hitter Jurickson Profar’s 162-game suspension for a second positive test for a performance enhancing substance. The statement, which was issued on the team’s official social media account, expressed disappointment in the player but their support for MLB’s Drug Prevention and Treatment Program. The full statement […]
Jurickson Profar is currently set to miss the entire 2026 season after reportedly failing a test for performance-enhancing drugs for the second time in as many seasons. This bombshell news has rocked the Atlanta Braves organization, it’s rocked Braves Country and it has also rocked Profar’s pockets as well. Assuming the suspension becomes official (more […]
Jurickson Profar missed essentially the entire first half of the 2025 season after he tested positive for using performance-enhancing drugs. Unfortunately for him and the Braves, it’s déjà vu all over again in the worst possible way. Jeff Passan of ESPN is reporting that Profar has once again tested positive for a performance-enhancing drug and […]
Well, the results from yesterday, such as they were, were interesting. I’m not going to pretend they were anything other than reflective of people who pressed the rec button on one of the options, but here we go: The sum above means that, well, no one voted for the pre-2026 status quo with no ABS […]
On Monday, the Braves were able to earn another Spring Training victory over the Detroit Tigers. It was a game where the starting pitching depth of the Braves was on full display, as Bryce Elder, Joey Wentz, and Owen Murphy all threw multiple innings. While it is likely unwise to expect big things from any […]
Bryce Elder dealt with minor traffic on the basepaths during his time in this game but was able to get out of each situation without giving up a run. He was also helped by some solid defense (particularly from Jim Jarvis) as the Braves cruised to another spring training win in Grapefruit League action. Elder […]
We have finished the first three weeks of the 2026 college baseball season as we sit here on March 2nd and considering the Atlanta Braves have three very high picks in the 2026 MLB Draft, now is a good time to check in on the stock of some of the college players that are going […]
It’s a road spring training game, folks, so that means the Atlanta Braves are going to be letting their organizational depth shine in this one. With that being said, there’s still plenty of reason to tap in. Bryce Elder is right in the thick of the race for the final spot in the rotation and […]
