2026 began with an incredibly slow day on the news front. However, with a new year, it’s time to remember those who passed away in 2025 with our annual Braves in Memoriam. MLB News: Tatsuya Imai and the Houston Astros reportedly agreed to a three-year, $54M deal. The deal allows the right-hander to opt out […]

First of all, a big Happy New year from Battery Power. Here’s to another year of Braves coverage. Well the big news of the day was the Braves being linked in multiple spots to Tatsuya Imai. I have been pushing Imai a bit for the past few weeks for the Braves, as he makes a […]
I just want to say thanks to everybody who’s helped make this year a really special one for both me personally and the website as a whole. Thank you a million times over and let’s make sure 2026 is an even better year — especially if our Braves bounce back. Here’s a random clip:
Just Baseball’s Aram Leighton reported Tuesday that the Atlanta Braves agreed to a minor league deal with outfielder José Azocar. The deal includes an invite to Spring Training. Azocar spent a very brief period in Atlanta in 2025, where he appeared in just two games. He wrapped up 2025 with the New York Mets, where […]

Welcome to the open thread, folks. We’re one day closer to the New Year? Excited yet? Here’s a random clip:
As an initial stab, you might have guessed that since adopting the power-oriented offensive approach in 2019, the Braves have not been much for accumulating stolen bases. That’s fairly intuitive, but unfortunately, it gets somewhat upended by reality. The Braves finished just inside the top ten in team stolen bases in 2018, and then again […]
MLB History 1926 – The Chicago Tribune releases a story stating that the Detroit Tigers threw a four-game series against the Chicago White Sox in 1917 to help Chicago win the pennant. Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis responds by holding a hearing on the matter, but dismisses all charges as he can find no witnesses to […]
With 2026 literally two days a way, the hope of better fortune for the Braves next year and beyond compared to 2025 certainly comes into focus. And while the Braves have made plenty of moves this off-season that rightfully make them a better team for next year, it is hard to deny the biggest need […]
Hopefully this evening is treating you well. Here’s a random clip:
This question is potentially premature for some of you (I spent the first couple of decades of my life celebrating New Year’s with basically the same trappings as U.S.-based commercialized Christmas), but we’re going with it anyway. I’m not much of a fan of receiving gifts, but in a much-appreciated attempt to declutter, my holiday […]
With Christmas in the rear view mirror and start of a new week here, it could make sense for some more free agents to find new homes in the coming days. While still in the midst of the holiday season, recent years have shown activity can still be fast and furious. Perhaps the Braves can […]
Braves Franchise History 1932 – Shanty Hogan, who started his career with the Boston Braves, is purchased by the Braves after five years as the regular catcher for the New York Giants. Boston pays $25,000 for Hogan, who will finish his career with a .295 batting average. 1938 – The Boston Bees acquire Al Simmons […]
Hope this Sunday is a super-relaxing one for everybody out there reading this. Here’s the random clip:
I don’t have to tell you that the Braves had a tough year in 2025. The season started with an 0-7 road trip and really never got off the ground. They had 3 starting pitchers go down in the space of five days. Their collective hitting approach was, eh let’s go with interesting. I think […]
Braves Franchise History 1953 – The Milwaukee Braves acquire second baseman Danny O’Connell from the Pittsburgh Pirates in exchange for third baseman Sid Gordon, outfielder Sam Jethroe, pitcher Max Surkont and four minor league pitchers. PIttsburgh also receives $100,000. MLB History 1926 – National League MVP Bob O’Farrell is named to replace Rogers Hornsby as […]
Well we’re mostly still waiting for things of significance to resume happening after the Christmas holiday, with a few minor transactions and the Tyler Soderstrom extension standing aside as exceptions. Tatsuya Imai has to sign in the next six days (and he would be a great signing for the Braves’ starting pitching need, even though […]
I hope this weird part of the year between Christmas and New Year’s is treating you well. Here’s the random clip:
I’m not sure it’s even close.
Braves Franchise History Here’s a random clip for you: MLB History 1919 – One day after working out a deal to sell Babe Ruth to the Yankees, Red Sox owner Harry Frazee says his team will deal any player except Harry Hooper. They will then deal Hooper to the White Sox following the 1920 season. […]
There was no action from the Atlanta Braves following Christmas Day, so there was plenty of time to analyze the boost that right-hander Joel Payamps could bring to the bullpen. Despite his off-putting 2025, 31-year-old Payamps could turn out to be one of the Braves’ most underrated signings this offseason. Let’s dig into his contract […]
I don’t know if any of y’all actually celebrate Boxing Day but I suppose if you watch the English Premier League, this is a big day (even though there’s only one game on Boxing Day this year). Anyways, I hope everybody is continuing to take it easy out there. Here’s a random clip:
The Atlanta Braves have been one of the most active teams this offseason, and some could argue they have been the most improved team thus far. It could have been assumed that the Braves would go after bullpen help after not retaining Pierce Johnson and Tyler Kinley, not to mention Raisel Iglesias reaching free agency. […]
