Jurickson Profar will play Winter Ball in Venezuela during upcoming offseason
Jurickson Profar, who missed the entire 2026 season after a second PED violation, will play winter ball with Los Tiburones de La Guaira in Venezuela. The move aims to prove his value and potentially win back the Atlanta Braves after GM Alex Anthopoulos left his future uncertain. Profar posted a .245/.353/.434 line with 14 homers in 80 games in 2025, but the scandal still looms. Playing alongside veteran Ronald Acuña Jr., who has also suited up for the club, could help Profar showcase outfield skills and regain trust before the 2027 season.
What changes will the Braves in-house evaluations bring?
One of the benefits of watching your team continue in the playoffs is that you don’t have to think about the holes in your team until you exit. And once you do, you begin the arduous task of considering how it all went wrong. Dealing with the holes in the team can be pretty straightforward. […]
Braves News: Briggs McKenzie, ALCS, more
As we approach the offseason and it increasingly looks like we will get a window for transactions before a likely lockout in early December. Last time we had a CBA negotiation and associated lockout, there was a flurry of transactions before the lockout, as teams and players looked to lock in some certainty before an […]
ALCS Game 4 Chat and Discussion

How many MLB playoff teams is too many?
The Big News this week is that the charlatans that run the sport formerly known as college football has a handshake deal with ESPN to double the number of teams only two years after tripling it. Yes, your school’s program can join the playoff after winning 8 games so long as they can lock down […]
Braves News: Brett Wisely to 40-man roster, Tate Southisene, and more
The Atlanta Braves have already made some moves this offseason, according to the transaction log. Most notably, infielder Brett Wisely was selected to the major league roster. Outfielder DaShawn Keirsey Jr. was outrighted to Triple-A Gwinnett, and infielder Luke Williams elected free agency. Given his limited big league experience, the decision to add Wisely to […]
ALCS Game 4 chat and discussion
Well, it’s looking like the ALCS will be the only baseball we get to see for a while after the Milwaukee Brewers swept the former two-time World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers out of the Postseason in unceremonious fashion. No worries, though, as the Cleveland Guardians and Tampa Bay Rays have been playing an entertaining […]
Braves add Brett Wisely to 40-man roster and outright DaShawn Keirsey Jr.
The Atlanta Braves have been making some small and quiet moves with their roster since their elimination in the NLDS and here’s another one. After they selected Danny Young’s contract last week, the Braves have decided to do the same with Brett Wisely as well. DaShawn Keirsey Jr. ended up getting outrighted to Triple-A Gwinnett […]
Braves Minor League Recap: Tate Southisene Excels in Leadoff Spot
(1-9) Glendale Desert Dogs 8, (6-3) Surprise Saguaros 17 box score Statcast Safe to say that Glendale isn’t much of a contender in the Arizona Fall League. They dropped another game in blowout fashion, one which was sloppy at best due to the pitching staff allowing 13 walks. Braves representatives did provide bright spots, however, […]
Are you gratified that the Dodgers won’t three-peat?
There were a lot of comments at some point in the past eleven months or so that said something like, “Who cares about xyz, you’ll do it for a chance to lose to the Dodgers in October…” Well, it’s October, and… only the Braves lost to the Dodgers therein. Every other team either lost to […]
Braves News: NLCS concludes, Hiromi Itoh rumors, and more
Half of the World Series matchup is set after the Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-4 to sweep the NLCS.

MLB Postseason ALCS/NLCS Chat and Discussion: October 15
Weather in Cleveland means daytime baseball (LCS Edition). The Cleveland Guardians will host the Tampa Bay Rays for Game 3 of the ALCS. The Guards took Game 1 before the Rays evened things up by taking Game 2. To accommodate some rain, they will play at 1 pm ET. As a result, NLCS Game 4 […]
Braves seen as “potential fit” for NPB pitcher Hiromi Itoh
The offseason is here and plenty of folks have opinions on what the Atlanta Braves should do during the offseason. Because there’s no such thing as having enough pitching and the fact that Braves President/GM Alex Anthopoulos recently stated that both Spencer Schwellenbach and Spencer Strider may not be reliable options to get a ton […]
Are the Dodgers going to get swept?
Winning four MLB games in a row isn’t easy. It’s probably even harder against the Dodgers. In theory, anyway. The Brewers may not have broken much of a sweat, since they’ve outhomered the Dodgers what, five to nothing, while winning the first three games of the NLCS. There aren’t many sweeps-in-a-seven-game series. Under the current […]
Braves News: Gold Gloves, Arbitration Estimates, more

NLCS Game 3 chat and discussion
Well, well, well. The Los Angeles Dodgers now have their backs against the wall and are starting off the Dodger Stadium portion of the 2026 National League Championship Series down 2-0 to the Milwaukee Brewers. Can Blake Snell and Shohei Ohtani figure it out? Will Robert Gasser, old friend William Contreras and the rest of […]
Chris Sale and multiple Braves teammates announced as finalists for Gold Glove, MLBPA awards
With the MLB postseason no longer delivering frenetic news days given that we’re in League Championship Series season, where there’s not even two games on most days, it’s time for the faux-anticipation of dropping finalists (not winners, finalists) for certain end-of-season awards. We’ve got two on the docket today. First, Gold Gloves. I have a […]
MLB Trade Rumors shares arbitration projections for five eligible Braves players
With the offseason underway (for our Atlanta Braves, at least), it’s time to start looking forward to the future — well, as much as you can when you consider what awaits the baseball world once the start of December rolls around. Either way, teams are going to be keeping it business as usual until that […]
What’s your main memory from the first Braves season you watched?
I had this weird thought the other day: 2026 was someone’s first Braves season. And, I mean, yeah, there’s a possibility that “first Braves season” meant the first time being aware of the Braves as a small child — which is probably fun in the moment, but won’t stick as a “season” in the memory […]
Braves News: Starting pitching predictions, Arizona Fall League, and more
Despite an early exit in the NLDS for the Atlanta Braves, the Postseason rolled on with Game 2 of the ALCS on Tuesday. The Tampa Bay Rays defeated the Cleveland Guardians 3-1 to even the series.

Braves Minor League Recap: Drake, Carey Appear on Monday
Yesterday saw limited action in the Arizona Fall League, as only one of the three games on the schedule got played – and that game was shortened to seven innings. However we did get to watch a pair of Atlanta Braves prospects as Isaiah Drake got the start in left field for the Glendale Desert […]
How many starting pitchers will the Braves add this offseason?
Sticking with the rotation since there isn’t really much else to discuss… Didier Fuentes may or may not be ticketed for the rotation in 2027, assuming there is a 2027 season. Chris Sale can’t fend off Father Time forever, but he’s done a good job of it so far. Grant Holmes exists. Bryce Elder exists. […]
Braves News: Austin Riley, Acquiring Arms, More
Once again, the Braves are entering an offseason where many questions need to be answered. And unfortunately, many of those questions will be focused on how reliable talents already with the Braves will be moving forward.
