According to Ian Rapoport, the Atlanta Falcons have inked a three-year, $54 million contract extension with Kyle Pitts. The #Falcons and star TE Kyle Pitts have agreed to terms on a 3-year, $54M contract. Pitts will not play on the $15M franchise tag and instead receives $36M fully guaranteed over the next two seasons. The […]
The trade deadline is a little over a month away, and some of the Braves flaws are finally starting to show following a torrid start to the season, both with the pitching staff and the lineup. So, it should come as no surprise that when former GM Jim Bowden asked all 30 front offices their […]
The Braves announced today that Kyle Farmer will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Columbus. INF Kyle Farmer today begins a rehabilitation assignment with Double-A Columbus. The #Braves also transferred LHP Danny Young’s rehabilitation assignment from the FCL Braves to Columbus. — Atlanta Braves (@Braves) June 23, 2026 That by itself isn’t all that interesting. […]
For Alex Anthopoulos, contract extensions have to be on his mind regarding several current Braves. Ozzie Albies has just one more year left on his deal and is once again proving he’s one of the best second basemen in the game. The Braves aren’t going to find a better option, and he’s been a staple […]
If the Braves want to win another World Series, they need to add a starting pitcher at the trade deadline. And not just any starting pitcher — a true frontline arm capable of winning a game by himself behind Chris Sale. Nobody fits that description better than Tarik Skubal, who most expect to be traded […]
If you stayed up until nearly 1:00 AM Eastern to watch the Braves try to pull out a win in San Diego, I apologize. But I was right there with you. Grant Holmes started the game, and it was a very Grant Holmes type of outing. He didn’t make it through five innings, largely due […]
The Braves have a starting pitching problem. June has exposed that clearly, with the rotation currently sporting a 5.80 ERA on the month. Outside of Chris Sale, there’s not a single arm on the roster the Braves should feel comfortable handing the ball to in a playoff game. There’s an expectation they’ll be one of […]
No organization that’s been around as long as the Braves avoids a few miscues when it comes to trades and free agency. B.J. Upton and Sean Murphy are a couple that come to mind off the top of the head in recent memory — but Ha-Seong Kim is quickly working his way up the list. The […]
The Hawks made their first two significant moves of the offseason on Sunday, bringing back CJ McCollum on a one-year deal and trading for Aaron Wiggins. The roster already looks deeper than it did when the season ended a couple of months ago, and more moves are on the horizon. Picking up Jonathan Kuminga‘s $24 […]
The Braves have been linked to All-Star outfielder Byron Buxton for years now. The reasoning has always been obvious. The Twins haven’t exactly been championship contenders, while the Braves have been and desperately needed an upgrade in the outfield. Add in the fact that Buxton is a Georgia native with a full no-trade clause, and […]
One of the most pleasant surprises over the first two months of the Braves season was the resurgence of Bryce Elder back into his 2023 All-Star form — except this time there were actually signs the success was sustainable. When Elder had his brief moment in the sun a few years back, all the underlying […]
If one thing has become clear over the Braves recent rough stretch of play, it’s that they have a lot of work left to do at the trade deadline. The need to upgrade their left field platoon and DH. Some more relief help should always be viewed as a plus. They should probably take a […]
It was never a secret that the Atlanta Hawks would be among the most active teams this offseason. The work began in the front office, with the team extending general manager Onsi Saleh, who was already drawing interest from other franchises after just one year as Atlanta’s lead decision-maker. The Hawks then followed that by […]
The Braves revealed the plan for Spencer Strider moving forward. He’ll be shut down for the next four weeks, then take another MRI. If everything checks out, he’ll resume throwing. Following a consultation with Dr. Keith Meister today, RHP Spencer Strider will be shut down from throwing for four weeks and then undergo a follow-up […]
We finally have the information we’ve all been waiting for on Spencer Strider, and it’s the best possible scenario. According to Mark Bowman, Strider avoided structural damage to the elbow. It does not look like he is going to need surgery, and his visit to Dr. Keith Meister is just focused on coming up with […]
The most glaring need for the Braves as the trade deadline approaches is starting pitching. Their current rotation is Chris Sale and hope for the best, with 35-year-old Martin Perez their second most reliable starter. That is not going to cut it come October — and while some internal options offer a potential solution, betting […]
According to Fox 5, Falcons star pass rusher James Pearce Jr. will be in attendance at mandatory minicamp this week. James Pearce will reportedly be at #Falcons mandatory minicamp this week, per FOX 5 Atlanta. — Miles Garrett (@MilesGarrettTV) June 15, 2026 In late May, it was reported that the charges against James Pearce Jr. […]
The Braves are experiencing a type of adversity they haven’t faced much all season. Arguably their two best players are on the IL in Drake Baldwin and Ronald Acuña Jr., Spencer Strider just went down with what looks to be a season-ending injury, and they’ve lost four of their last five. The holes on the […]
We are still awaiting the final diagnosis on the injury Spencer Strider suffered on Friday against the Mets. He’s already been placed on the 15-day IL with what the Braves are calling right elbow inflammation, but Walt Weiss said ahead of Sunday’s game that they don’t have a “definitive” answer yet. Strider will be evaluated […]
For the first time all season, the Braves are facing significant adversity. Not only have they lost three straight for just the second time in 2026, but they may have also lost Spencer Strider for the remainder of the season. Strider gave up seven runs in just three innings, but the real story was the […]
The trade conversations surrounding Giannis Antetokounmpo have escalated significantly over the last few days. While Miami looked like the clear frontrunner, Boston is making a late push and is now being viewed as a legitimate threat. For that to happen, Jaylen Brown would have to be involved — which is where the Hawks enter the […]
The Braves announced a slew of roster moves ahead of their series with the Mets. Hurston Waldrep has returned from his rehab assignment and been optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett — really just a procedural move. He threw 53 pitches over 3.2 innings in his third rehab start on Thursday and will need at least a […]
The Braves have officially announced that Drake Baldwin will begin a rehab assignment on Saturday with the Gwinnett Stripers. ‼️ BALDY'S BACK ‼️ The 2025 NL Rookie of the Year is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment with Gwinnett tomorrow in Jacksonville, presented by @NorthsideHosp. 📰: https://t.co/g1ZpPr2DTQ pic.twitter.com/fHrGN3Htb2 — Gwinnett Stripers (@GoStripers) June 12, 2026 […]
