Braves hoping rookie Jim Jarvis can save them at shortstop
Let’s take a stroll down memory lane to 11 months ago: the Braves — expected sellers at the trade deadline — decided to essentially stand pat. In fact, they actually added just as much as they sent away, acquiring reliever Tyler Kinley in a trade with the Rockies. The only player they traded was Rafael […]
Reynaldo Lopez, Hurston Waldrep give Braves rotation reason for hope

MLB insider: Rival executives view Braves as “favorite” to trade for Tarik Skubal
The crowned jewel of the trade deadline will be the reigning back-to-back AL Cy Young award winner Tarik Skubal. There’s an off chance the Tigers decide not to move him if they get back into playoff contention over the next month, but even that might not be enough. Detroit knows they have no chance of […]
MLB insider lists starting pitching trade candidates not named Tarik Skubal
Legitimate trade conversations aren’t going to happen for at least a few weeks, mostly because there are only a handful of teams that know exactly where they stand. The expanded playoffs — combined with the absolutely dreadful American League — have just about everyone still believing they are just one winning streak away from getting […]
Braves: A lot of positive signs from AJ Smith-Shawver in first rehab start
The Braves are desperately looking for anything positive to hang onto right now, and their best hope is guys returning from injury.

We missed […]
Braves continue skid, Ronald Acuña Jr. injury update
In the span of a month, the Braves have turned into a team that’s painful to watch for three hours every night. The rotation is disgusting, the offense belongs in Triple-A. The bullpen… well, we’re not talking about the few good things right now. All of that continued on Tuesday night as the Braves opened […]

Braves: Eric Hartman continues to soar up prospect rankings
About a month ago, Braves top prospect Eric Hartman entered Baseball America’s list of the top 100 prospects in the game.

Worst Free Agent Signing In Braves History: Ha Seong Kim Is Making His Case
There weren’t too many groans when the Braves decided to ink Ha-Seong Kim to a one-year, $20 million deal to return for the 2026 season.

Most Likely Braves Trade Partners With A Month Until The Trade Deadline
We are a little over a month away from the MLB trade deadline, and if June has taught us anything, it’s that the Braves need a lot of help. The rotation must be upgraded.

Alex Anthopoulos on AJ Smith-Shawver, Braves rotation plans
The Braves will be happy once the calendar flips to July in hopes that their fortunes will change after one of their worst all-around months over the last decade. It also means they are one step closer to getting some reinforcements in the form of injured players returning and, of course, the trade deadline. Among […]
Braves offensive collapse headlines a nightmare June
The Braves should be eager to get home after yet another dismal road trip that saw them go 1-5 out west, much of which can be attributed to a struggling offense that scored just seven runs in five of their games. That’s probably the most shocking aspect of Atlanta’s recent rough patch. The starting pitching […]

Hurston Waldrep back, Robert Suarez to the IL, Braves snap losing streak
Yesterday was an interesting day for the Atlanta Braves that started with some mixed news, as Robert Suarez was placed on the IL with elbow inflammation and Hurston Waldrep was added to the active roster.

10 Losses In 13 Games: What’s The Panic Meter At For The Braves?
It wasn’t long ago that the Braves had the best record in baseball and a double-digit cushion in the NL East — sporting a rotation, bullpen, and offense that were all at or near the top of the rankings. That all feels like a distant memory now, with the Braves losers of 10 of their […]
Hawks get rave reviews for draft from ESPN
Is grading a draft class before they’ve stepped on an NBA floor an incredible waste of time? Yes. Are we going to discuss it 100% of the time? Also, yes.

Braves set to make several changes to their rotation
Coming into the season, the Braves rotation was a significant concern, especially after the injuries to Spencer Schwellenbach and Hurston Waldrep.
