MLB Pipeline names Braves prospect most likely to be traded
Over his tenure as general manager, Alex Anthopoulos has refused to trade his best prospects — and more often than not, he’s been right to do so. Ninety-five percent of the young talent he’s included in trades has gone on to amount to very little, while the guys he’s held onto have turned into superstars. […]
If Alex Anthopoulos runs the 2021 playbook again, the Braves are in trouble
We are starting to slowly see some action as the August 3rd trade deadline inches near, and by the time we reach the weekend, things should be going full throttle, with Braves GM Alex Anthopoulos at the center of it all. Or will he be? In a recent piece from Mark Feinsand of MLB.com, an […]
Braves: Latest injury updates on Sean Murphy, Ha-Seong Kim
Sean Murphy has missed essentially the entire season, appearing in just four games. He didn’t make his first start of the campaign until May 4th after undergoing hip surgery in September of last year, and a week later, he found himself on the IL following a freak incident that resulted in a broken middle finger. […]
AJ Smith-Shawver optioned, will his next start be with the Braves?
The Braves split Wednesday’s doubleheader with the Mets on a day where pitching dominated, as both teams combined for just six runs over 18 innings. AJ Smith-Shawver was the one making his season debut in Game 1 — exactly 14 months removed from his last start for the Braves. It wasn’t flawless, but it was […]
Falcons: It’s looking highly unlikely Michael Penix Jr. is ready for Week 1
The Falcons entered the first day of training camp with third-stringer Jack Strand the only quarterback healthy enough to participate fully. The good news is Tua Tagovailoa is only dealing with a minor back injury, something he’s expected to return from next week. Michael Penix Jr.’s timeline, however, is looking much lengthier. The Falcons’ 8th […]
Braves top prospect Tate Southisene hits the IL
A year after being drafted, Tate Southisene is already being labeled by many as the top prospect in the organization, and the Braves’ decision to promote him to Double-A at just 19 years old suggested they might agree. Unfortunately, in his first game with the Columbus Clingstones, he was struck on the hand by a […]
Braves make big changes to lineup ahead of Game 2 versus Mets
After dropping Game 1 of Wednesday’s doubleheader against the Mets, the Braves have already released the lineup card for Game 2, which features several considerable changes. Sale gets the start ⤵️ pic.twitter.com/xzJBonfk9k — Atlanta Braves (@Braves) July 29, 2026 Drake Baldwin moves back into the leadoff spot, where he hit while Ronald Acuña Jr. was […]
Braves should feel good about first start from AJ Smith-Shawver
The Braves couldn’t get the job done for the second consecutive game against the Mets, falling in the first game of their doubleheader by a score of 3-2. The offense essentially didn’t show up to the ballpark. The only signs of life came in the sixth inning, when a Drake Baldwin double followed by a […]
Bijan Robinson a non-participant at training camp as he awaits new contract
We are one day into training camp, and it’s already a doozy inside Flowery Branch. The less-than-stellar news began when it was revealed that Tua Tagovailoa is dealing with a back injury. It’s not expected to keep him out for long, but with Michael Penix Jr. not ready to participate in team drills as he […]
Ken Rosenthal pushes back on potential trade between Braves and Blue Jays
On paper, the Braves and the Blue Jays make perfect sense as trade partners. The Braves are obvious buyers sitting atop the NL East, while the Blue Jays are in last place in the AL East and 5.5 games back of the final wild card spot with several teams between them. They are likely sellers, […]
Conor Essenburg, another Braves prospect enjoying a breakout campaign
Over the last several years, talented position player prospects in the Braves farm system have been few and far between. The good news is the couple they had — Michael Harris II and Drake Baldwin — turned into superstars. But the depth was severely lacking. That’s been flipped on its head this season. More than […]
Several injury updates and roster moves as Falcons training camp begins
A number of Falcons injury updates surfaced Wednesday in some form or fashion, beginning with the most important position on the field. As it stands, neither of Atlanta’s potential starting quarterbacks is healthy. Kevin Stefanski said on 92.9 The Game that Michael Penix Jr. still hasn’t been medically cleared for team drills, so he remains […]
One bold trade deadline prediction for the Braves
The Braves’ focus ahead of the trade deadline: pitching, pitching, and more pitching, with a little side of offense. The club needs to add someone who can, at the very least, platoon in left field and at DH, but their top priorities undoubtedly surround the rotation and a bullpen that’s struggled mightily over the last […]
The Braves’ division lead is back to 6.0, and the reinforcements keep coming
After nearly losing their entire 10.5-game lead in the NL East over the span of six weeks, the Braves have quietly pushed it back out to 6.0 games, thanks to some better play of their own and some really poor baseball from the Phillies, who’ve lost six of seven and can’t seem to find anything […]
Braves: Three trade hypotheticals for relievers
The four areas the Braves could stand to upgrade going into the trade deadline are the rotation, bullpen, shortstop, and left field. Yesterday, I came up with three trade hypotheticals for the top starting pitchers who could be available. Now it’s time to talk relievers. Mason Miller Braves receive: Mason Miller Padres receive: Eric Hartman, […]
Braves make two notable roster moves ahead of doubleheader with Mets
Unfortunately, Tuesday night’s clash with the Mets has already been postponed, but that does mean we get two games tomorrow between the division rivals, and the Braves are preparing accordingly with a couple of notable roster moves. First and foremost, AJ Smith-Shawver is expected to make his season debut — the first time he’ll be […]
Ken Rosenthal: Braves among five teams inquiring on Tarik Skubal
According to Ken Rosenthal, after the Tigers dropped their third consecutive game last night, the baseball world is officially on Tarik Skubal watch. “Until Tuesday, some rival executives resisted calling the Detroit Tigers on left-hander Tarik Skubal, trying to be respectful as the team fought to remain in contention,” Rosenthal writes for The Athletic. “With […]
Braves: Walt Weiss comments on concern surrounding Robert Suarez
It’s approaching the six-week mark since Robert Suarez last appeared for the Braves after being placed on the IL with elbow and forearm inflammation. Further tests revealed no structural damage, and it felt like something that was just going to need a couple of weeks of rest before he was back throwing again. The fact that […]
Tigers looking like sellers: 5 players Braves could target
There are a ton of teams still teetering on the line of whether they’ll be buyers or sellers leading up to the trade deadline. None of them are garnering more attention than the Detroit Tigers, who just dropped their third game in a row on Monday night and are now six games back in the […]
New Falcons regime inherits the same old questions in 2026
Falcons beat reporter Josh Kendall was in charge of putting together the pre-training camp NFL power rankings for The Athletic as we inch closer to the preseason, and Atlanta was right about where you might expect at 24th — narrowly edging out the Saints, who were ranked 25th. — 24. Atlanta Falcons Last season: 8-9 […]
Could the Braves and Mets actually make a trade at the deadline?
Even though the Mets clobbered the Braves by 11 runs last night, they still sit 17.5 games back and are one of baseball’s for-sure sellers as Monday’s trade deadline approaches. But the Mets aren’t your typical sellers — they have a lot of valuable pieces that could attract any club, many of which should draw […]
Four players the Braves should stay away from at the trade deadline
Yesterday, I came up with a wish list for the Braves as they approach the trade deadline, laying out a dream target and a backup plan at each area of need. Now, here are five guys they should be staying away from. Mickey Moniak This is a tale as old as time. A guy who’s […]
Braves: Three Blockbuster Trade Hypotheticals For Starting Pitchers
We are days away from things really starting to heat up ahead of the MLB trade deadline, with the Braves expected to be at the forefront of conversations surrounding most every player who comes available. There’s a lot of work to be done in Atlanta if this team wants to challenge the Dodgers come October, […]
Report: Scouts from three teams watching Braves prospects ahead of deadline
According to Jesús Cano of The Athletic, there were several scouts from teams that could be looking to sell at this year’s trade deadline in Rome this weekend for a closer look at some of the Braves’ most talented prospects. “Scouts have flocked to Braves minor league affiliates,” Cano writes. “High-A Rome, which has the […]
Braves Trade Deadline Wish List
We are a week away from the trade deadline. The buying and selling teams are starting to become more obvious — and over the next three to four days, we should start seeing some significant trades completed. The Braves’ needs are obvious. They should be in the market for every frontline starting pitcher available, they […]
