Latest blog entries from Atlanta teams across every league
We’re officially one night’s sleep away from getting the Grapefruit League underway for the Atlanta Braves. With that being said, the team sure took their time before letting everybody know who’d be playing and most importantly, who’d be starting on the mound over in Port Charlotte against the Tampa Bay Rays. As it turns out, […]
News came out today that California prep prospect Jared Gridlinger is set to reclassify and move from the 2027 MLB Draft into the 2026 MLB Draft. Gridlinger ranked as high as No. 3 overall and No. 1 prep player in the 2027 class, and adds another premium talent into what is already a strong draft […]
Jessie Bates is one of the most highly decorated safeties in the NFL, so it’s no surprise he was once again in 2025 even if his play dropped off a bit. Xavier Watts was a touted safety prospect, but he still managed to surprise en route to a compelling rookie campaign. Safety was a story […]
The Atlanta Braves got a taste of the future of umpiring this week, testing Major League Baseball’s new Automated Ball Strike Challenge System during Spring Training in North Port. The system gives teams two opportunities per game to challenge a called ball or strike and forced Braves players and coaches to begin adjusting to what […]

Miami entered the break just two games above .500 at 29-27, including just a 4-5 record over its previous nine […] The post GAME PREVIEW: Heat exit All-Star break on road against Hawks appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .

The Atlanta Hawks were back from the All-Star break, and they had a matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers. So far this season, the Hawks have had the 76ers’ number, and they were looking to add on that success in this matchup. The Hawks were healthy coming into the game, except for Jonathan Kuminga, who will […]
So, who forgot to tell the Sixers the All-Star break ended? Philadelphia dropped their first game after the break 117-107 to the Atlanta Hawks Thursday night. Tyrese Maxey had some flashy highlights amidst a sluggish shooting night, leading the Sixers with 28 shooting 8-of-23 from the floor. VJ Edgecombe, off of strong first and fourth […]

Boston Celtics convert John Tonje and add Dalano Banton on 10-day deals as the 76ers sign Tyrese Martin and the Hawks promote Caleb Houstan. Full NBA roster breakdown and cap analysis.
A major reason behind the failures of previous Atlanta Falcons coaching staffs was their inability to get the team on the right quarterback timeline. Arthur Smith went into a critical make-or-break third season in 2023 with a first-year starter in Desmond Ridder. Raheem Morris did the same in 2025 with Michael Penix after trotting out […]
So much kvetching about the state of the rotation, which is understandable given the injury news before Spring Training games have even begun. But, let’s pivot slightly: we know the deals that have already happened. Which ones should the Braves have made? The list of signed free agent starters is here: https://www.fangraphs.com/roster-resource/free-agent-tracker?sign=signed&pos=sp For me, the […]
It didn’t take long for the good feelings about the Falcons outside linebacker group to curdle. James Pearce Jr.‘s arrested on very serious charges of stalking his ex-girlfriend, ramming her car, and resisting arrest means his future with the team is extremely cloudy just weeks after he finished 2025 with a rookie Falcons record of […]
Well, that’s not going to help start the second half on the right foot. The Sixers have ruled Joel Embiid out for their first game back out of the All-Star break against the Atlanta Hawks with shin soreness. While he hasn’t been ruled out for any further games, the team has released a short update. […]
We’re approaching the start of free agency, and the Falcons have many looming questions to address. Kevin Knight is joined by Tre’Shon Diaz to discuss Atlanta’s biggest offseason priorities, including what to do with Kyle Pitts, the top needs in free agency, and how to navigate the salary cap. Fellow Falcoholics, welcome to another episode […]
As we gear up for free agency, it’s only right to start looking at players who might be good fits for our favorite team. We did that in late January when the Falcons first hired Kevin Stefanski, but hadn’t gone back and looked at impending free agents from the Jets who might be interested in […]
So, I guess they’re really doing this, huh? We’ve been hearing more and more from the Braves (particularly President of Baseball Operations/GM Alex Anthopoulos) about how the club is reportedly pretty confident in their internal options and are willing to let the fifth spot in the rotation be an open competition instead of going out […]
When the Falcons promoted longtime scout and executive Tokunbo Abanikanda to director of scouting, it left a vacancy in the front office for the director of college scouting role. We just had to wait to see whether the Falcons filled that position with an internal promotion or an external hire, and now we have our […]
The Atlanta Braves made a minor move on Tuesday and added infielder Dominic Smith on their list of non-roster invites to spring training. Smith, 30, spent the 2025 season in San Francisco, where he appeared in 63 games. He spent the majority of his time at first base, but also appeared in right field and […]
The Atlanta Falcons have seen a pair of assistants on the defensive side of the ball depart, losing passing game coordinator Mike Rutenberg to the Browns and now assistant head coach on the defensive side of the ball Jerry Gray to the 49ers. Rutenberg left to be the defensive coordinator in Cleveland, while Gray will […]
At various points across January and February, the Atlanta Hawks looked like a team that needed the All-Star break. Heading into the break on the back of a three-game losing streak would be one such indicator that the break was a welcome one, and could use the team to rest, while also looking fondly at […]
The outfield figures to be a position of strength for the Atlanta Braves as they head into the 2026 season. The signing of Mike Yastrzemski could end up being a bit of a coup, as Yaz can provide some solid production at any part of the outfield. As a matter of fact, Yaz figures to […]
Back on Friday, Alex Anthopoulos spoke with the media and I got the chance to ask him a couple of questions, which you can check out at this link. I also promised that I’d have some thoughts from Walt Weiss coming as well, since he spoke with the media right after AA got done talking. […]
