In our last installment, we talked about Anthony Rizzo’s appearance against the Braves April 28, 2021, and his famous strikeout of Freddie Freeman.

Atlanta’s list of candidates keeps growing, and they’re not shying away from scouring the ranks of defensive-minded coaches for their head coach vacancy. The latest candidate is an interesting one, as the team is one of eight (!) to request an interview with Chargers defensive coordinator Jesse Minter. The longtime Harbaugh disciple—he was with John […]
The Braves made a trade on Tuesday. However, it was more minor roster shuffling than anything. Waldichuk was actually claimed last week by Atlanta while Wisely was DFA’d. So this simply was to make room on the roster. However, now with Vidal Brujan and Brett Wisely no longer on the roster, it will be interesting […]

The Tampa Bay Rays acquired infielder Brett Wisely and left-handed pitcher Ken Waldichuk from the Atlanta Braves in exchange for cash considerations or a player to be named later (PTBNL).

John Harbaugh was bound to be a candidate of interest for every single team with an opening. Over 18 years in Baltimore, Harbaugh went 180-113 with a 13-11 postseason record, including a Super Bowl win back in 2012. He only had three seasons of under-.500 ball in that span, presided over some truly great teams […]
It’s been quite a while since Pierce Johnson was actually in the Chicago Cubs organization, and he’s made stops in San Francisco, Japan, San Diego, Colorado, and Atlanta since then, but he’s still an old friend.

Ah, Joe Jimenez. The Braves have gone on a bit of a bullpen construction-slash-reconstruction spree so far this offseason, re-adding Raisel Iglesias and Tyler Kinley while committing big bucks to Robert Suarez. They also brought in Joel Payamps late last season and re-signed him for something notably above league minimum, and Ian Hamilton is hanging […]
Over at MLB.com, Mark Bowman discussed a few interesting news nuggets among many offseason topics.

The hope is that once Murphy […]
