Latest blog entries from Atlanta teams across every league
As of today, Trae Young has missed the last 22 games after suffering an MCL sprain in the fifth game of the season. The Hawks have gone 13-9 without him, but there’s no question his return will be a big boost to a team looking to push their way up towards the top of the […]
The NFL Playoffs are rapidly approaching, so it’s a busy time in the NFL. A chilly Week 15 saw LSU guys experience a wide range of football emotions. We’re gonna break it all down game-by-game. Falcons 29 at Buccaneers 28 Deion Jones was second on the team with eight tackles against the team that drafted […]
Austin Riley holds the largest contract in Braves history, and is tied for Matt Olson with the highest salary on the Club. Austin Riley also had a second straight disappointing, injury-shortened season. After 2025, Riley and the Braves are still linked for seven years. At this point, it is what it is, but the Braves […]
The Braves have added Martin Maldonado to the organization, per report. Martin Maldonado, a catcher for 15 years in Major League Baseball, will join the Braves as Special Assistant for Major League Operations. This front office role helps teams with team strategy and acts as an “ear to the ground” for front offices in the […]
Ha-Seong Kim is with the Atlanta Braves for at least the 2026 season and hoo boy, this is a signing that they really needed. While Braves President/GM Alex Anthopoulos publicly stated that their primary focus was pitching (and while they haven’t picked up a starter yet, they have improved their bullpen with the addition of […]
The Phillies-Braves rivalry seemed to take a nap last year, thanks both to a down year from the Atlantas and the increasing threat of the Mets. But rivalry never dies, and neither do the Braves. They’ve been active in the free agent market, signing Mike Yastrzemski, Robert Suarez, and Ha-Seong Kim (well, a re-signing in […]
Braves Franchise History 1995 – The Braves trade Kent Mercker to the Orioles in exchange for Joe Borowski and Rachaad Stewart. Merker spent the first seven years of his career with the Braves where he went 31-25 with a 3.49 ERA in 515 ⅔ innings. He appeared in 14 games for the Orioles in 1996 […]
Three games to go, 48 sacks already accumulated, and a chance to break a long-standing franchise record. In a year where the Falcons have not given us much to cheer about, their pass rush has been a shining exception, one that provides real intrigue over the final three weeks of the season. Ten players have […]
Another slow Tuesday on the news front calls for a continuation of our Atlanta Braves player review series. This week, we take a look at Ozzie Albies, who ended his season with an unfortunate hand injury. More Braves News: Our draft target series continues with shortstop Eric Becker out of the University of Virginia. Gabe […]
Sitting at five wins, the Falcons now face a Cardinals team that has been in many games, but has lost 11 of its last 12. The Falcons will get a good test against an Arizona passing attack that can cause problems before they face the Rams in primetime, but this is another winnable game as […]
This is officially a summoning circle for another nighttime Braves acquisition. Let’s see it happen, y’all. In all seriousness, I hope everybody’s having a lovely evening. Here’s a random clip:
The Falcons have been eliminated from the playoffs and have nothing left to play for in 2025, but the final three games are still important. Kevin Knight and Tre’Shon Diaz discuss what’s worth saving from the 2025 Falcons, including Kyle Pitts, Zane Gonzalez, the young players all over the defense, and the defensive coaching staff. […]
Well, the Braves plugged their starting shortstop hole with Ha-Seong Kim. Are they spent out, other than minor reliever-type moves? I asked about another sizable reliever deal earlier, but the offseason isn’t quite over, so really, we’re just talking about the title at this point: is it going to be relatively quiet from now until […]
The Braves made it clear since the start of the off-season that improving their shortstop situation was a priority. And on Monday, they ensure that would be the case. The Braves resigned Ha-Seong Kim to a one year, $20M deal to return as their starting shortstop. Add in the acquisition of Mauricio Dubon a few […]
Braves Franchise History 2013 – The Braves sign pitcher Gavin Floyd. 2017 – The Braves acquire first baseman Adrian Gonzalez, shortstop Charlie Culberson and pitchers Scott Kazmir and Brandon McCarthy in exchange for outfielder Matt Kemp. MLB History 1926 – Judge Landis is given a new seven-year term as commissioner with a raise to $65,000. […]
Here’s a list of the current Nittany Lions in the NFL listed by 53-man roster: *Just a reminder that again this season, I will not include players like Juwan Johnson and KeAndre Lambert-Smith that did not finish their college career at Penn State* Arizona Cardinals: Blake Gillikin, PJ Mustipher Atlanta Falcons: Arnold Ebiketie Baltimore Ravens: […]
We have reached December 16th, one day after players who were signed in free agency can be included in trade and 52 days until the trade deadline on February 5th. For the Hawks, they have two players who meet the former criterium: Nickeil Alexander-Walker (highly unlikely to be traded given his production and contract length) […]
In a move that felt like it was coming all offseason, the Atlanta Braves are finally signing 30-year-old free agent shortstop Ha-Seong Kim. It’s a one-year deal, but according to Jon Heyman, it’s for $20 million … a very good get for Kim, but also a sign of the weakness of the free agent middle-infield class. Ha-Seong Kim (Back) to the Braves Ha-Seong Kim had a bit of a strange year. Also a free agent last winter, Kim signed a two-year, $29M contract with the Rays that included an op...
The Player: Drew Dalman was a 4th-round pick out of Stanford by the Falcons. After four years in Atlanta, he signed a three-year deal as a free agent with Chicago. Some reports note that he took less money to play with Caleb Williams and to work with Ben Johnson. The Case For Him: Dalman was […]
The Mets bolstered their outfield depth and defense today by adding outfielder Cristian Pache to a minor league contract. Pache, who last played in the majors in 2024, has played for the Braves, Athletics, Phillies, Orioles, and Marlins. The contract also includes an invitation to major league spring training. Pache is a defensive specialist with […]
The Braves didn’t make many notable changes to their roster between 2024 and 2025 — what they changed was largely under the hood, so to speak, with some pretty awful results. That said, the one guy they did add, Jurickson Profar, could’ve been read as a portent of those under-the-hood changes. Profar was suspended for […]
The Atlanta Hawks secured a 120–117 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday night at State Farm Arena, improving their record and sweeping the season series against Philadelphia to date. The contest featured multiple lead changes and sustained intensity, with Atlanta relying on a dominant first quarter and balanced scoring to hold off a late […]
As the offseason rolls along, the Braves have been one of baseball’s most active teams. However, needs remain, including another starting pitcher. One name that made some sense for Atlanta was Merrill Kelly. However, he signed a two year deal to return to Arizona. There are plenty of names at various levels that could make […]
This is how bad things have gotten for the Arizona Cardinals. At 3-11, with three games remaining, they are at home against another miserable team, the Atlanta Falcons, and are home underdogs. That’s right. The Cardinals opened as 1.5-point underdogs ahead of their last home game, a matchup where the Falcons at 5-9 are still […]
Braves Franchise History 1948 – The Dodgers trade Pete Reiser to the Braves for outfielder Myron McCormick. The marvelously talented but reckless Reiser crashed into too many outfield walls and, according to Red Smith, was carried off on a stretcher 11 times. 1960 – The Braves acquire shortstop Roy McMillan and a player to be […]
