Every moment in a game is another opportunity to shift the momentum. And for eight frames, the Yankees had and wasted their chances to do so, but one big inning was all it took to survive and eventually win it in extras. Down 2-0 in the ninth, the Yankees refused to quit, rattled the Braves […]
With Tyler Mahle making his Atlanta debut and New York’s Max Fried facing his former team for the first time, it’s safe to say Friday night’s series opener between the Braves and Yankees was among the most anticipated pitching matchups of the season. Both of them more than delivered on the high expectations. Each starter […]
We’re in for a major “old friend” alert Friday night as former World Series champion Braves pitcher Max Fried faces his former team for the first time as his second season with the Yankees nears the homestretch. On the Braves side, Tyler Mahle, acquired from the Giants ahead of the trade deadline, will make his […]

It’s Unofficial 1990s Throwback Night at Yankee Stadium on Friday, as the Atlanta Braves are in town to face the Yankees for a three-game set. These showdowns always bring to mind fond—for us anyway—memories of the 1996 and 1999 Fall Classics, when the Yankees came back from down 0-2 to win their first championship in […]
Falcons Falcons president of football Matt Ryan said he had not planned to enter an executive role after retirement but felt he might regret turning down the opportunity. “I didn’t have grand aspirations after finishing up playing of kind of getting into this,” Ryan said. “But that’s how life works. You don’t know what’s in […]

Even these days, interleague matchups aren’t exactly common, making this the first time that Max Fried will face his former club since joining the Yankees. Obviously it isn’t as special as that first visit to Truist Park (which he made at the 2025 All-Star Game), but it adds a layer to this game—the unique context […]
Surviving the MLB trade deadline is one thing, but trades, free agency and tough roster decisions could have these 30 players wearing different uniforms in 2027.
Atlanta et Max Fried walk in free agency, and so far, they aren't better for it.
Pistons Restricted free agent Jalen Duren could always accept his $9.6 million qualifying offer and become an unrestricted free agent next summer if he can’t reach a long-term agreement with the Pistons. But people around the NBA apparently don’t think that’s a particularly good idea. One Western Conference executive told Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints that […]

As the Braves kick off a three-game series on the road against the Yankees, Ha-Seong Kim will make his return to the lineup, playing shortstop and hitting ninth. It’ll be his first game action since June 30, not long after which he was placed on the injured list with middle finger inflammation. Before his IL […]
The Eastern Conference will be much, much better this season. Plenty of teams around the Heat improved, namely the Philadelphia 76ers and Atlanta Hawks. But Miami also improved by making the biggest trade of the summer, acquiring Giannis Antetokounmpo away from the Milwaukee Bucks. There is expected to be 11 teams competing for eight spots. […]

According to Adam Schefter, the Saints are signing LB Deion Jones to a one-year deal on Friday. He’s now been under contract with all four NFC South teams throughout his career. Jones, 31, is a former second-round pick of the Falcons back in 2016. He was entering the final year of his four-year, $4.546 million […]

The injury bug is rolling through the Falcons locker room in the first week of training camp, with Jalon Walker being the most notable loss. He suffered a torn ACL earlier this week and will miss the entire 2026 campaign. Both Tua Tagovailoa and Michael Penix Jr. are less than 100%. The back injury for […]
It’s usually a bad time for the Miami Marlins to run into the Atlanta Braves, based on how these two teams have fared against each other for nearly a decade-and-a-half now. It was an especially bad time for Miami this time around as the Braves came into this series looking hot and playing well. As […]
The Falcons announced on Friday that they have released 2022 second-round pick Troy Andersen and signed wide receiver Kristian Wilkerson. We have made the following roster moves: – Released Troy Andersen– Signed Kristian Wilkersonhttps://t.co/qPic7TsZA5 pic.twitter.com/bBDhmd8BSK — Atlanta Falcons (@AtlantaFalcons) August 7, 2026 Andersen was the 58th overall pick, and his story is a frustrating one.

From all the reports that have come to light since the trade deadline, the Braves’ strategy doesn’t seem too difficult to understand. They were after the very few true ace-type pitchers on the market, targeting Tarik Skubal, Jacob deGrom, and Logan Webb. If they weren’t able to land someone they viewed as a game-changer, they […]
The 2026 MLB trade deadline has come and gone, and for much of Braves Country, it feels like the Atlanta Braves once again failed to make a meaningful splash. Last season, in the middle of an injury plagued and disappointing campaign, many fans wanted Atlanta to become sellers by moving impending free agents and any […]

In the press conference immediately following the MLB Trade Deadline, Atlanta Braves President of Baseball Operations Alex Anthopoulos stated that outside of Tarik Skubal, there was only one other starting pitcher (who he refused to name at the time) who they viewed as an “impact starter” at this year’s trade deadline. There was a lot […]
Troy Andersen arrived in the NFL with sky-high potential and many questions about whether he’d live up to it. We saw brief, tantalizing glimpses of the kind of player he could be, but injuries ultimately derailed his career as a Falcon. Now his time with Atlanta is over. Per Will McFadden with the Falcons, Andersen […]
Cam Caminiti had a matchup with Jesus Made and the Biloxi Shuckers in his first taste of Double-A action, and he rose to the challenge nicely with a solid start. Caminiti’s pitching helped the Clingstones stay in position for a walk-off win. In Single-A Davis Polo kept his magnificent run of pitching going with six […]
The Braves don’t really know what they want to do at shortstop. It’s been that way for almost a half-decade, but the good news right now is that at least they have options. Rookie Jim Jarvis did enough to win the starting job while Ronald Acuña Jr. was out. Acuña’s absence forced Mauricio Dubon into […]
The Nats playoff dreams got buried this week with a 1-7 road trip against the Braves and Phillies. These veteran laden squads taught the young Nats a lesson and showed they were not ready yet. In a season where the Nats have taken so many steps in the right direction, winning against divisional foes remains […]
There might be some debate about the top overall prospect in the Braves system, but there’s none when it comes to the top pitching prospect. That title has belonged to Cam Caminiti since the start of the season, and with Didier Fuentes and JR Ritchie graduating from prospect status, there isn’t even a close second […]
Tonight, the Braves will face Max Fried for the first time ever — they missed facing him when the Yankees visited Atlanta last year. (The three games in that series involved a bullpen game, a Will Warren start, and a Marcus Stroman start.) Fried’s been a Yankee for about a season and a half now, […]
