Jurickson Profar, still under contract with the Atlanta Braves, heads to Venezuela for winter ball – his first game action since before the 2026 season – prompting questions about his role heading into 2027. Meanwhile, the Tampa Bay Rays move within one win of the World Series, leading the Guardians 3-2 in the ALCS, and former Mets manager Carlos Mendoza lands as the Philadelphia Phillies' new third‑base coach after being linked to the Seattle Mariners.
The Atlanta Braves are one of the most famous professional teams in sports history. Throughout their lengthy history, some of […]
One of the benefits of watching your team continue in the playoffs is that you don’t have to think about the holes in your team until you exit. And once you do, you begin the arduous task of considering how it all went wrong. Dealing with the holes in the team can be pretty straightforward. […]
As we approach the offseason and it increasingly looks like we will get a window for transactions before a likely lockout in early December. Last time we had a CBA negotiation and associated lockout, there was a flurry of transactions before the lockout, as teams and players looked to lock in some certainty before an […]
The Atlanta Braves have already made some moves this offseason, according to the transaction log. Most notably, infielder Brett Wisely was selected to the major league roster. Outfielder DaShawn Keirsey Jr. was outrighted to Triple-A Gwinnett, and infielder Luke Williams elected free agency. Given his limited big league experience, the decision to add Wisely to […]
Atlanta Braves outfielder Jurickson Profar is still owed $15 million for 2027, yet nobody in the organization has reportedly heard from him. Two PED suspensions, a changed phone number, and a Venezuelan winter ball deal have made this offseason messy. “Jurickson Profar ‘disappeared off the face of the Earth’ after his 2nd PED suspension, per […]

The Detroit Tigers are adding former Major League Baseball catcher Martin Maldonado to their coaching staff as a quality control coach, reuniting the 40-year-old with manager AJ Hinch. Maldonado, who spent 14 seasons in MLB, will join Detroit after working as a special assistant with the Atlanta Braves during the 2026 season. The Athletic first […]

Rangers pitcher Jacob deGrom and Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies are among those we believe the Los Angeles Dodgers must pursue this offseason.
The Phillies in 2026 finished 15th in MLB with 105 stolen bases. They did not steal a base during the three-game wild card series against the Atlanta Braves. The full-season numbers do not tell the entire story. The Phillies in the first half were a top-ten team in stolen bases with 74. After the All-Star […]
The Atlanta Braves have been making some small and quiet moves with their roster since their elimination in the NLDS and here’s another one. After they selected Danny Young’s contract last week, the Braves have decided to do the same with Brett Wisely as well. DaShawn Keirsey Jr. ended up getting outrighted to Triple-A Gwinnett […]
The Braves won the NL East and defeated the Phillies in the wild card round before falling to the Dodgers in the NLDS. It was a nice return to form for the Braves after their injury-marred 76-86 season in 2025, but Atlanta will need to fill some roster holes and perhaps address some broader concerns […]
Ninety-four wins and a division title would satisfy most franchises in baseball. But when you’re the Braves — winners of 24 division titles and two World Series since 1991 — another quick postseason exit makes all of that regular-season success feel pretty hollow. Especially when you look at how the season actually played out. The […]
(1-9) Glendale Desert Dogs 8, (6-3) Surprise Saguaros 17 box score Statcast Safe to say that Glendale isn’t much of a contender in the Arizona Fall League. They dropped another game in blowout fashion, one which was sloppy at best due to the pitching staff allowing 13 walks. Braves representatives did provide bright spots, however, […]
There were a lot of comments at some point in the past eleven months or so that said something like, “Who cares about xyz, you’ll do it for a chance to lose to the Dodgers in October…” Well, it’s October, and… only the Braves lost to the Dodgers therein. Every other team either lost to […]
Half of the World Series matchup is set after the Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-4 to sweep the NLCS. While the Atlanta Braves are sitting this one out, the hot stove is beginning to simmer as the club has been connected to a pitcher from Nippon Professional Baseball. Hiromi Itoh was reportedly […]
The New York Yankees could put together a beefy trade package for Ronald Acuña Jr. that just might tempt the Atlanta Braves.
The Braves added infielder Brett Wisely to their 40-man roster, according to the MLB.com transaction tracker. Atlanta sent outfielder DaShawn Keirsey Jr. outright off the roster in a corresponding move, suggesting they quietly placed him on waivers this week. The tracker also indicates that Luke Williams officially elected free agency, a formality after he cleared outright waivers yesterday. […]
It took roughly two weeks for Phillies President of Baseball Operations Dave Dombrowski to address the media after Chris Sale and the Atlanta Braves ended their season. Dombrowski answered questions for slightly less than an hour on wide ranging issues between Trea Turner, the coaching staff, and the farm system. They really like Bryan Rincon. […]
The offseason is here and plenty of folks have opinions on what the Atlanta Braves should do during the offseason. Because there’s no such thing as having enough pitching and the fact that Braves President/GM Alex Anthopoulos recently stated that both Spencer Schwellenbach and Spencer Strider may not be reliable options to get a ton […]
The Pittsburgh Pirates are on the couch watching the LCS once again this season. It’s been 34 years since the Pirates were in the NLCS themselves, where they lost to the Atlanta Braves in seven games. This season, however, they managed to play pretty well against the top teams in the league. Here’s a look […]
While Freddie Freeman continues to decline with the Los Angeles Dodgers, Matt Olson is in the middle of his prime for the Atlanta Braves, making the decision to let Freeman walk easier to digest for Braves fans.
Ronald Acuña Jr. — somewhat unfairly, considering how few Braves showed up to play all postseason — took the brunt of the criticism after Atlanta fell to the Dodgers in the NLDS. He didn’t come close to the standard he’s set for himself. This is a player who, when healthy, has been a top-five talent […]
As the postseason wraps up without the Braves, it’s beginning to get into the season for awards and a flurry of offseason activity before the seemingly inevitable lockout. Braves News The Braves had a few finalists for Gold Glove awards and Players Choice awards. MLBTR released their annual arbitration estimates, including for five Braves. MLB […]
The Braves sent utility player Luke Williams through outright waivers, according to the MLB.com transaction log. Atlanta designated him for assignment last week when they added Danny Young to the roster to keep him out of minor league free agency this offseason. Williams hasn’t technically elected free agency, according to the tracker, but it’s a formality that […]
The Atlanta Braves could decide to move on from Ronald Acuña Jr. after a brutal postseason, but it would require a massive haul. Which team can meet their price?
