After falling to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League Division Series, Atlanta must figure out how to turn a talented roster into a team capable of surviving October. […]

The Atlanta Braves are not longer in contention but there is still some fun playoff baseball to watch as the Los Angeles Dodgers are the visiting team against the Milwaukee Brewers. We already saw an insanely good pitching matchup yesterday, but we get another one today with Yoshinobu Yamamoto taking on Logan Henderson. Interestingly on […]
A retired MLB veteran believes Braves right fielder Ronald Acuna Jr. should be dealt to the Yankees this offseason.
Ever since the Braves won the World Series in 2021, two positions have been a persistent thorn in their side — shortstop and left field. And heading into the 2027 offseason, both are once again at the top of Alex Anthopoulos’ to-do list. It’s not for a lack of trying. Anthopoulos ran it back with […]
The Braves enter the offseason with far more questions than answers about their roster. Is it finally time to shake up this core and move one of their big pieces? Who in the world can they actually count on in the rotation? What does the future hold for Didier Fuentes? And which of their many […]
The Atlanta Braves may have spent another season navigating a multitude of pitching injuries, but it was ultimately the lineup that let them down in October. Bounced from the postseason after falling in four games to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League Division Series, the Braves will attempt to solve the individual and […]
The Atlanta Braves are now into the offseason, which means that it’s time for General Manager Alex Anthopoulos to speak with the media and give his thoughts on both the season that was and what’s on the horizon for the team going forward. There’s a lot (and boy, do I mean a lot) to discuss […]
Unlike the Braves’ free agent list, which runs long, Atlanta doesn’t have many critical calls to make on club options. Only two are up this year, and neither is a difficult decision. Braves 2027 Club Options Ronald Acuña Jr. ($17 million) Ozzie Albies ($7 million, $4 million buyout) — You could feasibly make the argument […]
The Braves’ failure to add a real game-changing starter at the trade deadline was one of the hottest storylines of the entire season. They were reportedly in on Tarik Skubal, but per Ken Rosenthal, they never got close before he was shipped to the Dodgers — the very team that would go on to end […]
(1-6) Glendale Desert Dogs 4, (4-3) Surprise Saguaros 5 Box Score The Desert Dogs fell to 1-6 after a late rally by the Saguaros last night. The Braves had six prospects play in the game, including the return to the diamond for Tate Southisene who has been out since July 28th after getting hit in […]
There were plenty of encouraging developments for the Braves’ pitching staff this year — but also a few supremely disappointing ones, almost all of them driven by injuries. Spencer Strider hasn’t looked like himself since undergoing InternalBrace surgery in 2024. He’s lost a ton of life on both his fastball and slider, going from one […]
(Of course, pending the existence of a 2027 season, after all…) Alex Anthopoulos said a whole lotta nothing in his latest presser, though this isn’t really surprising considering A) his approach to press is “how do I divulge as little information as possible in as much time as possible” and B) the Braves haven’t done […]
Alex Anthopoulos made his end of year comments on Sunday, speaking on many different topics from the 2026 season. Per usual, there was not much in terms of specific focuses or future actions given away. However, Anthopoulos did speak on some names. This includes the lack of reliability moving forward on names such as Spencer […]
It didn't work out this year, but the Braves will just keep taking cracks at it.

Atlanta Braves President of Baseball Operations, Alex Anthopoulos, met with the media earlier today and addressed a handful of issues ahead of the 2027 season. Among the topics Anthopoulos discussed were that the team plans to give 21-year-old pitcher Didier Fuentes a chance at being in the team’s rotation in 2027, although he may be […]
The Dodgers for their first game of the National League Championship Series will have Kiké Hernández in the starting lineup for a third straight game. Hernández plays second base and bats ninth on Sunday against the Milwaukee Brewers. Hernández, who homered in Game 3 against Chris Sale of the Braves, usually starts against left-handers, but […]

The Braves reportedly refused to consider trading Didier Fuentes to the Tigers in a potential package for Tarik Skubal at the trade deadline.
