Latest news and updates about the Braves
“They wanted to put a right-hander in the lineup and I took advantage of that.” That’s how Andruw Jones described getting the opportunity from then-manager Bobby Cox and then-General Manager John Schuerholz to join that 1996 Atlanta Braves team that went on to win the pennant. Jones famously hit two homers in his first two […]
Tuesday marked a huge day for the Atlanta Braves organization, as Andruw Jones was finally elected into the National Baseball Hall of Fame. The Atlanta great was included on 333 of the 425 ballots, giving him just over the 75% of votes needed to make the 2026 class. Fellow center fielder Carlos Beltran was also […]
It’s been a couple of days now since the news hit Braves Country like a meteor falling out of the sky. Ha-Seong Kim is now set to miss all of spring training and at least a couple of months of the regular season on top of that. This is after he reportedly slipped on ice […]
The 2026 Hall of Fame Class will be announced on Tuesday. Several former Braves on on the ballot for consideration, but the one name that likely is being followed the most is Andruw Jones. In his 9th and second to last year of initial eligibility, Jones is projected to have a very good shot at […]
On Tuesday, January 20, 2026, the Baseball Hall of Fame will likely gain new inductees when the results of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America vote will be announced at 6PM Eastern on the MLB Network. These possible inductees will join second baseman Jeff Kent who was some-what surprisingly elected by the Contemporary Baseball Era […]
After the initial “how?” and “why?” queries in response to Ha-Seong Kim slated to miss the first few weeks of the season with a hand injury sustained from slipping on ice, the next question is, “Okay, so who’s going to replace him on the roster?” The Braves took at least a tentative step towards answering […]
Even though the calendar says 2026, Sunday unfortunately felt a lot like 2025 for the Braves. Ha-Seong Kim, whom the Braves resigned this offseason, will now miss a good portion of the 2026 season with a torn finger tendon. It was a freak injury that occurred when Kim slipped on a piece of ice in […]
The Atlanta Braves have announced that starting shortstop Ha-Seong Kim sustained an injury in Korea and had surgery to repair a torn tendon on his middle finger. The surgery took place today and is expected to miss four to five months. Kim was signed this off-season on a one-year, $20M contract after the Braves claimed […]
In the fallout of the Dodgers signing Kyle Tucker to a huge free agency deal, there has been much discussion around the spending disparity in this sport. This is a complicated issue that is sure to take center stage when CBA negotiations take place next offseason in what seems assured to be another work stoppage. […]
The Detroit Tigers offseason really holds only one major question left, and that question is what to do with Tarik Skubal. Whether the front office is waiting to see if a big spender who missed out in free agency coomes calling with a monstrous trade offer, or they’ve decided to run it back in 2026 […]
Though a quiet day for the Atlanta Braves, it was a pretty active day for other clubs in the NL East. The Braves may not have made any blockbuster moves on Friday, but the slow day did give us a chance to look at Austin Riley’s 2025 season and gear up for a (hopefully) successful […]
Prior entries: The Braves haven’t had too fun of a time lately. Neither has Austin Riley. This isn’t a pure coincidence — a thermonuclear Austin Riley can carry a team for a month, and the Braves haven’t gotten that, for one reason or another, for a while. While the team has maneuvered to be different […]
The Atlanta Braves lost a good source of depth on Thursday, as left-hander José Suarez was claimed off waivers by the Baltimore Orioles. The 28-year-old made seven appearances for the Braves last season. He picked up two wins, put together a 1.86 ERA, and recorded one save. In November, he avoided arbitration with the Braves […]
The Atlanta Braves have just announced their opening day ticket sale on their social media platforms and have a quick process to secure a spot to watch the Braves take on the Kansas City Royals on Friday, March 27th. With the surge of questions looming about streaming platform options to view Braves games, now that […]
The Braves don’t currently have a TV partner, as we explained earlier this week. The owners of FanDuel Sports Network have made a last-ditch attempt to carry the nine teams, and boy is it a doozy. Last week, nine MLB teams terminated their contracts with Fanduel Sports Network’s owners after a roughly four-year saga including […]
Former Atlanta Braves infielder Vidal Bruján was claimed off waivers today by the Minnesota Twins. He had been designated for assignment by the Braves on January 8, 2026. Atlanta claimed Bruján, 27, off waivers from the Baltimore Orioles on August 8, 2025, just days after he’d been claimed off waivers from the Chicago Cubs. He […]
Folks, we are officially less than a month away from starting to hear the crack of the bat and baseballs hitting mitts once again. It’ll be here before you know it, as Major League Baseball has officially revealed via press release the first workout dates for every team in baseball. As the title mentioned, pitchers […]
It’s January which means prospect season is here. MLB Pipeline has begun their top prospects series, starting with their positional breakdown. Today, we turn our attention to left handed pitching, where MLB Pipeline ranked Atlanta Braves 19-year old LHP Cam Caminiti as the No. 10 LHP in all of minor league baseball. In his first […]
We’re only a few players deep into this series and… hey, wait a minute! Bryce Elder? Bryce Elder?! We did Matt Olson, Michael Harris II, and Ozzie Albies, but… Bryce Elder? Two of those other three guys struggled, but you can be pretty certain they’ll be hoovering up PAs for the Braves provided they’re healthy. […]
We are inching toward Spring Training, and the Atlanta Braves are still unsure about the status of catcher Sean Murphy. Murphy underwent season-ending surgery in September after a right hip ailment, and though he may be ready for Opening Day, it’s wise for the Braves to explore other options as a precaution. From Drake Baldwin […]
In our last installment, we talked about Anthony Rizzo’s appearance against the Braves April 28, 2021, and his famous strikeout of Freddie Freeman. He wasn’t the only Cubs position player to pitch in that game. After Rizzo’s K of “Frederick” (as Rizzo once called him during a rundown on the bases when he, Rizzo, was […]
When Atlanta Braves catcher Sean Murphy underwent season-ending surgery last September, there were questions as to how the issue with his hip had gotten so bad without being addressed. Throughout this off-season, Murphy’s availability for Opening Day 2026 was hinted at being in question. This weekend, MLB’s Mark Bowman published an article previewing the Spring […]
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). To clear two spots on their 40-man roster, the Rays designated right-handed reliever Osvaldo Bido and infielder Tsung-Che Cheng for assignment. This is classic, low-key […]
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. I don’t wish him especially well in 2026, though: The #Reds' relief corps adds a former #Braves bullpen standout: www.mlbtraderumors.com/2026/01/reds… — MLB Trade Rumors (@mlbtraderumors.bsky.social) 2026-01-12T01:08:20.720Z Pierce Johnson, 34, was one of the b...
