Latest news and updates about the Braves
(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 […]

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.

After a three-day hiatus, the Dodgers are back in business on Sunday as they begin the 2026 National League Championship Series against the Milwaukee Brewers.

It has definitely been a less exciting post-season this year. In 2025, through the wild-card and division series, there were five which went to the final game – three of the four wild-card games, and a pair of divisional match-up. This will only be the second such so far in 2026, following the Braves-Phillies wild-card […]
This is definitely not a pretty playoff series. But I’ll give it this: at least it’s going the distance and providing us with baseball to fill the time between now and the League Championship Series. While the Braves and Padres folded in four to the Dodgers and Brewers, and the Yankees got unceremoniously dusted by […]
Just because the Atlanta Braves are done for the year here in 2026, that doesn’t mean that the rumor mill needs to stop.

The Braves were one of the teams looking to acquire Tarik Skubal from the Tigers at the trade deadline, with The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal writing a few days after the deadline that Atlanta “never got close to a deal for Skubal, even though they made virtually all of their young players available, including right-handers AJ […]
The Braves have had issues at shortstop for the past four seasons, trying to find an answer to fill the void left by Dansby Swanson when he signed with the Cubs in free agency. Orlando Arcia had a great first half in 2023 but never provided much after that. Vaughn Grissom struggled both offensively and […]

This follows a slew of transactions on October 8 to […]
