Baseball is, among other things, a series of transactions. Being a baseball fan often involves having feelings about those transactions. Sometimes, those feelings are strong. Baseball also surprises us. If not the perfect blend of predictable and absolutely unpredictable, it’s probably pretty close. Put those two things together, and it means that strong feelings can […]

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 Atlanta Braves and Tampa Bay Rays have hooked up for a trade that sends two players recently designated for assignment by the Braves to the Rays for everyone’s favorite cash considerations or the ever elusive player to be named later. Going to the Rays are infielder Brett Wisely, who the Braves claimed off waivers […]

Trouble has been brewing for quite some time with Main Street Sports Group (MSSG), the company behind FanDuel Sports Network (“FanDuel” — not to be confused with the other FanDuel, which is a gambling outfit), home of dozens of professional sports teams’ regional broadcasts, including the Atlanta Braves. Late last year, MSSG failed to make […]

Ah, Joe Jimenez. The Braves have gone on a bit of a bullpen construction-slash-reconstruction spree so far this offseason, re-adding Raisel Iglesias and Tyler Kinley while committing big bucks to Robert Suarez. They also brought in Joel Payamps late last season and re-signed him for something notably above league minimum, and Ian Hamilton is hanging […]

Over at MLB.com, Mark Bowman discussed a few interesting news nuggets among many offseason topics. For one, he once again mentioned that Sean Murphy likely will miss the start of the 2026, which could make backup catcher a need for the Braves in the early part of the season. The hope is that once Murphy […]

The Braves resigned Tyler Kinley yesterday to a slightly smaller deal with an option for 2027. Tyler was a bright spot for Atlanta last year, posting a 0.72/2.74/4.37 line over 25 innings. That works out to a 17 ERA-, 68 FIP-, and 106 xFIP-. He was very good during the last two months after being […]

The Braves suddenly have a pretty full bullpen, with the addition of Tyler Kinley on a relatively cheap deal for the righty veteran who was quite good for the club after joining at the trade deadline. Veterans Raisel Iglesias, Robert Suarez, Tyler Kinley, Dylan Lee, and Aaron Bummer should be roster locks, with Joel Payamps […]

The deal is worth $3 million in 2026 with a club option for $5.5 million in 2027 with a $1.25 million buyout, according to Robert Murray of FanSided and Foul […]

As you may have already heard, the Braves have split from their Fanduel-sponsored TV broadcaster. What we will get in the place of that is to be determined. We’ll see the Braves somewhere, and I believe Battery Power will have some great guesses on the future later. But here the question: why can’t we just […]

The Atlanta Braves announced a couple of moves on Friday, first claiming right-hander George Soriano off waivers from the Baltimore Orioles. Then, the club announced that infielder Brett Wisely had been designated for assignment. Though claimed from the Orioles, Soriano has only appeared in games for the Miami Marlins, where he logged 72 career games, […]

Television and streaming rights for Major League Baseball are changing frequently, and in 2026, you’ll be able to find the Atlanta Braves featured on NBC and Peacock exclusively a handful of times. One big change: Sunday Night Baseball has transitioned from ESPN to NBC. That is a welcome change in my humble opinion, and it […]

The polls are closed and the results are in from the SB Nation Reacts survey that we ran earlier this week. In the poll, we asked how you would grade the Atlanta Braves offseason so far by giving a full letter grade. Given that letter grades in this scenario are one-hundred percent subjective, it was […]

We’ll have more coverage on this later, but it’s a Friday, so it’s low-effort question time. The Braves could renegotiate something with FanDuel. I’m not sure why they would, but they could. MLB Media is the other default assuming nothing else happens — which picked up some other team games when FanDuel’s corporate parent was […]

The Atlanta Braves reported Thursday that left-hander Ken Waldichuk had been claimed off waivers from the Athletics. The club also announced that infielder Vidal Bruján had been designated for assignment. 28-year-old Waldichuk debuted in 2022 and has 42 games under his belt. He has an underwhelming 6-11 record to accompany his 5.28 ERA. As for […]

The Atlanta Braves made a habit out of claiming players off of waivers during the regular season (for obvious reasons) and early on in the offseason as well. There was a bit of a lull (which has spread across most of baseball) but that’s changed today. Earlier this afternoon, the Braves made a move to […]

Not to get too in the weeds on a Thursday afternoon, but here’s the deal. As reported by Evan Drellich in The Athletic, the Braves are one of nine teams terminating their existing broadcast contract with FanDuel. Key points: Other than that, stay tuned. But if for some reason you found the idea of FanDuel […]

The offseason is well underway at this point, and there have been two trades so far that have caused me to scratch my head a bit. Both have involved Front Offices that, in terms of pedigree and past experience, seem to know what they’re doing — so I’m shrugging a bit in addition to the […]

Well Mark Bowman wrote a good article on the status of the Braves’ search for starting pitching to add this offseason. It was interesting that he seemed to think that non-qualifying offer free agents or perhaps select non-top-tier trade options are the more likely avenues. Freddy Peralta is a hot commodity and has been covered […]

The Atlanta Braves are one of nine teams in baseball who are currently dealing with a murky outlook when it comes to their TV deals. FanDuel Sports Network is operated by Main Street Sports Group nowadays and as what seems like usual for this particular company, they’re dealing with some serious financial issues. These issues […]
