With spring training officially rocking and rolling, this is definitely as good of a time as any to hear from both Atlanta Braves President of Baseball Operations/General Manager Alex Anthopoulos and the newly-promoted manager, Walt Weiss. Both of them spoke with the media one-after-the-other on Friday afternoon and the first thing on my mind was […]

The college baseball season gets underway today, or I should say is already underway with a 9:30 AM game kicking things off, and some high school seasons have already gotten underway. That means we are officially in MLB Draft season. This is an especially big draft for the Atlanta Braves, thanks to Drake Baldwin. As […]

As of right now, the Atlanta Braves rotation in its current form is healthy enough with four starters who are doing fine here in the infancy of camp. It’s gotten to the point where Braves President of Baseball Operations/General Manager Alex Anthopoulos has gone ahead and claimed that four of the five rotation spots are […]

I’m not gonna make a case, or talk about how it depends on price. You can do that. Littell is the only free agent remaining who A) does not require loss of a draft pick, and B) is projected by a blend of Steamer and ZiPS to produce over 1.5 WAR in 2026. Do with […]

The fun continues in North Port, Florida, as Ronald Acuña Jr. and some other Atlanta Braves have been participating in live BP. Gabe Burns of the AJC has given an inside look at camp all week; Acuña stepped in against Chris Sale, and the veteran lefty got the better of him, punching him out twice. […]

The good news for the Atlanta Braves as we continue to progress through the early portions of spring training is that two days of camp have come and gone and the Braves haven’t had anybody else go on the 60-Day IL. Here’s hoping that this continues long into spring training, the World Baseball Classic and […]

America’s pastime has had many layers over the years and has been played throughout many countries and historical periods, including wars we still look back on today. Although many records have been erased from history books, and notable players weren’t given the credit they deserved to justify their talent, it’s important to look and recognize […]

The land of movies that are so bad that they’re good but somehow still wrap back around to being bad will be sharing some space with baseball this Spring. Major League Baseball has revealed the broadcast schedule for this year’s World Baseball Classic and things are pretty simple when it comes to figuring out which […]

I’m shamelessly stealing from the comments, here. Unless there’s a move on the rotation side, Bryce Elder will probably begin the year in Atlanta’s rotation. Joey Wentz is out of options, as is Elder. Seems reasonable — unless you’re willing to roll the dice on the Braves going in a very different direction at this […]

Well Chris Bassitt is off the board with a 1 year $18.5 million deal with the Orioles after it really felt like Bassitt would land in Atlanta. The terms of that deal seems like it would have been fairly palatable to an Atlanta front office that loves a one year deal. I wonder if they […]

Well, nobody went on the 60-Day IL today so I’d consider that a success! The night is still young so I’m definitely knocking on wood here but hopefully we’re past the bad injury luck for the time being. That clubhouse needs it and the fanbase needs it as well. Phew. Anyways, here’s a random clip. […]

The Atlanta Braves got some more bad news when it was discovered that Spencer Schwellenbach will need arthroscopic surgery on his right elbow. This leads to wondering what the way forward.

For best tools when it comes to pitchers, click here. Best Hitter – John Gil It was quite the first full season for John Gil, as he was the catalyst at the top of a young and exciting Augusta GreenJackets lineup and showed advanced ability at the plate at just 19 years old. Early in […]

Walt Weiss gave the press some more injury news today. To no Braves fan’s surprise, it’s not good news. Oy. It’s the song that never ends. Jimenez, already having lost the 2025 season with a left articular cartilage injury and further surgery in November, may be out for 2026. The Braves, after placing Spencer Schwellenbach […]

When it comes to projection models like FanGraphs and PECOTA, the Atlanta Braves have some very high expectations in 2026. However, they’ve still got a ways to go when it comes to convincing some pundits out there — particularly the panel of five people who were chosen to make predictions for USA Today when it […]

Alright, baseball nihilism time. Or, at least, pessimism, I guess. Back in December, reports on Spencer Schwellenbach’s health were good. Now, not so good. Very bad, really. Joe Jimenez was more of an expected outcome at this point. Much of the roster could more or less suffer the same turn of events…and Ha-Seong Kim already […]

Heading into this season, the Braves were anticipating that Spencer Schwellenbach would be healthy and ready to go after he had his 2025 season cut short due to a fractured elbow.
