Braves release Andrew McCutchen
According to the Gwinnett Stripers transaction log, the Braves have released five-time All-Star Andrew McCutchen. McCutchen inked a minor-league contract with the Braves about a month ago after being released by the Rangers. It was always a long shot he’d work his way back onto a major-league roster, and the acquisition of Lane Thomas ahead […]
Did the Falcons overpay? Evaluating four major contract extensions
The Falcons didn’t have a ton of money to spend on addressing their needs in free agency, but it wasn’t a quiet offseason in Atlanta. The first order of business for the new regime was contract extensions for four players they clearly view as pillars of the franchise. A couple of them were no-brainers. The […]
Report: Braves made top prospects available for Tarik Skubal, Tigers balked
As more insight emerges about the Braves’ disappointing trade deadline, it’s becoming evident Alex Anthopoulos had his eyes fixed on the top of the starting pitching market — and if he couldn’t get what he wanted, he felt comfortable standing pat. Ken Rosenthal reported on multiple occasions about Atlanta’s interest in Jacob deGrom, who ultimately […]
Grading the Braves trade deadline deals that they actually made
Over the next several days — and possibly much longer — there will be very few positive comments about what the Braves accomplished at the trade deadline, whether from fans or outside voices. It was an unmitigated disaster, a complete and total failure from the entire front office. For a brief moment, though, I’ll break […]
Alex Anthopoulos comments on Braves star reliever Robert Suarez
All the attention surrounding the Braves’ horrendous trade deadline will center on their failure to add a playoff-caliber starting pitcher, and rightfully so. It’s been the club’s single biggest weakness for years now. But Atlanta’s refusal to add any significant piece to the pitching staff at all is just as appalling. There’s more than one […]
Falcons ink Bijan Robinson to record-breaking contract extension
Anytime the best player at a position is set up to get paid, it’s a guarantee he’s going to reset the market one way or another. In Bijan Robinson‘s case, he’s now the highest-paid running back in NFL history by AAV, inking a three-year, $75 million extension to stay with the Falcons. Breaking: Bijan Robinson […]
Braves were all-in on Jacob deGrom, but he wasn’t interested
The trade deadline passed 12 hours ago, and most of Braves Country is still trying to figure out how the hell Alex Anthopoulos didn’t come away with one meaningful addition to the rotation. And no, Tyler Mahle doesn’t count. Speaking to the media last night, Anthopoulos wouldn’t get into specifics, but his thinking became pretty […]
Alex Anthopoulos does it again, Braves fail the trade deadline
There aren’t many teams in a given season that can justify going all-in at the trade deadline. The Braves were one of them. A talented core smack in the middle of its championship window. Several obvious holes to fill. A club 22 games over .500 and all but locked into October baseball. And for the […]
Braves make a slew of roster moves following the trade deadline
Following the trade deadline, the Braves announced a slew of roster moves. Most notably, Ha-Seong Kim and Sean Murphy have been activated from the Injured List. In a corresponding move, Jorge Mateo was designated for assignment. There was no extra move necessary to make room for Murphy, as Joey Bart was traded to the White […]

Report: Clay Holmes drawing interest from Braves
It is getting uncomfortably close to the trade deadline, and the Braves have really yet to upgrade their roster. They do appear to be continuing to monitor the top of the starting pitching market, though, with Mark Feinsand reporting they are showing interest in Clay Holmes. The Clay Holmes market is active with two-plus hours […]
Braves continue to be linked to Jacob deGrom
Four hours until the trade deadline, and the Braves have yet to add a substantial piece to their rotation. There’s still some time to make that happen before today goes down as an absolute disaster, with Atlanta reportedly having eyes on Jacob deGrom. Braves checked on Jacob deGrom. Rangers listening on everyone. Unknown what chances […]
Braves announce a wave of promotions as new draft class joins the farm
As the Braves’ 2026 draft class enters the farm system, several of the organization’s top prospects are being promoted for the final couple of months of the season. Most notably, Eric Hartman, Cam Caminiti, John Gil, and Owen Carey are all making the jump from High-A Rome to Double-A Columbus. Sounds like it will be […]

Top remaining Braves trade targets hours away from the trade deadline
We are getting close to put up or shut up time for Braves general manager Alex Anthopoulos. Less than seven hours remain until the trade deadline, and he hasn’t done nearly enough for this roster to be considered championship caliber, with the only notable additions being Lane Thomas and Tyler Mahle. As supplementary moves, they […]

Braves: Robert Suarez injury is becoming more worrisome by the day
We are about 48 hours from the trade deadline, and it’s become increasingly evident the Braves should be prioritizing additions to their bullpen, given there still seems to be no progress with Robert Suarez. Walt Weiss said again ahead of Friday’s game that Atlanta’s All-Star reliever has yet to throw a bullpen, and from the […]

Again, Braves make a disappointing roster move amid series with Nats
The Braves took Game 2 of their series with the Nationals behind a beautiful performance from the pitching staff. Bryce Elder turned in a gem, tossing six innings of one-run ball, and Elieser Hernández picked up the save, going the final three innings and allowing just one run with four strikeouts. Unfortunately, that wasn’t enough […]
Falcons: Kevin Stefanski provides injury update on Jawaan Taylor
One of the more surprising developments of the offseason was Falcons starting right tackle Kaleb McGary abruptly retiring after suffering a leg injury in 2025 that forced him to miss the entire season. Because of that, the Falcons pivoted to veteran Jawaan Taylor, who inked a one-year, $5 million contract to protect the blind side […]
Andrew McCutchen showing some life on the farm for the Braves
It went under the radar, but the Braves quietly inked five-time All-Star Andrew McCutchen to a minor-league deal after he was released by the Texas Rangers. He’s been on the farm for a few weeks now and appears to be finding his footing in Gwinnett, hitting .400 with five extra-base hits (four doubles and a […]
Braves have a big decision looming at shortstop
Ha-Seong Kim has been in Gwinnett on a rehab assignment, where he’s shown some signs of life with the stick. The surface-level numbers aren’t all that great — he’s hitting just a hair over .200 with a .614 OPS — but he is hitting the ball hard with consistency, something he rarely showed over 27 […]
Braves injury updates on Hurston Waldrep and Spencer Schwellenbach
Back-to-back wins over the Nationals have the Braves up eight games in the NL East, looking like a near lock to return to the postseason following a one-year hiatus. But it’s going to be difficult to make it very far past that point if they don’t find some answers for their rotation issues. Those could […]
