Braves: Three trade hypotheticals for relievers
The four areas the Braves could stand to upgrade going into the trade deadline are the rotation, bullpen, shortstop, and left field. Yesterday, I came up with three trade hypotheticals for the top starting pitchers who could be available. Now it’s time to talk relievers.

Braves make two notable roster moves ahead of doubleheader with Mets
Unfortunately, Tuesday night’s clash with the Mets has already been postponed, but that does mean we get two games tomorrow between the division rivals, and the Braves are preparing accordingly with a couple of notable roster moves. First and foremost, AJ Smith-Shawver is expected to make his season debut — the first time he’ll be […]
Ken Rosenthal: Braves among five teams inquiring on Tarik Skubal
According to Ken Rosenthal, after the Tigers dropped their third consecutive game last night, the baseball world is officially on Tarik Skubal watch. “Until Tuesday, some rival executives resisted calling the Detroit Tigers on left-hander Tarik Skubal, trying to be respectful as the team fought to remain in contention,” Rosenthal writes for The Athletic. “With […]
Braves: Walt Weiss comments on concern surrounding Robert Suarez
It’s approaching the six-week mark since Robert Suarez last appeared for the Braves after being placed on the IL with elbow and forearm inflammation. Further tests revealed no structural damage, and it felt like something that was just going to need a couple of weeks of rest before he was back throwing again. The fact that […]
Tigers looking like sellers: 5 players Braves could target
There are a ton of teams still teetering on the line of whether they’ll be buyers or sellers leading up to the trade deadline. None of them are garnering more attention than the Detroit Tigers, who just dropped their third game in a row on Monday night and are now six games back in the […]
New Falcons regime inherits the same old questions in 2026
Falcons beat reporter Josh Kendall was in charge of putting together the pre-training camp NFL power rankings for The Athletic as we inch closer to the preseason, and Atlanta was right about where you might expect at 24th — narrowly edging out the Saints, who were ranked 25th. — 24. Atlanta Falcons Last season: 8-9 […]
Could the Braves and Mets actually make a trade at the deadline?
Even though the Mets clobbered the Braves by 11 runs last night, they still sit 17.5 games back and are one of baseball’s for-sure sellers as Monday’s trade deadline approaches. But the Mets aren’t your typical sellers — they have a lot of valuable pieces that could attract any club, many of which should draw […]
Four players the Braves should stay away from at the trade deadline
Yesterday, I came up with a wish list for the Braves as they approach the trade deadline, laying out a dream target and a backup plan at each area of need. Now, here are five guys they should be staying away from. Mickey Moniak This is a tale as old as time. A guy who’s […]
Braves: Three Blockbuster Trade Hypotheticals For Starting Pitchers
We are days away from things really starting to heat up ahead of the MLB trade deadline, with the Braves expected to be at the forefront of conversations surrounding most every player who comes available. There’s a lot of work to be done in Atlanta if this team wants to challenge the Dodgers come October, […]
Report: Scouts from three teams watching Braves prospects ahead of deadline
According to Jesús Cano of The Athletic, there were several scouts from teams that could be looking to sell at this year’s trade deadline in Rome this weekend for a closer look at some of the Braves’ most talented prospects. “Scouts have flocked to Braves minor league affiliates,” Cano writes. “High-A Rome, which has the […]
Braves Trade Deadline Wish List
We are a week away from the trade deadline. The buying and selling teams are starting to become more obvious — and over the next three to four days, we should start seeing some significant trades completed. The Braves’ needs are obvious. They should be in the market for every frontline starting pitcher available, they […]
Important Braves roster move, along with two exciting promotions
The second half of the season is bringing about some much more positive experiences. The Braves have won seven of their last ten games, stretching their lead in the NL East to 5.5 games over the Phillies, and now they’re getting their best player back. The #Braves today returned OF Ronald Acuña Jr. from his […]
Atlanta Hawks reportedly eyeing Peyton Watson
According to Shams Charania, the Atlanta Hawks are in the market for Nuggets wing Peyton Watson, who is a restricted free agent. By matching Jones' sheet, the Nuggets face a $32 million increase in current luxury taxes ($36M to $68M) and enter the second apron. They are deep in tax bills but could shed money […]
Braves star prospect Tate Southisene earns another promotion
You can tell how much the Braves love a prospect by how fast they move him through the farm system. They’ve never been a team hesitant to test their young talent quickly, and they’re doing it again with 19-year-old Tate Southisene. Per Geoff Pontes of Baseball America, the 2025 first-round selection is being promoted to […]
Which Braves player has the highest trade value?
The Braves are not selling. They’re expected to be among the most aggressive buyers over the next eight days leading up to the trade deadline. However, FanGraphs recently released its ranking of the top 50 players in baseball by trade value, which sparks some very intriguing discussions. Now, keep in mind there’s a lot more […]
Bryce Harper gives sign of respect to Braves pitching coach Jeremy Hefner
After a stellar start to the season, the Braves pitching staff has been holding on for dear life for a couple of months now. That said, I think it’s fair to say pitching coach Jeremy Hefner is squeezing out about as much as he possibly can with what he’s been given. The reality is guys […]
Dylan Dodd’s emergence is giving the Braves options at the trade deadline
The Braves squeaked by with yet another one-run win over the Orioles that had a little bit of everything. The game should have been signed, sealed, and delivered in the ninth, but Ozzie Albies let a groundball go right through his legs, allowing the tying run to score and sending the game to extras. The […]
Another massive need has emerged for the Braves ahead of trade deadline
The chief priority for the Braves leading up to the trade deadline is finding a legitimate frontline arm to sit behind Chris Sale. That’s not changing, and it’s not going to be cheap. But after the rotation, there’s some debate about where most of their attention should be focused. For the longest time, a right-handed […]
8 days away — 8 teams the Braves could trade with at the deadline
As we inch closer to the trade deadline, it’s becoming more clear who will be buying and who will be selling, even if there are still several clubs — ones with a lot to offer — sitting on the fringe. For now, let’s cover the teams that look like they’ll almost certainly be selling and […]
Candidates to be cut from the Braves roster as reinforcements arrive
The vibes around the Atlanta Braves are a lot different than they were just a couple of weeks ago. Three straight wins and six wins in eight games have pushed their lead over the Phillies back to 5.5 games, and the sheer number of potential upgrades coming to this roster over the next month or […]
A concerning update on Braves star reliever Robert Suarez
If you were a new Braves fan who just started watching the club about a month ago and heard about Atlanta’s star bullpen, you’d probably be wondering what in the hell everybody else was watching before you joined the bandwagon. The Braves bullpen has gone from the best in baseball to just another unit of […]
Braves make unfortunate roster move amid series with Orioles
Professional sports can be a brutal occupation. What’s the reward for tossing three scoreless innings in a tie ballgame to send the game to extras, in your season debut, no less? That’s what Elieser Hernandez did for the Braves last night, earning his first win since 2022 — and his reward is being designated for […]
The mojo is back in Atlanta, as Braves extend NL East lead
For close to two months, whatever could go wrong went horribly wrong for the Atlanta Braves. The offense would show up, only for the starting pitcher to go three innings while allowing eight runs. The rotation would hold up, only for the bats to go silent. And on the off chance those two things proved […]
The Athletic names Braves player that will be moved at the trade deadline
There aren’t many things that can be guaranteed in this world, but in about 10 days, the Braves will have a reshaped organization of some sort. That much is for certain. Atlanta has a boatload of areas they need to upgrade, a roster good enough to compete for a championship, and the prospect capital to […]
ESPN highlights Braves “untouchable” prospects ahead of trade deadline
When it comes to the Braves’ prospects, nobody has shown enough to have earned the title “untouchable.” However, Alex Anthopoulos did say there’s at least one of their younger players who’d be very difficult to part with. “Off Limits? No,” Anthopoulos said. “We actually had a meeting today talking about that exact scenario. It depends, […]
