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, […]
These two Braves shortstop prospects won’t stop raking
The early returns on the Braves’ 2025 top draft selections have been extremely encouraging, especially given the position they play. Shortstop has been a black hole in Atlanta for several years now, and while Jim Jarvis has sparked some confidence that he could be next in line, the future of the position is likely further […]
A Braves reunion with Kevin Gausman makes too much sense
With a bunch of starting pitchers expected to be on the move ahead of the trade deadline, and the Braves desperately searching for rotation help, it would be a shame if Alex Anthopoulos didn’t come away with at least one impact arm. How big will he go is the question. Tarik Skubal has been linked […]
Should the Braves move on from Tyler Kinley?
Among the issues in Atlanta, the Braves bullpen is near the bottom of the list. That said, the injury to Robert Suarez — whose return still doesn’t appear imminent — has exposed some chinks in the armor once you get past the first 4-5 guys. Braves’ Proven Reliable Relievers Raisel Iglesias Dylan Lee Didier Fuentes […]
AJ Smith-Shawver impresses, is rejoining the Braves imminent?
Tons of injury news for the Atlanta Braves, as a trio of impact players could be rejoining the club in the near future. Walt Weiss said yesterday that Acuña is ready. He’ll likely rejoin the team this weekend in Baltimore. There was a bit of a hold-your-breath moment in yesterday’s Stripers game, though, as Acuña […]
Seven under the radar trade targets for the Braves
It does feel like this could finally be the year we see Alex Anthopoulos swing big at the trade deadline. It hasn’t typically been the Braves’ M.O., but they also haven’t had a farm system this deep in quite a long time. Atlanta has the prospect depth to target whoever they desire, featuring a logjam […]
Braves: Sean Murphy set to take major step towards returning
More good news on the injury front for the Atlanta Braves. Not only do they expect to get back Ronald Acuña Jr. in the coming days, but catcher Sean Murphy will begin his rehab assignment with the Gwinnett Stripers tomorrow. #Braves C Sean Murphy will join Triple-A Gwinnett to begin a rehab assignment tomorrow. I […]
Braves: Walt Weiss provides latest update on Ronald Acuña Jr.
The Braves squeaked out another victory on Thursday afternoon, giving them back-to-back series wins for the first time since early June. They’ve now won five of their first seven games to start the second half, moving 4.5 games ahead of the Phillies in the NL East, and they’re about to get a pretty special player […]
ESPN gives Hawks high marks for their offseason
Zach Kram of ESPN has handed out his grades for all 30 teams in the Association, with the Hawks earning some of the highest remarks. — Grade: A- Depending on how coach Quin Snyder structures his rotation, the Hawks might not have added a single starter this offseason — although they did well to re-sign CJ […]
Diamond in the rough: This 2025 Braves trade is looking genius
The Braves had one of their most disappointing seasons in franchise history a year ago — entering alongside the Dodgers as World Series favorites, only to end up as sellers at the trade deadline. At least, that’s what we thought was going to happen. The Braves were well out of playoff contention and had some […]
Blockbuster Braves trade targets, and the odds that they are moved
Even in a seller’s market, a lot of blockbuster trade targets will be discussed leading up to the August 3rd deadline, with several of them finding new homes. Here are the top names to watch that fill areas of need for the Braves, including the odds they’re moved, according to Kiley McDaniel and Jeff Passan […]
Latest Hawks rumors on Jonathan Kuminga and Lu Dort
The Hawks have been among the league’s busiest teams this offseason, and while the brunt of the work may be complete, Onsi Saleh isn’t quite finished. The situation surrounding Jonathan Kuminga remains very fluid, according to Marc Stein and Jake Fischer of The Stein Line. The bouncy wing remains open to returning to Atlanta, but […]
Acuña looks ready to return, Jim Jarvis powers Braves to another win
The tide appears to be shifting in Atlanta after a really rough two-month stretch. The bats are waking up across the lineup, and Ronald Acuña Jr. should be rejoining the Braves this weekend. He looked all the way back on Wednesday night, recording two hits for the Gwinnett Stripers and stealing a base. The offense […]
Braves make notable roster move amid series with Padres
The Braves made a notable roster move amid their series with the Padres, optioning JR Ritchie back to Gwinnett and activating Martin Perez from the Injured List. Perez will start tonight as the Braves aim to take Game 3 against San Diego. The #Braves today reinstated LHP Martín Pérez from the injured list and optioned […]
Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon lay out Braves trade framework for Tarik Skubal
The hottest topic leading up to the trade deadline surrounds two-time AL Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal, and whether the Tigers will ultimately move him. Six weeks ago, that looked like a foregone conclusion, with Detroit sporting the worst record in the majors. Now? Not so much. The Tigers have played their way back into […]
Good and bad news for Braves as trade deadline approaches
Over at ESPN, Jeff Passan and Buster Olney have the latest insight as the trade deadline approaches, and there are a couple of intriguing themes that will very much affect the Atlanta Braves. On the positive side, even in a seller’s market, the starting pitching market is expected to be robust, with both Olney and […]
Ha-Seong Kim showing some signs of life in Gwinnett
Both Ha-Seong Kim and Ronald Acuña Jr. are amid rehab assignments in Gwinnett, and either could rejoin the Braves over the next week or so. Acuña’s role is defined. Alex Anthopoulos didn’t mince words about the idea of him becoming the primary DH — that’s not happening. He’ll continue as the club’s everyday right fielder, […]
Alex Anthopoulos says one Braves prospect is nearly untouchable
As the trade deadline approaches, several of the Braves’ top prospects likely won’t be with the organization in a couple of weeks. Atlanta has needs that must be addressed, and almost everybody expects them to be aggressive in doing so. I asked the question last week, though — is there any prospect the Braves should […]
