The Braves have never been big on opt-out clauses. Look at any contract they have signed a player to, and you will be hard-pressed to find one. Nolan Arenado may very well be the best third baseman in baseball, and he has seemingly been made available. He is a perennial All-Star, Gold Glove Award winner,
Ask any beat writer what the Braves will do next, and they will give you a different answer. Some expect Atlanta to go after a free-agent outfielder such as Marcell Ozuna or Nick Castellanos. Many speculate they will get in the mix for Nolan Arenado or Kris Bryant. One thing is for sure: if the
When many Hawks fans heard that the Hawks had explored a trade with the Pistons for Andre Drummond, they are awfully confused. Why give up assets for a player who is likely set to hit free agency this offseason when the team is not competing? Well at the time we knew little of what the
After a one-game absence with a hamstring issue, Trae Young will return this evening against the Suns: With Ricky Rubio expected to be out due to a birth of his child, tonight could be a big game for Young. It is good to see this was a minor injury, and given the Hawks’ record, it

We were awaiting the name change of SunTrust Park today, and though it did not take a rocket scientist to take a guess, we now officially know the name of the park. SunTrust Bank is no more, and SunTrust Park is no more. SunTrust underwent a mega-merger with BB&T in 2019, and have become a
The Braves’ number one priority right now is to bring back Josh Donaldson, and complete their lineup for the 2020 season. They must find protection for Freddie Freeman in the lineup. After doing so last season for the first time in seemingly ever, Freeman posted one of his best career years. He had a career-best
In 2019, SunTrust Bank and BB&T merged to create a single entity, Truist Bank. Braves fans have been awaiting a name change to SunTrust Park, which ended up only being the name of the park for three seasons. Today, the Braves will announce the new name of the park, according to David O’Brien of The
This time last season, William Contreras appeared to be the catcher of the future for the Atlanta Braves. He had a breakout 2018 that boosted him up prospect lists. He destroyed opposing pitchers in Rome and earned a late-season promotion to the Florida Fire Frogs. Unfortunately, it seems he hit a wall in 2019. He
