The Braves already have the best outfield asset going forward in Ronald Acuna Jr., but more help is on the way. Austin Riley could be a vital piece on the 2020 club, and they have two young prospects who reached AAA in late 2019 who are top prospects. Cristian Pache has gotten a ton of
Ender Inciarte was busy winning three consecutive Gold Glove Awards for the Braves, but whispers around the organization were that he was not even the best defender in the organization. Many people believed that nod should go to top Braves’ prospect Cristian Pache. Now, he has flown up prospect lists, and executives have taken notice.
It did not take Dewayne Dedmon long to find out how dysfunctional a franchise they run in Sacramento. Just half a season into his first year with the Kings, he has already made it clear that he wants out. And realistically, when that happens with a player nowadays, you really have little choice and leverage.
Settled with the Braves Dansby Swanson – $3.15 million Swanson will be back at a very affordable cost in 2020. He is arbitration-eligible until 2023, Â and it will be interesting to see if the Braves try to come to terms on an extension to add some extra years of control and start paying him a
The Hawks currently have the worst record in the NBA. If they were to finish in that spot, they would have a 14% chance at the number one pick and a 52.1% chance of landing a top-four selection. One thing is for sure: the Hawks are due for some love in the NBA Draft Lottery,
I’m not here to bash De’Andre Bembry. I was happy when the Hawks selected him back in 2016, and his versatility and defense have been valuable assets off the bench. At the beginning of the season, I wrote about how he should be retained by the Hawks when he hits restricted free agency this summer.
An injury-marred Braves team disappointed in the postseason, unable to make it past a Cardinals team that was clearly less talented. Thus, they never had the opportunity to face off against the eventual World Champion Nationals, a team that the Braves went 11-8 against in the regular season and finished four games above in the
Davis Bertans is in the midst of a breakout season. Many may remember him from his days as a role player with the Spurs after they plucked him from the EuroLeague, but he has been one of the surprise breakout players in the NBA this season after being dealt to the Washington Wizards. In a
The Braves re-sign Josh Donaldson to a 4-year, $110 million deal I do not think this one is all that bold at this point, given it has been reported the Braves finally offered Donaldson a fourth year. He has made it clear that he wants to return, and this was likely the biggest obstacle. The
If you haven’t accepted the fact that Trae Young is a superstar yet, it is time to climb out from under your rock. And the NBA All-Star voters agree. Not only is Trae Young essentially a lock to be an All-Star, but he is also leading all Eastern Conference guards in votes: The first returns
