Joc Pederson is the gift that keeps on giving. Each fan base gets to enjoy him for a little bit before he flies away, and he gave Braves Country a lifetime of memories in just a few months. Acquired at the 2021 trade deadline, Joc Pederson would go on to help fill the void left
Just a short time ago, the Falcons were traveling to New Orleans with a 6-3 record. The Saints had just fired Dennis Allen and were reeling. Atlanta was in the driver’s seat of the NFC South, looking prime to capture their first division title since 2016. Since then, the Falcons have lost five of their

In a day where every MLB free agent tries to squeeze every drop out of their contract, it’s refreshing to hear Chipper Jones explain why he took a hometown discount to stay with the Braves. “Well, I was lucky that I never got to a Spring Training of a free agent year that I wasn’t
One of the most surprising storylines of the Falcons’ season has been the emergence of the defense, particularly the pass rush, and it’s no coincidence.

The Braves have done nothing but two things this offseason — cut payroll and bolster the depths of the organization. But Alex Anthopoulos won’t be dormant for the entire winter.
