The Braves find themselves in a precarious position at this year’s trade deadline. Alex Anthopoulos will not be a seller, not with the talent still on the roster, but Atlanta is without Ronald Acuna Jr. and Spencer Strider for the season, Ozzie Albies for possibly the rest of the season, and Max Fried indefinitely. It’s
The Hawks recouped a majority of what they traded away for Dejounte Murray, and it’ll be a massive win for Atlanta if one piece in particular pans out — Dyson Daniels. The former first-round pick didn’t realize his full potential in New Orleans, but the expectation in Atlanta is that Daniels is better set up
The Braves have begun the second half of the season losing three out of their first four games. But worse, they’ve lost Ozzie Albies for eight weeks and Max Fried indefinitely. With the trade deadline nearing, the hope is that Alex Anthopoulos can work his magic to inject some much-needed life into this club. The
The Falcons report to training camp this week, and it’s one of the most highly anticipated seasons in recent memory. Here are four major storylines I’ll be watching: Top 10 draft picks with high expectations When a team invests three top 10 picks in skill position players, they expect to have Pro Bowl-caliber production.

The Falcons have been among the most popular teams in news cycles this offseason because they signed Kirk Cousins and drafted Michael Penix Jr. Cousins inked a $180 million free agent deal, while Atlanta selected Penix with the No. 8 overall pick within two months of each other. It’s not the most efficient use of
The Hawks are building around Trae Young after the Dejounte Murray trade, but it may be a situation that is heading for an inevitable split. Young, for the first time in his career, acknowledged the possibility of playing elsewhere. When asked, the Hawks star point guard would always say he wants to be in Atlanta
The Braves have officially announced a flurry of roster moves in the wake of the Ozzie Albies injury. The club has called up one of their top prospects in Nacho Alvarez, signed White Merrifield, optioned Eli White to Triple-A Gwinnett, and designated Forrest Wall for assignment. The #Braves today selected INF Nacho Alvarez Jr. to
The Falcons will report to training camp this time next week, but there could still be a couple of moves on the horizon. The defense needs bolstering.
