A Jordan Montgomery trade makes a lot of sense for Alex Anthopoulos and the Braves. Atlanta has a clear need to bolster the rotation, with Max Fried and Charlie Morton potentially parting ways with the organization this offseason. That need was exacerbated when news broke that Spencer Strider wouldn’t be ready for Opening Day. But
Since winning the World Series, the Braves roster has been almost completely overhauled. Alex Anthopoulos negotiated with Freddie Freeman’s agent in the offseason following the championship, but after several developments, Atlanta’s GM pivoted to the next best option on the market and struck a deal for Matt Olson. In the offseason after, Anthopoulos went back
The Falcons have had their fair share of injuries this season, but it’s hit a breaking point in Week 11. On Wednesday, the club released its practice report, and there’s a total of 16 players with varying practice designations.

A Braves fan favorite could be on the cusp of a career resurgence. As Mike Petriello of MLB.com outlined, Michael Soroka, the reliever, could end up being a more popular free agent this offseason than most people anticipate.

Every offseason since the Braves won the World Series has come with a blockbuster trade. First, it was Matt Olson replacing Freddie Freeman. Then, it was Sean Murphy as Alex Anthopoulos went back to the Athletics’ talent pool in a three-team trade. Last winter, Atlanta struck a deal with Boston to bring in Chris Sale.
The Falcons fell to the Saints in Week 10, and it was capped off by a Kirk Cousins‘ fourth-down pass that was well short of the sticks. It was the cherry on top of a disappointing loss that will be remembered for all of the missed opportunities. However, Vikings fans will remember it for something
When Alex Anthopoulos declined Travis d’Arnaud’s option, it sent shockwaves through Braves Country. It was a very palatable $8 million option for a starting-caliber catcher that has been an instrumental piece of leadership in Atlanta’s recent success, including their World Series run. In a depleted free agent market, it’s no surprise that he’s already signed
The Los Angeles Angels are becoming the West Coast Atlanta Braves. Earlier in the offseason, Alex Anthopoulos traded Jorge Soler to the Angels, where he reunited with Ron Washington and Eric Young, who were hired away from Atlanta last offseason. On Tuesday, Travis d’Arnaud signed a two-year, $12 million deal in free agency after the
Coming into Tuesday night’s NBA Cup contest, the Hawks were riding a two-game losing streak with a 4-7 record, and the last time they played the Celtics, they lost by 30 points to a Boston team without Jaylen Brown. To make matters worse, Trae Young was ruled out with an injury. But up against Goliath,
The Braves must bolster the rotation. It’s just a matter of how Alex Anthopolous wants to go about it. Not only will Atlanta be without Spencer Strider for a portion of the 2025 campaign, but the club could also have to replace the starts from Charlie Morton and Max Fried. There’s a chance that the
