Someone should’ve reminded Ryan Poles of that saying before he laughed at the Falcons after they drafted Michael Penix Jr. If you don’t remember the incident, let me jog your memory. Bears GM Ryan Poles laughed when asked about the Falcons drafting Michael Penix Jr. at
The Braves are going to be in the market for a starter and potentially even more than one. Spencer Strider will miss part of the 2025 season, and Max Fried is expected to part ways with Atlanta in free agency. Even if Charlie Morton returns on a one-year deal, Alex Anthopoulos would be wise to
Max Fried’s free agency will be something all Braves fans watch this offseason. Any club that needs a starting pitcher that loses out on Corbin Burnes will be calling Fried’s phone.

When the Falcons hired Raheem Morris, fans were sold on his charisma and ability to connect to people, which would, in turn, help the club in free agency and building an elite coaching staff. The hire immediately paid dividends when it was announced that Zac Robinson would be following Morris from Los Angeles to Atlanta.
In what has become an annual tradition for the Braves, they’ve swung a trade with the Athletics, sending minor league right-hander Jared Johnson to Oakland in exchange for infielder Nick Allen, per the club’s announcement.

The Falcons saw several players go down with injuries in their Week 10 loss to the Saints. Mike Hughes left the contest with a neck injury.
