With Ron Washington and several other former members of the Braves coaching staff now in Los Angeles, it shouldn’t come as much of a shock that there has quickly become a pipeline of former Braves players following in his footsteps. The first example was Jorge Soler, who Alex Anthopoulos traded to the Angels to kick
Over the past few offseasons, Braves general manager Alex Anthopoulos has shown a clear preference for making big moves through trades rather than getting into bidding wars for top free agents. This approach has become his preferred method of acquiring talent during the offseason, and there’s no reason to expect a change this year. If
Now that it is confirmed Spencer Strider will not be ready for Opening Day, and it could be much longer than that after he suffered a torn UCL in April, starting pitching has become a priority for the Braves this offseason. Max Fried is also set to test free agency, and the future of Charlie
The Braves offseason went from cut and dry to absolutely bonkers pretty quickly thanks to a couple of new developments. The loss of Joe Jimenez for potentially the entire season is devastating and will require the Braves to add another reliever, if not multiple.

The Atlanta Hawks are far from championship contenders, and they are probably not even as talented as they were a year ago, when they were bounced in the play-in tournament.

The Braves have been linked to former Brewers shortstop Willy Adames a lot this offseason. He’s the best shortstop on the market, and Alex Anthopoulos has been searching for a long-term answer at the position ever since Dansby Swanson departed in free agency. However, the bidding could potentially get too out of hand for the
The Braves now have some gaping holes in their rotation, which could force them to re-visit contract negotiations with Max Fried this offseason, but they’ll have a ton of competition. According to MLB insider Jon Heyman, the Yankees, fresh off an American League championship, are keeping tabs on the Braves ace, and could become even
FanGraphs recently dropped their list of the top 50 MLB free agents ahead of the 2025 season, and a couple of Braves starting pitchers were mentioned, headlined by Max Fried, who is the seventh-best free agent in this year’s class.

With A.J. Minter, Jesse Chavez, and Luke Jackson all headed for free agency, the Braves were always going to be in the market for bullpen arms this offseason. However, the need for a high-priced shutdown guy didn’t really exist with Joe Jimenez, Pierce Johnson, Aaron Bummer, and Raisel Iglesias in the fold. That changed this
Amid the season from hell, there were a few bright spots, some of which came from unexpected sources. The most notable of which was Ramon Laureano, who was acquired by the Braves off waivers after being designated for assignment by the Guardians. In Cleveland, Laureano hit just .143 with a .494 OPS.
