Injuries were the story of the Braves 2024 season. I’m not sure there is a way to quantify it, but this has to have been the most injury plagued team in MLB history. Nearly the entire lineup spent significant portions of the season on the IL, including the reigning NL MVP and the Braves Opening
The Braves season ended less than a week ago, but MLB general managers don’t have much time to think about what could have been. Decisions on contract options and arbitration-eligible players will have to be made within the next month, and then free agency will begin. The road to the 2025 World Series is already
The Atlanta Braves 2024 campaign didn’t end how anyone in Braves Country initially hoped. It’s World Series or bust in Atlanta; the players acknowledged it prior to the season, and nothing short of a championship will satisfy Braves Country, who experienced glory just three short years ago. However, the ending to this year’s campaign felt
One thing that can no longer be said about the Atlanta Braves is that they are cheap. For a while under Liberty Media, that wasn’t always the case, but ever since the introduction of Truist Park and the surrounding Battery area, the Braves payroll has increased significantly year after year.

This offseason is full of a lot of intriguing decisions for the Braves and general manager Alex Anthopoulos. A lot of the headlines will surround Max Fried, one of the biggest free agents of the offseason, but the Braves have some other critical pieces they’ll have to make decisions on, and it’s fair to wonder
For Braves Country, last night was emotional for a couple of different reasons. Obviously, anytime the season ends, there’s some level of sorrow that exists, but I imagine that was felt even more due to the circumstances surrounding Max Fried. The 30-year-old lefty toed the rubber for potentially the last time as a member of
The Braves 2024 campaign came to an end last night, as they fell 5-4 to the Padres in Game 2. The injuries simply proved too much to overcome, and now a pivotal offseason awaits. As has been the case for the last couple of years in Atlanta, the core of the club is set to
In a lot of ways, it was a fitting ending to what many have dubbed the season from hell for the Atlanta Braves. Wednesday night’s elimination game started totally different, yet exactly the same as Game 1. The Braves were actually able to jump out to a 1-0 lead and grab some momentum early, thanks
