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. According to Alex Anthopoulos, that
It didn’t take but a few hours after the Braves season ended for Brian Snitker to reveal his intentions to return next season as the manager, saying he wishes Spring Training started tomorrow. The 68-year-old has spent over four decades with the organization and is undoubtedly nearing the end of his career, but he’s not
The Braves have a lot of critical options they have to decide on this offseason, but three of them appear to be no-brainers. As MLB.com’s Mark Bowman is reporting the club plans to pick up the options of Marcell Ozuna, Travis d’Arnaud, and Aaron Bummer. The Braves plan to exercise the options for Ozuna ($16M),
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

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
With Chris Sale declared out for the Wild Card Series, the rest of the Braves rotation unavailable, and a depleted bullpen, Brian Snitker was put in a no-win situation, forced to start one of Bryce Elder, AJ Smith-Shawver, or Ian Anderson in Game 1 of their Wild Card matchup with the Padres. None of them
2024 has been unimaginably horrific for the Braves in the injury department. So bad, I’m not even sure Atlanta’s biggest rivals could have created such a cruel script. Nearly every single position player has spent time on the IL, most of them missing a significant chunk of the season, including their two best players —
Much of the discussion heading into Game 1 of the Braves Wild Card Series against the Padres surrounded who would start, but at the end of the day, it probably didn’t matter who Brian Snitker and company landed on. Tuesday night belonged to Michael King. A centerpiece of the trade that sent Juan Soto to
