Already short-handed without two of their best players in Spencer Strider and Ronald Acuña Jr., the Braves really can’t afford another major injury if they want to chase down the Phillies in the NL East and make some noise in October. Unfortunately, they’ll have to figure out how to win without Max Fried for at
It’s trade season, and I’ve begun some trade hypotheticals involving the Braves and the top names at position of need. If you missed the first few of those, follow the links below.

Everyone unanimously expects the Braves to acquire at least one outfielder ahead of the trade deadline in a couple of weeks with Ronald Acuña Jr. out for the season. Last time that happened, Anthopoulos went out and swung four different deals for outfielders. I wouldn’t expect that this season, but acquiring multiple bodies could very
With each passing day, we are closer to a much different-looking Braves roster. This is a club that, due to injuries, has some glaring holes.

We are right in the middle of the All-Star festivities, and in just over a couple of weeks, the trade deadline will arrive. Between now and then, there will be no shortage of rumors, and the Braves are expected to be right in the middle of all of it. Alex Anthopoulos is known for being
As the All-Star festivities begin in Texas, the Braves made a small roster move, outrighting outfielder Brian Anderson to Gwinnett.

The first two rounds of the MLB Draft took place last night, and the Braves did what they normally do early in the draft, taking two pitchers with high upside. With the 24th pick, the Braves selected 17-year-old high schooler Cam Caminiti, who is already being praised as a steal so late in the first
The Braves wrapped up the first half of the season with a series win in San Diego as they head into the All-Star break 11 games over .500. For most clubs, that would be an incredibly successful 93-game stretch, but for the 2024 Braves, I’m not sure there has ever been a team that’s needed
