For the most part, it’s a great day to be an Atlanta sports fan. The Falcons finally swung a trade for an impact pass rusher, acquiring Matthew Judon from the Patriots for a third-round pick. On the Braves side of things, the club welcomes Michael Harris II back into the starting lineup tonight for the
It took much longer than people might have expected, but the Falcons finally swung something big just a few weeks before the season to address an area of the team that has been plaguing them for more than a decade, acquiring Matthew Judon from the Patriots for a third-round pick. Judon won’t just help the
With Michael Harris eligible to come off the IL for tonight’s game, the Braves had a roster decision to make regarding their outfield depth. Some expected them to designate one of Ramon Laureano or Adam Duvall for assignment to make room for the star centerfielder, but instead, they went the safe route, optioning Eli White

In less than a week’s time, the hope is that Michael Harris II and Reynaldo Lopez will rejoin the Braves. Harris is eligible to come off the IL on August 14th and is currently destroying AAA pitching. He should be back in the Braves lineup in a couple of days. Lopez is eligible to come
Somehow, despite playing almost unwatchable baseball since the All-Star break, the Braves own the final spot in the National League Wild Card race, leading the Mets by just 0.5 games. It’s not the position most expected the Braves to be in at the beginning of the season coming off six straight NL East titles, but
The Falcons fixed their biggest issue this offseason by acquiring Kirk Cousins in free agency to replace Desmond Ridder. The improvement alone at the most important position in all of sports will make Atlanta a significantly better football team from a year ago. However, if the Falcons are to be legitimate threats in the NFC,
The Braves bats found some life in Colorado, but Sunday provided another tough pill to swallow for the entire organization. Carrying an 8-2 lead in the 8th inning, the Rockies exploded for seven runs to stun Atlanta in the rubber match of the series. It was one of those losses that occurs once every 20
