The Atlanta Braves farm system has been weak for some number of years due to graduations and blockbuster trades, but it’s beginning to replenish itself, especially at the higher levels. Much of the talk has surrounded Nacho Alvarez and Drake Baldwin. The former of which will receive the call in Ozzie Albies’ absence to play
The 2024 Braves might be the most cursed team I have ever covered, as far as injuries are concerned. Nearly the entire lineup has missed time at one point or another. The reigning NL MVP, Ronald Acuña Jr., is out for the season, along with the NL Cy Young favorite entering the season, Spencer Strider.
On top of a series loss to the Cardinals, Ozzie Albies left the game with a wrist injury. The exact severity of the injury has yet to be revealed, but as Braves manager Brian Snitker put it, “It’s not good.” Ozzie Albies is still having his left wrist evaluated, but #Braves manager Brian Snitker said

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. Braves Trade Hypothetical: Randy Arozarena Three Blockbuster Trade Hypotheticals for the Braves Among potential outfielders available, Taylor Ward makes a lot of sense
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. Most teams wouldn’t stand a chance after losing the reigning NL MVP and pre-season Cy Young favorite for the season, but the Braves can’t waste this opportunity with a championship-caliber
The trade deadline is two weeks away, and the Braves are going to make some significant changes. The question really surrounds what route they decide to take. In 2021, the last time Ronald Acuña Jr. tore his ACL, Alex Anthopoulos replaced him with four outfielders on expiring contracts ahead of the trade deadline. The result
