The offseason has already begun for most of the NBA, but things will really heat up over the next month with the NBA Draft around the corner. That’s at the forefront of the Atlanta Hawks to-do list, given they have the number one overall pick. The Hawks will also be embroiled in non-stop trade rumors
After just two starts above the High-A level, the Braves decided to turn to Spencer Schwellenbach on Wednesday, giving him a chance to make his MLB debut and hopefully put an end to the revolving door at the back of the rotation. There were many highs and some lows. Schwellenbach’s final line read five innings,
The start to David Fletcher’s career as a member of the Atlanta Braves could not be any more odd. Acquired in a trade with the Angels this past offseason, Fletcher was expected to be a valuable piece of Atlanta’s bench. To this date, he’s spent most of his time with the Gwinnett Stripers, appearing in
Due to a plethora of injuries, the Braves, who didn’t seem like they would be incredibly active at this year’s trade deadline, now could be the most active of any club in the majors. On paper, they could use another starting pitcher, but most notably, they need someone to replace the offensive production left by
With Ronald Acuña Jr. down for the season, everybody expects the Braves to add another outfielder before the trade deadline, if not multiple. Much like they did in 2021 when they acquired Joc Pederson, Jorge Soler, and Adam Duvall. However, trades two months out from the trade deadline are rare. For now, they have to
If you’re beginning to think this has gotten a little ridiculous, it’s because it has. I’m not sure I have ever seen a team so snake bitten by injuries this early in the season, and we can add another significant contributor to the list. Per the Braves, A.J. Minter is heading to the IL with
The injury bug has ravaged the Braves to this point in the season. Most notably, Ronald Acuña Jr.and Spencer Strider — arguably the Braves best two players — are out for the year. Sean Murphy has missed most of the season. Austin Riley and Ozzie Albies have each missed multiple weeks, and AJ Smith-Shawver was
Even though the Braves now sit 31-22, fans are looking everywhere for a beacon of hope. Between a litany of injuries and more than underwhelming offense over the last month-plus, this isn’t how anyone expected Atlanta’s 2024 campaign to go following back-to-back 100 win seasons. Wednesday provided a brief bit of that. Per usual, the
The NBA Draft is less than a month away, and soon after that free agency will begin. It would seem this offseason will be that of major changes for the Atlanta Hawks, who have consistently underwhelmed each season since their magical run to the Eastern Conference Finals three years ago. This year’s draft will be
It’s difficult to look at what has transpired this year and not think about the parallels between the 2021 campaign that ultimately ended in a World Series for the Braves. An underachieving, yet talented club losing its best player in Ronald Acuña Jr. for the rest of the season due to a torn ACL before
