It was a disappointing end to an otherwise splendid series, featuring stellar performances from the Braves pitching staff. However, the top storyline

The entire Braves pitching staff has been excellent to begin the season. The starters have picked up the slack with Spencer Strider down for the season, and Brian Snitker couldn’t ask for much more out of his bullpen.

Earlier today, it was announced that Luis Guillorme had been traded to the Los Angeles Angels for cash considerations or a player to be named later. Guillorme was serving as the Braves’ primary utility infielder, but they also had David Fletcher ready at a moment’s notice in Gwinnett. It seemed like he was destined for
When it comes to the Braves prospects, they have a clear top three and then a pretty significant dropoff. All the talk coming into the season surrounded AJ Smith-Shawver and Hurston Waldrep.
