One of the more intriguing moves of the Falcons offseason to this point was the decision to trade quarterback Desmond Ridder. Everyone was aware the former third-round pick’s time as a starter in Atlanta was over. He was the primary reason the Falcons didn’t break their postseason drought, holding the team back at every turn.
After a stellar Spring Training, Michael Soroka‘s debut for the White Sox began about as poorly as possible. He surrendered a triple to the first batter he faced, which was followed by a single, a walk, and two more singles. It was 3-0 before Soroka had even recorded an out, but he settled down nicely

We are a week into the 2024 MLB season as well as AAA. For the most part, it’s been all good for the Braves at the top level, who sit in first place, and there are also a lot of promising things taking place in Gwinnett. Here are the most notable performers through one week
A few years ago, Huascar Ynoa was a 23-year-old fireballer who looked like he was establishing himself as a staple of the Braves rotation. He was pitching at an All-Star level before an outburst after a poor outing in Milwaukee resulted in a broken hand. He would miss significant time, and nothing has really been
After the Falcons finished 7-10 for a third consecutive season, Arthur Blank felt it was time for a change, and it was head coach Arthur Smith, not general manager Terry Fontenot, who got the axe.

Marcell Ozuna has had his fair share of off-the-field missteps, but there’s no denying why he’s still on the Braves today. He’s a one-of-one teammate that is beloved in the Braves clubhouse.
