Opening Day is finally here! At least, it was supposed to be. Braves fans will have to wait one more day to see the 2024 squad take the field for the first time after today’s game was moved to Friday, as Spencer Strider will toe the rubber against Zack Wheeler of the Phillies. There’s not
The Braves don’t have many weaknesses, if any, coming into the season. For my money, this is the best Braves roster ever assembled. An argument could be made that they have the best lineup, rotation, and bullpen in all of baseball. At the very least, they are top three in every category. But don’t tell
Soon after Kirk Cousins’ introductory press conference with the Falcons, tampering allegations became the hot talking point. It appeared that Atlanta’s new quarterback hinted at some things that may not be legal in the eyes of the NFL. “There’s great people here,” Cousins said at his introductory press conference. “And it’s not just the football
The heavy lifting of free agency is in the past. Nearly all of the top free agents have signed already, but there are still a few remaining that could pique the interest of the Falcons. Terry Fontenot will continue to tweak the roster heading into the draft to address needs as best as possible so
As if Ronald Acuña Jr. wasn’t beloved enough in Braves Country, and really the baseball world for that matter, he gave us an inside look at his vulnerable side in his latest piece for the Player’s Tribune.

Major League Baseball didn’t mess around with their scheduling this year, pinning two of the National League’s best teams and division rivals against each other to open the season. Tomorrow, the Braves kick off their 2024 campaign against the Philadelphia Phillies at the same place where the Braves season has ended in each of the
When the Braves signed Jesse Chavez late last week, it likely meant bad news for somebody currently on the roster. That person was Jackson Stephens, who was outrighted to Gwinnett in favor of Chavez yesterday. I had hoped he’d stick around with the club, because there’s a good chance an arm like his would be
The first couple of waves of free agency have passed. Most of the heavy lifting is in the rearview mirror, and the situation is no different for the Falcons, who spent over $200 million on the first day of free agency by signing Kirk Cousins and Darnell Mooney. However, there remains some work to be
On paper, the Braves had yet another near-perfect offseason. They bolstered their rotation by adding Chris Sale in a trade with the Red Sox, completely overhauled their bullpen, and upgraded in left field by trading for Jarred Kelenic and adding Adam Duvall in free agency. This is a team that didn’t have many needs. They
The Braves and Max Fried appear to be at a standstill when it comes to contract negotiations. We know the Braves aren’t typically one to budge off their original offer, and Fried doesn’t seem interested in what’s currently on the table. However, if anybody should be paying close attention to this year’s free agency, it
