The Braves made a surprising blockbuster trade last offseason, swinging a three-team deal with the Athletics and Brewers for Sean Murphy. For the most part, the Braves new catcher has come as advertised. He was an All-Star last season and is one of the best defensive catchers in the sport. There’s not much to complain
Spencer Strider going down with a torn UCL really threw a wrench in the Braves’ plans, not just for this year but moving forward as well. Outside of Strider, there isn’t another proven starting pitcher committed to Atlanta long-term, and now his future is cloudy. Opting to go the internal brace surgery over Tommy John
In July of 2022, the Braves made a somewhat shocking move, sending one of their top prospects, Drew Waters, to the Kansas City Royals for the 35th pick in the MLB draft. With the Braves, Waters became a consensus top 100 prospect, and some outlets had him well inside of the top 50. There was
With Spencer Strider out for the season, the Braves already have a revolving door at the back of their rotation. Allan Winans got the first opportunity in Strider’s place and struggled mightily. Tomorrow, it will be Darius Vines. Maybe Vines sticks, maybe he doesn’t. The latter is probably more likely. Bryce Elder is still waiting
Though I wasn’t of the belief that the Braves rotation would be an issue this season, several national media pundits weren’t as confident in the depth of the group. Now, it’s been put to the ultimate test with Spencer Strider going down for the season with a torn UCL. Let’s be clear, any club that
With Allan Winans going down earlier this week after making the first start in Spencer Strider‘s place, there was speculation about who would start next time around.

The NFL Draft is now less than two weeks away, and everyone has pegged the Falcons to take one of the best pass rushers remaining on the board when they come on the clock. It’s the team’s biggest weakness by a long mile, and it’s been that way for over a decade. The problem with
The Braves worst fears were realized earlier this week when Spencer Strider underwent internal brace surgery on a torn UCL. The surgery is a newer alternative to the more traditional Tommy John surgery, hopefully allowing Strider to recover a few months quicker. But the Braves are still going to be without him for the rest
Throughout his tenure as Braves general manager, Alex Anthopoulos has shown a knack for making small signings that end up contributing significantly in some way or another, and he may have done it again. Per Francys Romero, the Braves are signing two time World Series champion Yuli Gurriel to a minor-league deal. BREAKING: The Atlanta
One of the themes of the early part of the season from a negative aspect has been the Braves’ defense. Typically one of the best defensive teams in the league, they’ve looked like the Bad News Bears far too often to begin the 2024 campaign. Perhaps they’re feeling the effects of the departure of Ron
