With so many Braves’ prospects right on the cusp of breaking into the majors, the 2020 season looks set up to become a busy one in terms of big-league debuts. Between outfielders Cristian Pache and Drew Waters, and starting pitcher Ian Anderson, there’s at least a handful of Braves’ prospects that will most likely get
So the LA Dodgers just got even better, my Braves friends. While we were all finishing up dinner Tuesday evening, the already-loaded Dodgers finalized a mega-deal with the Red Sox and Twins, acquiring 27-year-old star outfielder Mookie Betts.

The Braves will enter the 2020 season with one of the game’s most exciting second baseman — 23-year-old Ozzie Albies. This little fun fact isn’t anything surprising, as we’ve watched the small but electric Albies develop right before our eyes, evolving from a sometimes unaware and even reckless hitter at the plate to an All-Star
Here at SportsTalkATL, I recently listed a strength and weakness I felt the Braves currently have going into the 2020 season, now that it appears the Braves are finished making additions to the roster. One of the team’s most obvious strengths is its bullpen, as GM Alex Anthopoulos dropped more than $50 million on the relief
Back in early December, Chase Irle here at SportsTalkATL brought up the ongoing topic regarding Braves’ center fielder Ender Inciarte and the potential for him to land in a trade package headed out of Atlanta. In Chase’s write-up, he came to the same conclusion a lot of us have, and that is that Inciarte will
It has been a tough road for the 23-year-old lefty Luiz Gohara, who once upon a time was one of the Braves’ highly regarded pitching prospects and a player many projected to achieve incredible things at the major league level. But over the years, he has dealt with unimaginable obstacles. After several attempts at a
Just last week we discussed the five Braves prospects that showed up on MLB Pipeline’s 2020 Top-100 list, here: Cristian Pache, OF, No. 13 Drew Waters, OF, No. 26 Ian Anderson, RHP, No. 37 Kyle Wright, RHP, No. 52 Shea Langeliers, C, No. 70 Those five names above shouldn’t surprise anyone, given that all are
It’s understandable for excitement to build regarding Cubs’ third baseman Kris Bryant, especially considering we found out earlier this week that the 28-year-old lost his painfully long grievance against MLB, meaning he must wait two more seasons before hitting the free-agent market. I mean, consider the facts here: Bryant is a three-time All-Star, a 2015
It seemed like from the beginning of the current offseason; there was a rather large crowd of Braves’ fans and writers that were persistently lobbying for the team to go after 31-year-old outfielder Starling Marte, who up until this past Monday, was a highly sought-after trade piece currently at the backend of a rather team-friendly deal.Â
With outfielder Nick Castellanos agreeing to a 4-year, $64 million deal with the Reds on Monday, the current free-agent market is all but barren in terms of impact players (infielder Brock Holt is the only top-50 player left unsigned, according to FanGraphs’ 2020 offseason tracker). Such a lack of options, and the fact that GM
