Braves fans should be pretty familiar with Marlins third baseman Brian Anderson. In 2018 and 2019, Anderson was one of the better hitters in the National League — posting back-to-back 200+ total base seasons. He has regressed to a degree and is now a free agent. Brian Anderson was integral in the Marlins 2020 shortened

Yesterday was the deadline to add prospects to the 40-man roster to protect them from selection in the Rule 5 Draft. With the Braves not having many available spots or top prospects, this isn’t as big of a deal as it is for other teams. Still, a few notable names were left unprotected: 176 players
We’ve seen the Braves aggressively promote young players, and for the most part, they have received positive results. Spencer Strider and Michael Harris II battled it out for Rookie of the Year; already earning big extensions. Vaughn Grissom showed some promise as well. If the Braves continue this strategy, who could be the next big name

Recently, FanGraphs listed their Top 50 free agents going into the offseason.

The Braves are adjusting their 40-man roster ahead of the 2022 Rule 5 Draft, and some notable names were not included this round: The #Braves today selected RHP Michael Tonkin and RHP Seth Elledge to the major league roster, while also reinstating C Manny Piña and RHP Huascar Ynoa from the injured list. The club’s
Atlanta’s current regime caught a decent amount of heat from fans for the 2021 Draft, but it’s starting to show its true colors. I never thought the class was awful, just uninspiring. A lot of these players took somewhat of a redshirt year with mixed results. There are a few players this year that have
The Braves added Sam Hilliard from the Rockies in exchange for one of their 2021 draft picks. On the surface, it may not look like much. Hilliard only hit .184 last season with a .544 OPS over 70 games. That doesn’t sound like anybody who is going to contribute in Atlanta next season. However, his
