MLB Network’s bold prediction for the second half of the 2022 MLB season is that the Braves trade for the pitcher they will face on Friday — 2021 AL MVP Shohei Ohtani: MLB Network's Bold Second Half Prediction: Shohei Ohtani Will Be an Atlanta Brave https://t.co/f9YundXgZY pic.twitter.com/dqkxo3eGdj — Starting 9 (@Starting9)
It seems like I’ve been beating this drum forever, but I think Michael Conforto would be a good pickup for the Braves. He’s a solid left-handed bat with some pop, but he apparently underwent shoulder surgery right after the lockout and did not sign with a team. Now, he’s reportedly gaining more interest: Per @JonHeyman,
Chase posed this Braves trade idea first, and I thought it was a little weird to begin with. When you peel back the layers, it really starts to make sense for both sides. Biggio has all but been left out of Toronto’s plans as they fight for a playoff spot in a very competitive American
Atlanta’s farm system is probably the most depleted it’s been since 2015; FanGraphs even had the Braves prospects ranked dead last in their midseason update. Thankfully, the recent MLB Draft should help replenish the system a bit. Atlanta has done well in the draft in recent years. Still, there’s some talent creeping up in this
The Braves were busy on Day 1, selecting four pitchers — three of them coming from the high school ranks. On Day 2, Atlanta kicked things off with three college bats: Round 3, Pick 96: C Drake Baldwin — Missouri State Baldwin’s best tool is his offense, and he’s a good athlete behind the plate.

The Braves have made their selections at 20 and 35, choosing intriguing two-way high school prospect Owen Murphy and high school pitcher JR Ritchie, respectively. 2022 Notre Dame signee Owen Murphy has been drafted by the Braves with the 20th overall pick in the MLB Draft.

We always love to talk about who “wins” and “loses” a trade, but sometimes, both teams lose or neither team loses. In this case, the Richard Rodriguez deal is the only trade you could say the Braves truly “lost” from the 2021 trade deadline, but it’s hard to say that when Rodriguez did enough to
So far, we’ve profiled individual players in this series, but there are multiple players from the Rockies involved in this potential Braves trade. Originally, the Baltimore Orioles were going to be the fifth part of this series, but they’ve ripped off ten wins in a row — they may not be sellers. The Rockies are
The Braves have a lot of good options on the table going into the 2022 MLB Draft, and they really need to nail this one with an extremely depleted farm system. After flipping Drew Waters and Andrew Hoffman for the 35th pick, the Braves will have some extra draft capital to play with. Armed with
