The 2022 MLB Draft is closer than we think, and with college baseball entering postseason play, it is time to look at some potential Braves targets. I’m focusing on college prospects because as of late, Atlanta has loaded up on guys out of college rather than high school. Gabriel Hughes, RHP, Gonzaga Gabriel Hughes, a
Although the Braves’ farm system was ranked number 27 in the league after the Matt Olson trade, there’s plenty to be excited about when it comes to the minor-league talent. Let’s get into some of the top performers in Gwinnett, Mississippi, and Rome. Chadwick Tromp Chadwick Tromp, picked up by the Braves last September, is
With Travis Demeritte cooling down, one guy in particular should be scooping up those extra at-bats: Orlando Arcia. The Braves’ utility man has excelled in every situation he’s been thrust into this season, and last night’s two-hit game is just the latest evidence. Hard contact Whether he gets out or the ball finds a hole,

While it was difficult to part with such a vaunted prospect and incredible guy, Pache has had a tough time in Oakland.

The Fan Controlled Football League is one of the most innovative and unique sports leagues around. If having all the games in Atlanta wasn’t enough to entice you, they’re set to have a couple of former Falcons join the league in some capacity. It was announced that former UGA and Falcons running back Todd Gurley
Shane Greene has been designated for assignment by the Dodgers, ending a short tenure with them. After enduring a brutal stretch in Atlanta last season, Greene was eventually released by the Braves. The Dodgers picked him up, but he’s only pitched 8 innings for them in ‘21 and ‘22 and given up three runs. The
A few days ago, I wrote an article examining some shortstop options the Braves might explore on the free-agent market next offseason. There are several All-Stars set to hit free agency, and Atlanta should have plenty of money to spend. However, while there are some enticing options, the best bet might be the guy currently manning
