Latest blog entries from Atlanta teams across every league
Tuesday made for a busy day for the Atlanta Braves, as pitchers and catchers reported to the spring training facility in North Port, Florida. There were several storylines from the day, and in 2025 fashion, not all of them were great. Most notably, it was announced that starting pitcher Spencer Schwellenbach has some inflammation in […]
The Atlanta Braves have been hyper-active on this first day of Spring Training, with the teaming making a late-night announcement that infielder Brett Wisely, who appeared with the team late in the 2025 season, has been re-acquired by the team in a trade with the Tampa Bay Rays for cash considerations. The Braves traded Wisely […]
According to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk, who emailed the NFL for confirmation, the Chicago Bears will not receive compensatory draft picks for losing assistant general manager Ian Cunningham to the Atlanta Falcons, where he will serve as their general manager. “The policy for receiving picks pertains to the head coach or the primary […]
Atlanta Braves reliever Dylan Lee has reportedly won his arbitration case over the team, according to a report by MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand. Per the report, Lee will make $2.2 million for the 2026 season. The club had filed at $2 million. Lee was the Braves’ only arbitration-eligible player this offseason to go to arbitration. Lee […]
The Cubs are adding some starting pitching depth: Kyle Wright was the Braves’ first-round pick (seventh overall) in 2017 out of Vanderbilt and was a Top 100 prospect three years in a row (2018, 2019, 2020). He made his MLB debut with the Braves in 2019 and joined their rotation full-time in 2022, when he […]
Heading into this season, the Braves were anticipating that Spencer Schwellenbach would be healthy and ready to go after he had his 2025 season cut short due to a fractured elbow. Unfortunately, here on the first day of pitchers and catchers being at spring training, it’s become clear that Schwellenbach’s elbow is still bothering him. […]
Do y’all remember the time when Baseball Prospectus would drop their annual PECOTA projections and there would be gnashing of teeth and rending of garments on the Braves Country corner of the internet? That was because for years, if there was any team that represented the whole “PECOTA hates your team” belief, it was the […]
Atlanta Braves pitchers and catchers have officially reported to spring training and as it turns out, there’s another catcher who has joined the Braves for the first day of camp. I suppose that things have been hectic down there in North Port because we didn’t get the usual Braves tweet with a block of white […]
One decisive quarter proved too much for the Atlanta Hawks to overcome. The Hawks surrendered 40 points in the second quarter and never fully recovered in a 138–116 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday night at Target Center. Atlanta was shorthanded, as Jalen Johnson and Dyson Daniels were both ruled out before tipoff. Johnson […]
Tight end has consistently been a position the Falcons prioritize being a strength of the roster. Other than 2014 and 2015, when Levine Toilolo and Jacob Tamme were starters, they have made the necessary investments to ensure the starting tight end is a difference maker. Kyle Pitts has received many labels in his career. No […]
Less than two minutes into the first quarter of the Minnesota Timberwolves second leg of their home back-to-back against the Atlanta Hawks, Donte DiVincenzo sank his first field goal – a wing three off of an assist from Jaden McDaniels. On most nights, a pretty routine start for the Wolves guard and an ordinary thing […]

Probable starting lineup: Please join in the comments below as you follow along.

Portland Trail Blazers frontcourt members Donovan Clingan and Jerami Grant have gotten honorable mention notice for NBA Western Conference Player of the Week. Stephon Castle of the San Antonio Spurs won the award, while Jalen Johnson of the Atlanta Hawks took home the corresponding trophy for the Eastern Conference. Still, having your name mentioned alongside […]
Oh, how the turntables… turn. In the NFL, everything tends to be about relationships, good or bad, in decision-making. That is especially true with coaching staffs, as new head coaches like to bring in coaches they are familiar with. We have seen that with new Cleveland Browns HC Todd Monken on the offensive side of […]
With spring training and the regular season right around the corner and with some new openings on the staff here at Battery Power, we’ve decided to officially open up applications in order to find new writers! If you’d like a chance to write about the Braves for what is (in our own biased opinion) the […]
Another season of Atlanta Braves minor league baseball looms on the horizon, and following the release of our top 30 prospects list last week, this week we are taking a deeper look at some of the prospects on the list and how the changes on the list came to be. One of the most important […]
In a year where just about everything went comically wrong for the Falcons, taking them from would-be playoff team to out of the mix in November, the running back position was a bastion of excellence. It’s a virtual certainty it was our final year with Tyler Allgeier in the mix, though blessedly Bijan Robinson will […]
Minnesota Timberwolves vs. Atlanta HawksDate: February 8th, 2026Time: 7:00 PM CSTLocation: Target CenterTelevision Coverage: FanDuel Sports Network – NorthRadio Coverage: KFAN FM, Wolves App, iHeart Radio February was supposed to be the month where the Timberwolves looked at the Western Conference standings, rubbed their hands together, and said, “Okay, let’s do this.” The schedule softened. […]
Luke Kennard has been in the NBA for a little more than a third of his life now, which is kind of wild to think about. He’s moved around, starting with Detroit, then playing for the LA Clippers, the Memphis Grizzlies and the Atlanta Hawks before being traded to the Lakers just before the trade […]
The Super Bowl was pretty fun. And a certain Brave had a pretty good view of both the game and the half time show. While Ronald Acuna Jr. likely had fun seeing football up close, you know that he and his teammates are ready for later this week as Spring Training gets under way. Pitchers […]
There is some video out there of Ronald Acuña playing second base. There’s also footage of Acuña crushing a pitch while swinging left handed. How bananas would it be to see him play 162 games as a switch-hitting second baseman? Ivan ran the numbers, and he said that he would be worth approximately 3700 WAR […]
Well Spring Training is here in only a few days now, but the Braves still have a desire to add a starting pitcher and fortunately there are still some options out there, headlined by Chris Bassitt and Zac Gallen. They’d better get a move on to sign (or trade for) whoever they intend to add […]
The Atlanta Hawks were in action on Saturday evening to face the Charlotte Hornets. The Hawks were coming off a clutch win against the Utah Jazz a couple of days ago, with big help from Jock Landale, who made his debut with the team. The Hawks also will have some new players this time around, […]
The Ravens are continuing to fill out their offensive coaching staff under new coordinator Declan Doyle. The team is expected to hire Broncos pass game specialist Zack Grossi and Falcons assistant Patrick Kramer. Grossi will be the Ravens tight ends coach, per CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz. He worked with Doyle – then the Broncos TEs […]
Surprise, surprise. As I wrote back on January 6, Atlanta’s contract adjustment for Kirk Cousins indicated that they were going to cut him, given that they would have a truly unpalatable cap hit next year if they did not. Now Adam Schefter is reporting that the Falcons are planning to do so before the start […]
