Latest news and updates about the Braves
Royals senior vice president Scott Sharp and Braves assistant general manager Ben Sestanovich are candidates for the Astros’ general manager position, reports Chandler Rome of The Athletic. They join a trio of known candidates whom Bob Nightengale of USA Today and Rome reported to be on the radar this afternoon: Matt Kleine, Josh Barfield and […]
If the Los Angeles Angels decide to improve a weak farm system, trading 25-year-old shortstop Zach Neto would net a massive return. The Braves, Red Sox and Phillies could take interest.
As I wrote earlier this offseason, the Braves have a ton of pending free agents. A few of these decisions are relatively cut and dried, but in most cases you could make an argument to bring the guy back if the money makes sense. Here’s the full list, with thoughts on whether the Braves should […]
The best advice I could’ve given any particular Atlanta Braves fan about the 2026 team in general is that on most nights, you might want to wait until the seventh inning to tune in. That was usually when this offense started to work its magic, and the proof is in the pudding with this particular […]
Aaron Bummer has truly had a fascinating career. If we’re judging solely by the eye test, he’s had the type of career that makes you wonder if he just walks under ladders, breaks mirrors and hangs out with black cats all the time because of his hilariously high BABIP-against numbers and the fact that he […]
Pretty much the title. The current matchup is a matchup of the two teams with the best records in their respective leagues. This hasn’t been a recent rarity: 2024, 2020 I guess, and 2013 have all featured the same. (Also 1999, 1995, and 1992, all featuring the Braves.) It’s also a matchup that guarantees a […]
34 years ago: Devon White made the most incredible catch I’ve ever witnessed. The Jays pulled off a 3-2 victory, grabbing a 2-1 series lead. Without that catch, the outcome could have been very different—two runs would have scored, giving the Braves a runner in scoring position with no outs. This pivotal play happened in […]
Atlanta seems open to moving on from its franchise outfielder, but it's still going to take a haul.
If nothing else, the White Sox are the only team that can say it pulled off an upset this October. Even then, the White Sox had a better record than the team they ousted in the Wild Card Series, but in terms of seeds, their victory over No. 3 Houston as the No. 6 seed in the American League registered as the only non-chalk outcome in the postseason: No. 6 White Sox over No. 3 Astros No. 4 Yankees over No. 5 Red Sox No. 3 Braves over No. 6 Phillies No. 4 Padres over No. 5 Cubs No....
The Atlanta Braves season may be over, but there is still a lot of baseball yet to be played. The Cleveland Guardians are on the brink of elimination in their hope of winning their first World Series since 1948 and they will be facing the Tampa Bay Rays in search of their first ever World […]
Tiger Woods often leaves his fellow golfers in awe with his extraordinary skills. However, former St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright claimed that another athlete had managed to impress even the 15-time major champion. That man was former Atlanta Braves pitcher John Smoltz. Speaking on the We Need a Fourth podcast, Wainwright revealed why. “Tiger […] The post ‘Best Amateur Golfer’: Tiger Woods’ High Praise Comes to Light After Witnessing Stunning Form appeared first on EssentiallySpo...
It’s that time again. Everybody loves home runs and now (thanks to Statcast) it’s time to take a look back at 10 of the longest home runs of the season for the Atlanta Braves during the 2026 regular season. As you can imagine by Atlanta’s return to the Postseason, the homers flew early and often […]
Happy 2026 Battery Power Player Review season to all who… celebrate? This particular season was ripe with weirdness and what-ifs. It seems only fitting that we will kick off this year’s series with one of the most polarizing of players to don a Braves uniform this year: infielder and presumed Opening Day shortstop Ha-Seong Kim. […]
As I stumble towards maybe actually doing something about all the preseason production predictions we put in, one question stands out, because it was quickly resolved: I asked folks to prognosticate on the Braves’ next manager, and while I didn’t think anyone would’ve actually guessed Walt Weiss, turns out that a fair bit of people […]
While the offseason has started for 27 of 30 MLB teams, not much news is out there as teams can only currently focus on business with players on their roster. And though he is under contract, one player the Braves will need to focus on is Jurickson Profar. As reported over the past few days, […]
The Atlanta Braves are one of the most famous professional teams in sports history. Throughout their lengthy history, some of […]
One of the benefits of watching your team continue in the playoffs is that you don’t have to think about the holes in your team until you exit. And once you do, you begin the arduous task of considering how it all went wrong. Dealing with the holes in the team can be pretty straightforward. […]
As we approach the offseason and it increasingly looks like we will get a window for transactions before a likely lockout in early December. Last time we had a CBA negotiation and associated lockout, there was a flurry of transactions before the lockout, as teams and players looked to lock in some certainty before an […]
The Atlanta Braves have already made some moves this offseason, according to the transaction log. Most notably, infielder Brett Wisely was selected to the major league roster. Outfielder DaShawn Keirsey Jr. was outrighted to Triple-A Gwinnett, and infielder Luke Williams elected free agency. Given his limited big league experience, the decision to add Wisely to […]
Atlanta Braves outfielder Jurickson Profar is still owed $15 million for 2027, yet nobody in the organization has reportedly heard from him. Two PED suspensions, a changed phone number, and a Venezuelan winter ball deal have made this offseason messy. “Jurickson Profar ‘disappeared off the face of the Earth’ after his 2nd PED suspension, per […] The post “Reportedly Disappeared Off the Face of the Earth”: MLB Star Reportedly Changes Number and Goes Missing After PED Suspension appeared first...
The Detroit Tigers are adding former Major League Baseball catcher Martin Maldonado to their coaching staff as a quality control coach, reuniting the 40-year-old with manager AJ Hinch. Maldonado, who spent 14 seasons in MLB, will join Detroit after working as a special assistant with the Atlanta Braves during the 2026 season. The Athletic first […] The post Long-time catcher joins Tigers coaching staff after 14 MLB seasons appeared first on ClutchPoints .
Rangers pitcher Jacob deGrom and Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies are among those we believe the Los Angeles Dodgers must pursue this offseason.
The Phillies in 2026 finished 15th in MLB with 105 stolen bases. They did not steal a base during the three-game wild card series against the Atlanta Braves. The full-season numbers do not tell the entire story. The Phillies in the first half were a top-ten team in stolen bases with 74. After the All-Star […]
The Atlanta Braves have been making some small and quiet moves with their roster since their elimination in the NLDS and here’s another one. After they selected Danny Young’s contract last week, the Braves have decided to do the same with Brett Wisely as well. DaShawn Keirsey Jr. ended up getting outrighted to Triple-A Gwinnett […]
The Braves won the NL East and defeated the Phillies in the wild card round before falling to the Dodgers in the NLDS. It was a nice return to form for the Braves after their injury-marred 76-86 season in 2025, but Atlanta will need to fill some roster holes and perhaps address some broader concerns […]
