Latest news and updates about the Braves
On paper, the Braves and the Blue Jays make perfect sense as trade partners. The Braves are obvious buyers sitting atop the NL East, while the Blue Jays are in last place in the AL East and 5.5 games back of the final wild card spot with several teams between them. They are likely sellers, […]

Over the last several years, talented position player prospects in the Braves farm system have been few and far between. The good news is the couple they had — Michael Harris II and Drake Baldwin — turned into superstars. But the depth was severely lacking. That’s been flipped on its head this season. More than […]
There is so much to talk about for the Braves minor league system from the opener of this week’s action. The Tate Southisene hit by pitch that forced him from the game is the news that could have the biggest ramifications on the rest of the season, but it was by far the low point […]
With the calendar about to turn to August, the Braves get another pitcher back off the injured list to make his season debut in the opening game of Wednesday’s road doubleheader at the New York Mets. AJ Smith-Shawver will make his first major league start back from Tommy John surgery for the 1:10 p.m. ET […]
The Atlanta Braves announced Tuesday that they have selected the contract of right-hander Elieser Hernández and optioned left-hander Connor Thomas to Triple-A Gwinnett. The move comes after Monday’s game, where Thomas gave up 11 earned runs in just 2.2 innings against the New York Mets. Hernández is back with Atlanta after appearing for the club […]
The Braves’ focus ahead of the trade deadline: pitching, pitching, and more pitching, with a little side of offense. The club needs to add someone who can, at the very least, platoon in left field and at DH, but their top priorities undoubtedly surround the rotation and a bullpen that’s struggled mightily over the last […]
The Braves re-signed infielder Kyle Farmer to a minor league contract and assigned him to Triple-A Gwinnett. He would’ve debuted with the Stripers tonight before the game was rained out. Farmer is back in the organization after being released last week. He’d spent the season on the big league roster around a six-week injured list stint […]
As the Detroit Tigers mull over whether or not to move Tarik Skubal at the deadline, here's a realistic trade package for every contender linked to the ace.
Well, tomorrow’s going to be a busy one! The Braves and Mets played through a little bit of rain during Monday night’s debacle and even though tonight has already been declared a washout, there’s a chance that they may have to dodge some more raindrops tomorrow as well. The weather is looking really bleak either […]
The four areas the Braves could stand to upgrade going into the trade deadline are the rotation, bullpen, shortstop, and left field. Yesterday, I came up with three trade hypotheticals for the top starting pitchers who could be available. Now it’s time to talk relievers. Mason Miller Braves receive: Mason Miller Padres receive: Eric Hartman, […]
The Braves have had their game with the New York Mets rained out. Does that mean they’re standing pat today? No, sir or madam. Do you think they’re out there actively trying to improve the team? In theory. The Atlanta Braves, who hold a five and a half game lead in the NL East and […]
Unfortunately, Tuesday night’s clash with the Mets has already been postponed, but that does mean we get two games tomorrow between the division rivals, and the Braves are preparing accordingly with a couple of notable roster moves. First and foremost, AJ Smith-Shawver is expected to make his season debut — the first time he’ll be […]
The Braves selected the contract of right-hander Elieser Hernández from Triple-A Gwinnett, per a team announcement. Lefty Connor Thomas was optioned to Gwinnett in his place. It’s the second big league stint of the season with Atlanta for Hernández, the former Marlins hurler who spent the 2024-25 seasons with the Korea Baseball Organization’s LG Twins. […]
According to Ken Rosenthal, after the Tigers dropped their third consecutive game last night, the baseball world is officially on Tarik Skubal watch. “Until Tuesday, some rival executives resisted calling the Detroit Tigers on left-hander Tarik Skubal, trying to be respectful as the team fought to remain in contention,” Rosenthal writes for The Athletic. “With […]
Tonight’s game at Citi Field has been postponed. In anticipation of rain in Flushing this evening, the Mets and Braves will now play a split doubleheader tomorrow, July 29. The first game will start at its previously scheduled time, 1:10 PM ET. Parking lots will open at 10:40 AM ET, and the gates will open […]
It’s approaching the six-week mark since Robert Suarez last appeared for the Braves after being placed on the IL with elbow and forearm inflammation. Further tests revealed no structural damage, and it felt like something that was just going to need a couple of weeks of rest before he was back throwing again. The fact that […]
Connor Thomas got thrown to the wolves on Monday night, and the Mets’ broadcast booth could barely stomach watching it happen. The Braves reliever was left in to twist against New York’s lineup long after the outcome had been decided, and by the time Atlanta finally mercy-killed the outing, Thomas had been shelled for 11…
The Braves need starting pitching. Why not Nathan Eovaldi of the Texas Rangers? Texas currently leads the AL West, so trading Eovaldi is unlikely. But he'd be a natural fit in Atlanta.
There are a ton of teams still teetering on the line of whether they’ll be buyers or sellers leading up to the trade deadline. None of them are garnering more attention than the Detroit Tigers, who just dropped their third game in a row on Monday night and are now six games back in the […]
Gone are the days of no international free agents making the list as three from this last period debut on the list, as well as a 2025 stand out. We also begin to see an influx of positional prospects throughout the list, as pitchers are no longer the dominant representatives on this list. Strong, projectable […]
Even though the Mets clobbered the Braves by 11 runs last night, they still sit 17.5 games back and are one of baseball’s for-sure sellers as Monday’s trade deadline approaches. But the Mets aren’t your typical sellers — they have a lot of valuable pieces that could attract any club, many of which should draw […]
Monday started off in a good way for Braves Country as Ronald Acuna Jr. returned from injury. However, it did not end well as the Braves lost in a big way to the Mets by the score of 14-3. While simply a loss to forget and move on from, the Braves need to get back […]
Meet the Mets The Mets had themselves quite the night in the series opener against the Atlanta Braves, crushing their rivals to the tune of 14-3. Zac Thornton continued his run of success with his fourth straight quality start, and the bats slugged four home runs—including two from Francisco Lindor. Choose your recap: Amazin’ Avenue, […]
The San Diego Padres starters’ ERA was at 4.69, 27th in baseball, going into the series against the Miami Marlins on July 24. The day before, in the last of the Atlanta Braves series, Griffin Canning had an opener (Kyle Hart) and still only lasted 2.2 innings after allowing five runs on five hits with […]
