Latest news and updates about the Braves
Ninety-four wins and a division title would satisfy most franchises in baseball. But when you’re the Braves — winners of 24 division titles and two World Series since 1991 — another quick postseason exit makes all of that regular-season success feel pretty hollow. Especially when you look at how the season actually played out. The […]
(1-9) Glendale Desert Dogs 8, (6-3) Surprise Saguaros 17 box score Statcast Safe to say that Glendale isn’t much of a contender in the Arizona Fall League. They dropped another game in blowout fashion, one which was sloppy at best due to the pitching staff allowing 13 walks. Braves representatives did provide bright spots, however, […]
There were a lot of comments at some point in the past eleven months or so that said something like, “Who cares about xyz, you’ll do it for a chance to lose to the Dodgers in October…” Well, it’s October, and… only the Braves lost to the Dodgers therein. Every other team either lost to […]
Half of the World Series matchup is set after the Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-4 to sweep the NLCS. While the Atlanta Braves are sitting this one out, the hot stove is beginning to simmer as the club has been connected to a pitcher from Nippon Professional Baseball. Hiromi Itoh was reportedly […]
The New York Yankees could put together a beefy trade package for Ronald Acuña Jr. that just might tempt the Atlanta Braves.
The Braves added infielder Brett Wisely to their 40-man roster, according to the MLB.com transaction tracker. Atlanta sent outfielder DaShawn Keirsey Jr. outright off the roster in a corresponding move, suggesting they quietly placed him on waivers this week. The tracker also indicates that Luke Williams officially elected free agency, a formality after he cleared outright waivers yesterday. […]
It took roughly two weeks for Phillies President of Baseball Operations Dave Dombrowski to address the media after Chris Sale and the Atlanta Braves ended their season. Dombrowski answered questions for slightly less than an hour on wide ranging issues between Trea Turner, the coaching staff, and the farm system. They really like Bryan Rincon. […]
The offseason is here and plenty of folks have opinions on what the Atlanta Braves should do during the offseason. Because there’s no such thing as having enough pitching and the fact that Braves President/GM Alex Anthopoulos recently stated that both Spencer Schwellenbach and Spencer Strider may not be reliable options to get a ton […]
The Pittsburgh Pirates are on the couch watching the LCS once again this season. It’s been 34 years since the Pirates were in the NLCS themselves, where they lost to the Atlanta Braves in seven games. This season, however, they managed to play pretty well against the top teams in the league. Here’s a look […]
While Freddie Freeman continues to decline with the Los Angeles Dodgers, Matt Olson is in the middle of his prime for the Atlanta Braves, making the decision to let Freeman walk easier to digest for Braves fans.
Ronald Acuña Jr. — somewhat unfairly, considering how few Braves showed up to play all postseason — took the brunt of the criticism after Atlanta fell to the Dodgers in the NLDS. He didn’t come close to the standard he’s set for himself. This is a player who, when healthy, has been a top-five talent […]
As the postseason wraps up without the Braves, it’s beginning to get into the season for awards and a flurry of offseason activity before the seemingly inevitable lockout. Braves News The Braves had a few finalists for Gold Glove awards and Players Choice awards. MLBTR released their annual arbitration estimates, including for five Braves. MLB […]
The Braves sent utility player Luke Williams through outright waivers, according to the MLB.com transaction log. Atlanta designated him for assignment last week when they added Danny Young to the roster to keep him out of minor league free agency this offseason. Williams hasn’t technically elected free agency, according to the tracker, but it’s a formality that […]
The Atlanta Braves could decide to move on from Ronald Acuña Jr. after a brutal postseason, but it would require a massive haul. Which team can meet their price?
The Atlanta Braves have four 2026 Rawlings Gold Glove finalists, including ace Chris Sale, following Wednesday’s announcement from MLB. Rawlings named Sale a finalist at pitcher, Matt Olson at first base, Michael Harris II in center field and Mauricio Dubon at utility. All four earned recognition for their defensive performances throughout the regular season. Sale, […] The post Braves ace Chris Sale among 4 Atlanta Gold Glove finalists appeared first on ClutchPoints .
Blake Snell stands on the mound ahead of his Game 2 start in the National League Division Series against the Atlanta Braves at UNIQLO Field at Dodger Stadium on Oct. 4. (Carrie Giordano/Los Angeles Dodgers) by Megan Garcia Blake Snell wants to get back to himself. That means being in control of his team’s destiny. That’s who he most often has been — so good that his pitching has been the overwhelming factor in a Dodger victory. That’s one big factor the Dodgers are looking for as they seek the...
The finalists for the Gold Glove awards have been announced, and four Braves are among the nominees — Chris Sale, Michael Harris II, Matt Olson, and Mauricio Dubon.

With the MLB postseason no longer delivering frenetic news days given that we’re in League Championship Series season, where there’s not even two games on most days, it’s time for the faux-anticipation of dropping finalists (not winners, finalists) for certain end-of-season awards. We’ve got two on the docket today. First, Gold Gloves. I have a […]

With the offseason underway (for our Atlanta Braves, at least), it’s time to start looking forward to the future — well, as much as you can when you consider what awaits the baseball world once the start of December rolls around. Either way, teams are going to be keeping it business as usual until that […]
Earlier today Rawlings announced the finalists for this years Gold Glove awards. TJ Rumfield was named as a finalist among National League first basemen alongside Matt Olson of the Atlanta Braves and Ty France of the San Diego Padres. Rumfield’s consistent glove work helped stabilize the Rockies infield all season, and it appears as though […]
It’s tough to know exactly how much the Braves will have to spend this offseason, thanks to the looming lockout. But if last year is any guide, the number is probably somewhere around $35-45 million. That’s enough for one or two meaningful additions — but with this many holes to fill, Anthopoulos will almost certainly […]
As we gear up for a winter that will hopefully be filled with improvements to the Braves’ roster, let’s take a trip down memory lane and grade what Alex Anthopoulos actually got done this time last year. This is often where World Series are won — and unfortunately for the Braves, Anthopoulos hasn’t conjured much […]
I had this weird thought the other day: 2026 was someone’s first Braves season. And, I mean, yeah, there’s a possibility that “first Braves season” meant the first time being aware of the Braves as a small child — which is probably fun in the moment, but won’t stick as a “season” in the memory […]
Despite an early exit in the NLDS for the Atlanta Braves, the Postseason rolled on with Game 2 of the ALCS on Tuesday. The Tampa Bay Rays defeated the Cleveland Guardians 3-1 to even the series. The NLCS continues this evening between the Milwaukee Brewers and Los Angeles Dodgers. Braves News: There are plenty of […]
