Latest news and updates about the Braves
The Braves beat the Marlins 4-2 on Tuesday for their sixth straight win behind a marvelous performance from Grant Holmes, who might have been sending a message to the many complaining about an underwhelming trade deadline. Just as importantly, when discussing potential options to start a playoff game two months from now, AJ Smith-Shawver turned […]
The Atlanta Braves kicked off the series against the Miami Marlins with a 4-2 win on Tuesday evening. Despite some drama in the later innings, Grant Holmes made the start and pitched a gem.

Two win streaks entered, and one had to snap. And thankfully, your Atlanta Braves took the series opener versus the Miami Marlins to win six games straight, matching a season-high mark from April. The Marlins’ fledgling streak ends at three as the Braves hang on to win 4-2 amid some late inning tomfoolery. That win-streak […]
The Braves’ trade deadline was a massive disappointment, and while the discussion around it will carry on until the end of the season, it’s time to look ahead and dissect how this team could piece together 27 outs when October baseball arrives. The bullpen, which has been the club’s biggest strength all season, will undoubtedly […]
The wailing and gnashing of teeth can cease, everyone: the Atlanta Braves Baseball Club returns to action after their much-needed off day. That’s what the uptick in site traffic was for, right? With reinforcements in hand, the Atlanta Braves kick off a new series versus the Miami Marlins tonight at Truist Park. With the Marlins […]
Well, folks. 6 pm ET on Monday, August 3 has come and gone. The rollercoaster of highs, lows, headscratchers, and everything else in yesterday’s MLB trade deadline frenzy have all of us crashing… or crashing out. I think this post from Mike Petriello sums it up nicely: The trade deadline presents us with a rare […]
The Braves announced yesterday that Jorge Mateo has been designated for assignment, and Ha-Seong Kim has been reinstated from the Injured List. That was always the likeliest course of action given the $20 million Atlanta paid Kim in the offseason, but it doesn’t appear he’ll be the everyday starter. That title still belongs to rookie […]
Your new and improved* Braves are here. Fifty games left in the 2026 regular season. Let’s get after it. *your mileage may vary based on your trade deadline opinions. August started off in sweet and sweep-y fashion – the Washington Nationals entered the series a game over .500 and left two games under. The Braves […]
According to the Gwinnett Stripers transaction log, the Braves have released five-time All-Star Andrew McCutchen. McCutchen inked a minor-league contract with the Braves about a month ago after being released by the Rangers. It was always a long shot he’d work his way back onto a major-league roster, and the acquisition of Lane Thomas ahead […]
The Braves released a trio of veterans from their Triple-A affiliate yesterday, per the transaction log at MiLB.com: outfielder/designated hitter Andrew McCutchen, left-hander Austin Gomber and outfielder Ben Gamel.

For weeks, the Atlanta Braves were forecasted to be one of the busiest teams before Monday's MLB Trade Deadline. With a clear need for starting pitching and the
Recently, the Atlanta Braves had a quiet MLB trade deadline, to the frustration of many fans. The Braves technically did something to address their starting pitching problem by acquiring Tyler Mahle from the San Francisco Giants, but it was still an underwhelming trade deadline for a team that clearly needed some revamping. Now, Braves insider […] The post Reporter says quiet part out loud about Braves’ trade deadline appeared first on ClutchPoints .
Recently, the Atlanta Braves concluded their trade deadline strategy with a whimper, settling for a couple of moves on the margins of the pitching department as opposed to any big splashes. The Braves acquired Tyler Mahle from the San Francisco Giants and Brent Suter from the Los Angeles Angels, but it was still overall a […] The post How Alex Anthopoulos attempted to justify Braves’ disappointing trade deadline appeared first on ClutchPoints .
The Atlanta Braves failed to trade for another star starting pitcher before the MLB trade deadline. Bringing in a frontline starter seemed to be a necessity, but it did not come to fruition for Atlanta.

As more insight emerges about the Braves’ disappointing trade deadline, it’s becoming evident Alex Anthopoulos had his eyes fixed on the top of the starting pitching market — and if he couldn’t get what he wanted, he felt comfortable standing pat. Ken Rosenthal reported on multiple occasions about Atlanta’s interest in Jacob deGrom, who ultimately […]
Over the next several days — and possibly much longer — there will be very few positive comments about what the Braves accomplished at the trade deadline, whether from fans or outside voices. It was an unmitigated disaster, a complete and total failure from the entire front office. For a brief moment, though, I’ll break […]
All the attention surrounding the Braves’ horrendous trade deadline will center on their failure to add a playoff-caliber starting pitcher, and rightfully so. It’s been the club’s single biggest weakness for years now. But Atlanta’s refusal to add any significant piece to the pitching staff at all is just as appalling. There’s more than one […]
The trade deadline passed 12 hours ago, and most of Braves Country is still trying to figure out how the hell Alex Anthopoulos didn’t come away with one meaningful addition to the rotation. And no, Tyler Mahle doesn’t count. Speaking to the media last night, Anthopoulos wouldn’t get into specifics, but his thinking became pretty […]
The 2026 Trade Deadline was the usual blend of chaos and surprises that we see most years. However, despite the fact that the Braves were busy on Monday like most teams, it was the move they did not make that will ultimately define their day and perhaps their season. A major hole remains in the […]
The Atlanta Braves entered Monday’s MLB trade deadline at 67–45 with an off night on the schedule. After the Philadelphia Phillies defeated the Washington Nationals 6–3, the club’s National League East lead stands at 7.5 games.

The trade deadline has come and gone and Jacob deGrom remains a Texas Rangers player.

This article will focus on Uberstine, who was ranked by Baseball America as Boston’s No. 19 prospect after making his major league debut earlier this season. Uberstine … Continue reading "Which prospect did Red Sox trade to Braves for Eli White?"
There aren’t many teams in a given season that can justify going all-in at the trade deadline. The Braves were one of them. A talented core smack in the middle of its championship window. Several obvious holes to fill. A club 22 games over .500 and all but locked into October baseball. And for the […]
I’m going to start this by addressing the headline. When it comes to Atlanta Braves President of Baseball Operations/General Manager Alex Anthopoulos’ claims that the Braves got better after the 2026 Trade Deadline, I’ll let this clip from Futurama speak for me: I mean, the Braves did add Tyler Mahle to the rotation, they added […]
