Latest news and updates about the Braves
You’ve certainly got choices in what’s turning out to be a weird (weird good and/or weird bad) season for quite a few teams so far. You can even pick the Braves, especially if you were pessimistic about their chances — though the projections weren’t, so that would be a very personal-adjustment-over-baseline-expectations take. The reason why […]
Mark Bowman of MLB.com tackled the subject that has grown more popular over the past few weeks: a potential trade of Tarik Skubal by the struggling Detroit Tigers. For the Braves specifically, Bowman concluded that while the Braves would obviously love to acquire Skubal, the high prospect cost for a rental likely does not make […]

Catcher Chadwick Tromp elected free agency over the weekend, according to the MLB.com transaction log. He was designated for assignment by the Braves on Thursday when they acquired Austin Wynns in a minor trade with the Angels. Tromp spent a couple weeks on Atlanta’s active roster. He was called up in mid-May when Drake Baldwin went on the […]
Good evening, folks! I hope everybody’s had a lovely start to their day. The Braves may not be in action but sometimes it’s just nice to take some time to look at the standings and relax a bit. Things are looking good for the Braves and days like this are nice to just take it […]
The Atlanta Braves have been rolling right along of late, currently sitting with the best record in the MLB at 45-21 after a sweep over the Pittsburgh Pirates over the weekend. The Braves’ pitching staff has more than held down the fort so far this season despite a slew of injuries, with some key players […] The post Reporter mentions 6 starters Braves should pursue in addition to Tarik Skubal appeared first on ClutchPoints .
The Atlanta Braves are going to be buyers before the MLB trade deadline. They have been the best team in baseball this season, and Atlanta will surely look to further upgrade its roster. With that being said, the Braves may look to trade more than only prospects. Mark Bowman of MLB.com recently mentioned shortstop Ha-Seong […] The post Braves rumors: Shortstop mentioned as trade candidate before deadline appeared first on ClutchPoints .
It’s getting hard to argue that the Atlanta Braves don’t have the best bullpen duo in Major League Baseball with the tandem of Robert Suarez and Raisel Iglesias. Early in the offseason, Atlanta inked Robert Suarez to a three-year, $45 million contract, and it was kind of a shock for a second across MLB, but […] The post Braves’ $45 Million All-Star Player Has Arguably Been Best Addition in MLB appeared first on HEAVY .
If you had told me back in March that during the week where the Atlanta Braves are scheduled to play the Chicago White Sox and the New York Mets that the White Sox would be a bigger (and legitimate) threat against the Braves, I would’ve laughed in your face and/or rejoiced in the fact that […]
The rumors and speculation are at an all-time high surrounding the Detroit Tigers and the trade availability of their ace, Tarik Skubal. Just about every MLB contender in the sport is being ‘linked’ to the reigning Cy Young ace, but even the Tigers don’t know what they will do with Tarik Skubal at this point. […] The post Would a Tarik Skubal Trade to the Braves Make Sense? MLB Reporter Weighs in on Recent Rumors and Speculation appeared first on HEAVY .
When Michael Harris II pulled off another heroic feat in hitting a game-winning pinch-hit double yesterday afternoon, I remarked that it felt pretty unfair to just be able to plop in a guy having one of the better offensive performances in MLB in lieu of Sandy Leon in a key spot. That also brought to […]
Sunday was an extra fun day for the Braves. Heroics from Michael Harris II played a huge part in the Braves 3-2 victory very over the Pirates. This resulted in a sweep of the Pirates, which is notable as the Pirates look to be a playoff contender. Timely hitting and excellent bullpen work continue to […]
The Philadelphia Phillies begin a three-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday, June 8. They currently stand second in the National League, 9.5 games behind the Atlanta Braves.On Sunday, following the conclusion of their 9-5 win over the Chicago White Sox, former Phillies outfielder Max Kepler signed with the Arizona Diamondbacks.

I mentioned in the series recap for the Toronto Blue Jays series that the relative lack of sweeps for the Atlanta Braves in the midst of this excellent season so far was the definition of complaining about first-world problems as far as baseball was concerned. It’s difficult to complain about anything when Atlanta has both […]
The Atlanta Braves entered Sunday’s game against the Pittsburgh Pirates with a heavily taxed bullpen after a busy week. With all their top relievers down for the game, the club needed someone to step up in the late innings.Rookie reliever Didier Fuentes answered the call in the ninth, securing the final three outs to complete […] The post Braves Rookie Reliever Makes History After Bullpen Emergency in Pirates Series appeared first on HEAVY .
Good afternoon, folks! How’s the first week of June treating you? So far, so good for the Braves. Having been to three (3) games this week, I can confirm it’s getting to be hot and humid in a way that home run balls particularly like. To my inexpert eye in the upper deck, it looked […]
Sunday series sweep or same old story? To be clear, winning 18 out of 21 series this season is absolutely remarkable. Historical feats left and right for a team that isn’t fully healthy or all-the-way clicking yet. We love it! For only two of those series wins being sweeps is just interesting. Our poor brooms, […]
On a Friday night, the Pittsburgh Pirates lost 6-3 to the Atlanta Braves on the road. With that loss, a new issue is opening up for the team, and the issue is starting pitcher Mitch Keller. Keller started the game, and he went 4.2 innings allowing seven hits, six earned runs and walking three batters. […]
Saturday’s big story in the Atlanta Braves system seemed like it would be Tate Southisene making his High-A debut after being promoted earlier in the day – but one of his teammates stole the show, as Eric Hartman knocked two home runs and stole a base to continue his impressive run in Rome. Southisene’s High-A […]
Yesterday was fun. The Braves won a game that Braxton Ashcraft started. Dom Smith hit a homer. Austin Riley chipped in with a double. Tyler Kinley pitched a scoreless eighth. And Mauricio Dubon stole home plate. It’s one of those “steal by association” ones, but stealing home can be difficult without doing that. So do […]
Mauricio Dubón’s Braves will be looking to end the homestand and first week of June with a 5-2 record with a sweep of the Pittsburgh Pirates this afternoon. After two consecutive games with a final score of 6-3, Atlanta has a chance to beat the “series win hangover / complacent in game 3” allegations. C’mon, […]
The Braves now have two top 100 position-player prospects in high-A Rome. Eric Hartman continues to hit the cover off the ball with a tantalizing power-hit-speed package as a 19-year-old who was taken in the 20th round of the 2024 draft. That seems like incredible value and frankly incredible luck that the Braves still signed […]
The Atlanta Braves took game one of the series against the surprisingly good Pittsburg Pirates last night and look to take the series today. Braxton Ashcraft has been one of the key reasons the Pirates have a winning record. Not only does he have a 2.77 ERA, but he has an ERA of 1.97 in […]
