Didier Fuentes has indeed made the Braves’ Opening Day roster and that is an exciting development for Braves fans, as the 20 year old has looked phenomenal this spring. There have been shades of vintage Spencer Strider from Fuentes this spring, but he may still need that third pitch to be able to consistently be […]
Although arguably the team’s three best prospects were not apart of the roster, the Atlanta Braves top prospects completed the third season of the Spring Breakout Series with an 8-3 win over the Yankees prospects on Saturday night, going up early and leading almost the whole way. Even with Didier Fuentes, JR Ritchie, and Cam […]
A new tradition to Spring Training is once again gracing us prospect enthusiasts as the Spring Breakout game is here. What is Spring Breakout? It’s a new showcase added to Spring Training where every team around the league highlight their top rated prospects in a competition against one another. Next year, it will be expanded […]
We had a great matchup of two dominant lefties in Spring Training on Saturday, with Chris Sale facing Garrett Crochet and Sale’s former team, the Red Sox. Sale gave up two very hard-hit balls in the first at over 104 MPH each, but only allowed a walk for a single baserunner. Sale was able to […]
The third iteration of the now annual Spring Breakout prospect showcase is set to continue on Saturday, and the Atlanta Braves prospects will be taking on the New York Yankees in a game that brings renewed enthusiasm for Braves prospects. After revitalizing the hitting talent with a focus on position player talent in the early […]
The Braves have one of their final tune-ups of spring against the Red Sox and they are facing Garrett Crochet, who has had a fairly unimpressive spring. Still, the star pitcher who the Braves reportedly were interested in trading for should be a good test for the Braves’ bats. You can see the lineups here […]
The Braves have signed veterans Dominic Smith and Kyle Farmer to split contracts for the 2026, likely signaling they will be on the opening day roster to begin the season. The club announced the moves on Saturday morning as they made final preparations for the upcoming season, which kicks off on Friday. As Mark Bowman […]
We are now days away from Opening Day for the Atlanta Braves which means it is time for the final Opening Day roster projection. For a look at the prior projections, start with the last version on March 12. Most seasons, who make the Opening Day roster matters little in the grand scheme of things, […]
The Braves shed 9 players on Thursday and Friday. The roster is starting to take shape. The Braves say that there are 36 players that are “in camp.” So here’s what we came up with for those 36: Pitchers (19)Aaron Bummer, Bryce Elder, Didier Fuentes, Daysbel Hernández, Grant Holmes, Raisel Iglesias, Tyler Kinley, Dylan Lee, […]
It was reported Friday evening that the Atlanta Braves inked a minor league deal with first baseman Rowdy Tellez. The 31-year-old is set to enter his ninth MLB season. He split the 2025 campaign between the Seattle Mariners and Texas Rangers, where he combined for a .228 batting average. In his career, Tellez owns a […]
After the conclusion of tonight’s game against the Pittsburgh Pirates, Jon Heyman reported that the Atlanta Braves have added veteran first baseman/designated hitter Rowdy Tellez on a minor league deal. The left-handed hitting Tellez is an eight-year big league veteran who has posted double-digit home runs in every season since 2019, outside of the COVID-shortened […]
Atlanta’s bats continued to make some noise here in the Grapefruit League as the Braves slugged their way to yet another win during spring training action. It took a while for the bats to get going but once they did, a couple of the Braves regular made their presence felt in a loud manner. Jorge […]
The Atlanta Braves have trimmed their camp roster down to 36 players today after optioning left-handed reliever Dylan Dodd to Triple-A Gwinnett and reassigning top pitching prospect JR Ritchie, catcher Sandy León, utilityman Luke Williams, and outfielders José Azócar and Ben Gamel to their minor league camp. Dodd, who pitched well out of Atlanta’s bullpen […]
We got a night game again and seven days from now, we’ll be gearing up to see the Atlanta Braves playing in a game that actually counts. As far as tonight goes, there’s still a few more tune-ups to go before we can get rocking and rolling again. Ronald Acuña Jr. is officially back in […]
We’ve got some more news pertaining to Opening Day (which is officially a week away from today — excited yet?). Earlier today, we got word that Chris Sale would be the Opening Day starter for the Atlanta Braves in 2026 and now there’s a bit more clarity as to where you can watch the Braves […]
The headline speaks for itself, Officially a week a way, The Atlanta Braves will be taking on the Kansas City Royals at Truist Park with Chris Sale (2025 ERA: 2.58) taking the mound. He will be facing Royals’ starter Cole Ragans (2025 ERA: 4.67 ERA), who will be looking for his first Opening Day victory […]
As usual, this figures to be the strongest division in baseball — one where you could make an argument for four teams and if you squinted really hard, a fifth one as well. Still, this division has sent the American League representative to the World Series for the past two seasons in a row and […]
This time one year ago, the notion that three of the National League’s playoffs teams would have come from the Central was farfetched, and yet, by the time the post-season began, the division champion Milwaukee Brewers were joined by the Wild Card entrants Chicago Cubs and Cincinnati Reds. The NL Central featured several 2025 award […]
The Braves have been killing it in Spring Training, but the roster still looks like it could use some upgrades. Some of those upgrades might even come courtesy of players still in other camps at the moment — provided the Braves find something they like. This hasn’t been a huge source of contribution in years […]
As expected, Atlanta Braves outfielder Jurickson Profar will miss the entire 2026 season after his PED suspension was upheld following an appeal. The ban covers 162 games and also renders him ineligible for the postseason. Major League Baseball announced earlier this month that Profar tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs. This marks his second violation, as […]
Okay, so we’ve got to talk about Didier Fuentes. I think everybody here knows by now that spring training results should usually be taken with a grain of salt. The level of competition can vary from “everyday big league starter” to “ Guy who is really hoping to make it to Double-A this season” and […]
Earlier this month, Jurickson Profar shocked the baseball world with his incredibly foolish decision to take Performance-Enhancing Drugs the year after he had been suspended for 80 games in the past. Upon failing another test, Major League Baseball suspended Profar for the entirety of the 2026 regular season and Postseason. However, the MLBPA did their […]
As we close in on Opening Day for the 2026 season, now is a time to start to take a look at some of the prospects who have seen their stock rise this spring within the Atlanta Braves system. Making this list isn’t just based on what we have seen in spring training games – […]
Now that the WBC is over, back to your regularly scheduled attempts for me to come up with a relevant question to pose every weekday morning. But hey, at least today, I have a good one. Earlier this week, Eric Longenhagen snagged for FanGraphs, of all places, an exclusive regarding additional rules changes that MLB […]
Didier Fuentes is doing his best to make his case for the Opening Day roster, as he is lighting up the radar gun and opposing hitters this spring. He has currently pitched 9.0 scoreless innings with 17(!!!) strikeouts and 0 walks, which is just preposterous stuff even in a small sample against varied levels of […]
