The 2026 Hall of Fame Class will be announced on Tuesday. Several former Braves on on the ballot for consideration, but the one name that likely is being followed the most is Andruw Jones. In his 9th and second to last year of initial eligibility, Jones is projected to have a very good shot at […]

After the initial “how?” and “why?” queries in response to Ha-Seong Kim slated to miss the first few weeks of the season with a hand injury sustained from slipping on ice, the next question is, “Okay, so who’s going to replace him on the roster?” The Braves took at least a tentative step towards answering […]

Prior entries: Back when I was updating IWAG in earnest, one of the flags or parameters that I put in was essentially a confidence rating — not just of the point estimate, but the distribution. Not surprisingly, my work and research indicated that it is a lot easier to forecast the upcoming season of a […]

Even though the calendar says 2026, Sunday unfortunately felt a lot like 2025 for the Braves. Ha-Seong Kim, whom the Braves resigned this offseason, will now miss a good portion of the 2026 season with a torn finger tendon. It was a freak injury that occurred when Kim slipped on a piece of ice in […]

The surgery took place today and is expected to miss four to five months. Kim was signed this off-season on a one-year, $20M contract after the Braves claimed […]

In the fallout of the Dodgers signing Kyle Tucker to a huge free agency deal, there has been much discussion around the spending disparity in this sport. This is a complicated issue that is sure to take center stage when CBA negotiations take place next offseason in what seems assured to be another work stoppage. […]

I found that anywhere you go, ballparks are really proud of their food and drinks. Yeah, captive pricing plays a part, but it’s usually a 50 to 75 percent markup on restaurant food. The football stadium in Atlanta is very reasonable, though. For last year’s Peach Bowl, we got tickets, 2 hot dogs, a drink, […]

The big news this week is the Dodgers winning the Kyle Tucker and the Mets grabbing Bo Bichette. It’s some big money. Kyle Tucker is getting that partially deferred 60MM AAV and Bo Bichette is getting an player option protected 43MM AAV. I don’t begrudge them. They’re both at the top of a very high […]

Though a quiet day for the Atlanta Braves, it was a pretty active day for other clubs in the NL East. The Braves may not have made any blockbuster moves on Friday, but the slow day did give us a chance to look at Austin Riley’s 2025 season and gear up for a (hopefully) successful […]

Prior entries: The Braves haven’t had too fun of a time lately. Neither has Austin Riley. This isn’t a pure coincidence — a thermonuclear Austin Riley can carry a team for a month, and the Braves haven’t gotten that, for one reason or another, for a while. While the team has maneuvered to be different […]

The Atlanta Braves lost a good source of depth on Thursday, as left-hander José Suarez was claimed off waivers by the Baltimore Orioles. The 28-year-old made seven appearances for the Braves last season. He picked up two wins, put together a 1.86 ERA, and recorded one save. In November, he avoided arbitration with the Braves […]

The Atlanta Braves lost left-handed pitcher José Suarez on waivers to the Baltimore Orioles. Suarez, 28, was a depth option for the Braves as a long-reliever and spot-starter. Atlanta traded for Suarez at the end of last year’s Spring Training in what was essentially a swap of two out-of-option pitchers, with Suarez coming to the […]

Today is January 15 (or the new July 2): The date for the international free agents in the current class to finally sign with their potential future big league clubs. The Braves are in the process of signing their 2025/2026 crop right now. At the moment four players are considered signed, with a number of […]

The Atlanta Braves have just announced their opening day ticket sale on their social media platforms and have a quick process to secure a spot to watch the Braves take on the Kansas City Royals on Friday, March 27th.

The Braves don’t currently have a TV partner, as we explained earlier this week. The owners of FanDuel Sports Network have made a last-ditch attempt to carry the nine teams, and boy is it a doozy. Last week, nine MLB teams terminated their contracts with Fanduel Sports Network’s owners after a roughly four-year saga including […]

Well the options appear to be dwindling for the Braves to grab a starting pitcher, as Ranger Suarez signed a big 5 year $130 million deal with Boston. That said, the buzz has been more on Framber Valdez as a free agent or someone like Freddy Peralta on the trade market for Atlanta lately, so […]

Former Atlanta Braves infielder Vidal Bruján was claimed off waivers today by the Minnesota Twins. He had been designated for assignment by the Braves on January 8, 2026. Atlanta claimed Bruján, 27, off waivers from the Baltimore Orioles on August 8, 2025, just days after he’d been claimed off waivers from the Chicago Cubs. He […]

We’re only a few players deep into this series and… hey, wait a minute! Bryce Elder? Bryce Elder?! We did Matt Olson, Michael Harris II, and Ozzie Albies, but… Bryce Elder? Two of those other three guys struggled, but you can be pretty certain they’ll be hoovering up PAs for the Braves provided they’re healthy. […]
