Acquired in an out-of-nowhere deal ahead of the 2023 season when the Braves were seemingly set at catcher, Murphy’s signature style of swing-out-of-his-shoes slugging and stellar saves defensively […]

I had a thought process. Early this morning, I was reading about the Nationals’ trifecta of relative youngsters: Paul Toboni, their new head of baseball ops, is 35. Newly-hired manager Blake Butera is 33. And now, Toboni has added Ani Kilambi to do the day-to-day stuff as GM, and Kilambi is 31. You add any […]

Ha-Seong Kim is with the Atlanta Braves for at least the 2026 season and hoo boy, this is a signing that they really needed.

A few months ago, my younger kid (accidentally?) dropped a lamp on my big toe. It was pretty awful in the moment because no one else was around, so it was pretty much like, “Yeah, you still gotta keep this mischievous rascal from dying for hours even though your toe looks like a chocolate-dipped strawberry […]

Well, the Braves plugged their starting shortstop hole with Ha-Seong Kim. Are they spent out, other than minor reliever-type moves? I asked about another sizable reliever deal earlier, but the offseason isn’t quite over, so really, we’re just talking about the title at this point: is it going to be relatively quiet from now until […]

The Braves didn’t make many notable changes to their roster between 2024 and 2025 — what they changed was largely under the hood, so to speak, with some pretty awful results.
