Kyle Farmer added to Braves Non-Roster Invitee list for spring training
Earlier this week, we got the much-anticipated Non-Roster Invitee list from the Braves for this season’s spring training camp. That list initially consisted of 24 names. Now, there are 25 names on that list after the Braves made an addition to it here on Friday afternoon. Mark Bowman of MLB.com is reporting that the Braves […]

2026 Battery Power Braves Preseason Top 30 Prospects: 6-1
And just like that….we find ourselves at the end. After a rather fun week where we got to profile a lot of new intriguing players in the organization, we turn our focus to the top of the list. Players that come with the shine of being high round draft picks, big bonus international prospects, and […]
Who ya got in the WBC?
Of all the things I wish were better than they are, the World Baseball Classic is definitely one of them. The ongoing insurance-as-a-bar-to-participation debacle only underscores that missed potential. The roster reveals from yesterday, are, well… you get the idea, I think. Anyway, a short one since it’s Friday: who ya got? Japan has won […]
Atlanta Braves could look to pair new network with Atlanta Hawks, per report
Tom Friend of Sports Business Journal has reported a new possible twist in the on-going saga of Main Street Sports Group, as it related to the Atlanta Braves. In the article from SBJ, it notes that two MLB teams – the Braves and the Los Angeles Angels – have opted not to join the other […]

The World Baseball Classic is starting up next month, and the Atlanta Braves will be well-represented. Ronald Acuña Jr., Ozzie Albies, Jurickson Profar, and Chadwick Tromp are participating. While Acuña Jr. will be suiting up for Venezuela, the remaining three Braves are on the Netherlands’ roster and will be led by Andruw Jones. Team USA […]
Four Braves players will participate in 2026 World Baseball Classic
The rosters for the 2026 edition of the World Baseball Classic have been revealed and as it turns out, Ronald Acuña Jr. won’t be the only Atlanta Braves representative at the WBC. In fact, Acuña won’t have to wait too long to see a few of his teammates turn into opponents during Pool D action […]
FanGraphs has lofty expectations for 2026 Braves
Quiet as kept, FanGraphs has released their updated MLB Playoff Odds for the upcoming 2026 season. As of right now with the offseason beginning to transition into the ever-optimistic days of spring training, FanGraphs’ projection model feels like the Atlanta Braves should have very good reason to feel optimistic heading into the regular season. While […]
2026 Battery Power Braves Preseason Top 30 Prospects: 12-7
We are now entering the stretch where pretty much every player on the list has legitimate MLB potential because of their skill set. With the exclusion of Luke Sinnard who, one author had a bit higher on their list, there was unanimous agreement on who the top 12 prospects in the organization are. Youth, and […]
What will be the 2026 Braves’ Achilles’ heel?
I don’t mean, Michael Soroka’s Achilles’ heel. Just, you know, in general. The set of questions we received for February included, “What weakness will doom the team if nothing changes?” — but I twisted it around a bit. I have an answer to the former, and it’s also the answer to this question, but “doom […]
Braves News: Top prospects, Spring Training invites, more
It was a good day for people interested in prospects, as our prospect team continues to roll out their best-in-industry Braves top 30 prospects list and we got Atlanta’s list of non-roster Spring Training invites. I will say that I was a bit disappointed at the absence of Cam Caminiti on the non-roster invites list, […]
Offseason open thread: February 4
Good evening, y’all. Here’s a random clip for you:
2026 Battery Power Braves Preseason Top 30 Prospects: 18-13
As if the last part of our list wasn’t fun enough, we begin to see a major influx of tools as we enter our top 18 prospects. After adding the likes of Isaiah and Guanipa back in 2023, the Braves made serious changes to what kind of players they were looking to add which is […]
Braves top prospects and hopeful veterans make up 2026 Non-Roster Invitee list
With spring training on the somewhat immediate horizon, there’s been a bit of anticipation surrounding the annual list of non-roster invitees to camp. The Atlanta Braves have now revealed that list and as expected, there’s a decent mix of top prospects looking to make a splash and veteran longshots looking to latch onto a roster […]
What will be the main storyline of Braves Spring Training 2026?
Well, Truck Day has come and gone. Spring Training action, though, is still some weeks away. That gives us ample time to speculate: with an unsettled 2025 season, there’s all sorts of opportunity for the narrative to take hold while the games don’t matter. My memory goes back to “Shuise Control” and the time Jared […]
Braves News: MLB Network’s Top 10 Right Now, Live Q&A, and more
Tuesday made for a slow day on the news front for the Atlanta Braves. Though the offseason feels like it has dragged on, we are now officially less than a week away from pitchers and catchers reporting to camp. The Braves have yet to announce their non-roster invites, but until then, we’ve got a couple […]

2026 Battery Power Braves Preseason Top 30 Prospects: 19-24
We are starting to hit the stretch of the campaign as we enter the top 20. With a couple of the safer picks rounding out the top 30, we have begun to enter the part of the list that caters to some high upside prospects. Compared to recent years there is a lot more upside, […]
2026 Battery Power Braves Preseason Top 30 Prospects: 25-30
🎶It’s the most wonderful time of the year.🎶 The drolls of the everlasting January are finally over and we enter the month of February with hope in the air as players begin to collect in Florida as Spring Training is right around the corner. Yesterday we saw who just missed out on top 30 list […]
How excited are you about a Braves-specific network?
Quickly piggybacking on yesterday’s news, the question is simple. What’s your excitement level? In theory, it doesn’t have to be very different. MLB.tv is still MLB.tv for out-of-market folks like me, though this may offer you a cheaper monthly option than A) buying all teams through MLB.tv or B) whatever FanDuel direct-to-consumer option previously existed, […]
Braves News: Future of Braves TV, Battery Power Top 30 Propsects, More

Busy day, huh? The week’s off to an exciting start so far, what with the news about the future of the Braves on TV/streaming, the Braves having their annual Truck Day and our minor league crew getting their preseason prospect rankings underway. Which one was the most exciting part for you so far? The floor […]
Braves expected to launch their own TV network, per report
Earlier on Monday, we got word that the Atlanta Braves were one of three teams (alongside the Detroit Tigers and Los Angeles Angels) that didn’t decide to follow the Brewers, Cardinals, Rays, Reds and Royals to MLB Media as far as their televised games are concerned. Well, now we know why the Braves didn’t join […]
Atlanta Braves begin to move operations to Florida with 2026 Truck Day
It’s officially February now, which means that we don’t have too much longer to wait until we start hearing the crack of the bat and baseballs hitting mitts under the Florida sun. Before that can happen and before even pitchers and catchers can report, all of the equipment needs to get down to the spring […]
