And just like that, Atlanta has their cleanup hitter. The Braves and Marcell Ozuna reached an agreement on a 1 year, $18M deal for the 2020 season. Jeff Passan broke the news moments ago. The deal is a tad shocking, as multiple reports have said that Ozuna preferred a multi-year deal. This just reflects positively
It’s a cold one today in central Arkansas. I’m a Marietta native turned Arkansas, going on about seven years now in the Natural State. Already being from another southern state, I thought I was well prepared for the cold winters of a state known to locals as the “buckle of the Bible Belt.” The cold
This offseason keeps getting better. The Braves made another splash on Wednesday afternoon, adding a veteran lefty to their rotation in Cole Hamels – first reported by Jeff Passan. I don’t know about y’all, but I love the speed of this offseason far more than last year’s. Don’t get me wrong; Donaldson was everything I could
Yesterday was an unexpectedly eventful day. The deadline for players to accept or reject qualifying offers was yesterday at 5:00 PM, and 15 minutes before the bell rang, Alex Anthopoulos made a significant, albeit shocking, bullpen addition. The acquisition of the finesse arm out of San Fran bulks up an already strengthened bullpen. Smith, Melancon,
This is it, Braves fans. It’s do, or die time. The road paved by young superstars and years of rebuilding ends today or splits off west to Los Angeles. The back-to-back Braves proved everybody wrong winning the East. Now, it’s time to kick that M*****F****** door down. It’s now or never; win or go home.
Game over. Kolten Wong swings and misses on a ball in the dirt, and just like that, we’re tied. Riding the momentum of last night’s tragic loss, the Braves blanked St. Louis on the heels of the Mike Foltynewicz we know and love. Foltynewicz, who began the season on the IL and struggled wildly upon
It’s time, ladies and gentlemen. All of our fighting, heartbreak, injuries, and determination paid off in the form of 97 wins. The Braves got the crown back in 2019 despite every analyst counting them out before the season began, which only fueled a team loaded with youthful stars. Now here we are. A few mere
I don’t know about you, but this one feels a bit sweeter than last year’s. Let’s flashback to early March. Spring training has ended, opening day is a few short days away, and the Braves are about to start their campaign. As often happens, all the experts, major publications, and fans cast their predictions for
It’s been a strange season. Or at least a funny last couple of weeks. Chris Sale has an ERA of 4.40 on the year. Reds phenom Aristedes Aquino has 15 homers in his first 32 games. The Twins are leading the league in home runs while the Red Sox sit nine games away from elimination,
I don’t know about you, but I had a good weekend. I spent some time with my dog, knocked out some wedding planning, and, probably most excitingly (don’t tell my fiancée), saw the Braves take down the Big Bad Dodgers. The Braves won a critical series against Los Angeles this weekend, potentially giving us a
