A few weeks ago, the Braves picked up former top prospect Justus Sheffield after he was released by the Seattle Mariners. However, he hadn’t appeared on any of the minor-league rosters… until yesterday, when he was added to the Gwinnett Stripers. Sheffield was a former first-round pick that built up a lot of value and
Bradford Doolittle of ESPN recently went through all 30 teams discussing how aggressive each one will be heading into the trade deadline. He broke the clubs up into five tiers, with one being the most aggressive and five being the least. Unsurprisingly, the Braves landed in tier one. Why they will add: The foundation of
Before the game on Friday night, Brian Snitker provided insight on two of the Braves injured pitchers–Max Fried and Dylan Lee. Not much has changed. Neither of them have started to throw off the mound yet, but he did say something I found interesting in that he believes Max Fried will be ready to go before
I’m not sure the Braves have had a better week of baseball since they won the World Series back in 2021. It all started last Sunday, when Eddie Rosario hit a go-ahead grand slam in the ninth inning to lead the Braves to a victory over the Diamondbacks. The Braves then followed it up with
It is time we start shifting the narrative surrounding Orlando Arcia. He may not have been expected by most to win the starting shortstop job out of Spring Training, but he has taken it and run with it over the first two-plus months of the season. Defensively, the Braves knew what they were getting in Arcia.
It’s June 9th, so counting any baseball team out is a little premature, especially one as talented as the Mets. But if there was ever a series that broke a team’s soul before the All-Star break, we just witnessed it over the last three days. Coming into Tuesday, the Mets sat 5.5 games back in
Following a career-year, the 2023 campaign didn’t start out the way A.J. Minter, or the Braves, envisioned. Despite being one of the most used relievers in all of baseball, the hard-throwing lefty was sporting an unsightly 8.05 ERA following a May 13th outing against the Blue Jays, giving up 17 earned runs over 19 innings.
Sometimes, baseball players aren’t given their due respect as athletes. But in reality, several of these players could have played high level college ball, if not professional, in other arenas. Prior to the Braves most recent home stand, Austin Riley hosted a charity golf tournament, which brought some interesting conversations regarding who the best golfer
Today, the Braves announced that Michael Tonkin has been activated off the IL. In a corresponding move, Roddery Muñoz has been optioned back to AAA Gwinnett. After not pitching in the majors for over five seasons, Tonkin has established himself as a critical piece of the bullpen for the Braves in 2023. He’s able to
It’s only June, but the Braves and Mets rivalry feels extra spicy already this season. That tends to happen when one team blows a 10.5-game lead in the division to the other. Unfortunately for the Mets, the Braves have picked up right where they left off last season. They sit 7.5 games ahead of New
