I’m not going to harp on the obvious; with Mike Soroka on the shelf, this rotation is abysmal outside of Max Fried. Yesterday, I polled the fan base on our Twitter account to see who they would like to see the Braves go after before the trade deadline, which is just over two weeks away.
With the Cowboys snatching Everson Griffen for a paltry $6 million yesterday, Atlanta missed an opportunity to plug a hole on the D-Line. They recently were able to sign Darqueze Dennard to a one-year deal for just $910,000 — an incredible value for a player that projects to start at cornerback — leaving them with
With Ronald Acuña out this weekend, Ozzie Albies and Matt Adams stuck on the IL, and Ender Inciarte slumping, there has never been a better time to give Yasiel Puig another call. If you need a refresher, Puig came to terms with the Braves before his contract was voided due to a positive COVID-19 test. Report: Braves sign
Atlanta made a flurry of roster moves today, but their plans for tomorrow’s start are still uncertain. The #Braves today placed RHP Chris Martin on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to August 6, with an esophageal constriction and recalled RHP Chad Sobotka to Atlanta. The club also claimed LHP Robbie Erlin off waivers from

The Braves already made their first shocking move of this 60-game season by designating Mike Foltynewicz for assignment after his first start last night. The guy who started in a winner-take-all Game 5 for the team just last year likely has thrown his final pitch in a Braves uniform after seeing another severe dip in his
There’s been a lot of chatter around baseball regarding Daniel Bard, and rightfully so. The now 35-year-old was out of baseball for seven years, was invited to camp by Colorado, eventually made the team, and picked up his first win this weekend in relief — a tremendous story, but he’s not the only player attempting
In the absence of Travis d’Arnaud & Tyler Flowers, Alex Jackson continues to prove he’s nothing more than a AAAA player right now — someone who thrives in AAA but can’t hit water in the ocean at the major-league level. He’s currently a career 0-17 hitter with 9 Ks in the bigs. I haven’t given
In some terrific news this afternoon, Freddie Freeman and Touki Toussaint have overcome COVID-19 and are medically cleared to come back to baseball.

To the surprise of nobody, Mike Soroka will toe the rubber for the Braves on July 24th against the Mets. Mike Soroka will be the Braves’ opening day starter, Brian Snitker announced. — Gabe Burns (@GabeBurnsAJC) July 14, 2020 At 22, Soroka will be the youngest Opening Day starter for a franchise with a rich
