The Atlanta Braves are the best team in baseball. They feature plenty of talent on their roster and appear poised to make another deep playoff run.

The New York Mets moved on from future Hall of Famer Max Scherzer on Saturday, trading him to the Texas Rangers.

Nicky Lopez has played in 67 games for the Royals this season, and is batting .210 with a .322 on-base percentage, according to Fangraphs. Lopez is in his fifth year in the […]

It’s hard to believe, but the Atlanta Braves are actually walking wounded this season. While they’ve largely been dominant this season, their pitching staff has been decimated by injuries. The most notable name on their injury list is ace Max Fried, who’s been out for quite some time now. After a lengthy rehab session (and […]

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. is amazing, which is the least you can say about him, considering the astounding job he’s been doing night in and night out on the field in the 2023 MLB regular season, thus far. Acuna left baseball fans enthralled once again during Saturday’s game between the Braves and the […]

For former MLB pitcher Dontrelle Willis, the Atlanta Braves should go after San Diego Padres closer Josh Hader. Willis, who pitched in the big leagues for nine years and was a former two-time All-Star, the Braves will look even more lethal with Hader on the roster. Let's play Deadline Dealin' 🎲@The_ChrisMyers gives @DTrainMLB potential trade […]

It is time for us to check out our MLB odds series as we make our Braves-Brewers prediction and pick. Currently […]

The Atltana Braves are building something special up in Georgia. Over the last few years, GM Alex Anthopoulos has earned every bit of trust from the fans with his savvy roster building moves. In fact, his moves at the 2021 deadline helped secure the Braves’ World Series win. With the 2023 trade deadline looming (and […]

It looks like Atlanta Braves pitcher AJ Minter is really close to returning from his left shoulder injury. Minter last played for the Braves on July 8 against the Tampa Bay Rays. However, a shoulder inflammation pushed Minter on the 15-day injured list. While he is now eligible to play, he has yet to suit […]

It is a cliche, but the Atlanta Braves (64-36) might not be compelled to make a huge move ahead of the trade deadline because a healthy Max Fried is a high-end addition in its own right. But that might have to be put on hold just a bit longer. The lefty, who remains on the […]

We are in Atlanta, sharing our MLB odds series, making a Brewers-Braves prediction and pick while showing you how to watch. It is a potential playoff preview as the Brewers will face the Braves. Therefore, we will see great baseball […]

MLB relievers do not get as much stability as they would like to. They barely see playing time or even get to pitch in some innings when the stars are around. A common experience would also be that they get outrighted and waived. This is exactly what happened to Rowan Wick and the Chicago Cubs. […]

The Atlanta Braves still have the best record in MLB, though the team isn’t playing its best baseball at the moment.

While the Atlanta Braves still hold a 10 game lead in the AL East, the team has been on a losing skid recently. Manager Brian Snitker has watched the losses pile up, but doesn’t want the Braves to panic just yet. Atlanta has gone just 4-7 in their last 11 games. Snitker understands the rigors […]

Atlanta Braves pitcher Spencer Strider continues to be a strikeout machine on the mound in the 2023 MLB regular season. The 23-year-old punchout artist added 10 more strikeouts to his total this season with another sterling performance in his final start of July. With that, he’s joined an extremely exclusive group of 25-year-old hurlers who […]

The 2023 Atlanta Braves have been one of the best teams in baseball this season. In fact, they still have the league’s best record at 64-35. Yet, since the All-Star break, they are 4-6, winning only one out of their three series played. It’s a long season, with a little over two months to go, […]

The Atlanta Braves have been in cruise control for much of the 2023 MLB season, but they weren’t at their best on Tuesday night in their 7-1 loss against the Boston Red Sox. Not much was going right for the Braves in this one (although they did manage to pull off a historic triple play), […]

The Atlanta Braves have been the best team in the MLB for the past few months, and they are in firm control of the top playoff seed in the National League ahead of the 2023 MLB trade deadline. Things didn’t go too well for the Braves, though, in their 7-1 loss to the Boston Red […]

Sal Frelick was called up a few days ago and had his highly-anticipated debut for the Milwaukee Brewers, and he has not disappointed.

Could Adam Duvall become a member of the Atlanta Braves for the third time in his career? With the MLB trade deadline just one week away, Atlanta could make a move on the veteran outfielder. The Braves have expressed interest in retaining Duvall’s services, per MassLive.com’s Sean McAdam. If a potential deal falls through, Duvall […]

As the trade deadline rapidly approaches, it appears the Atlanta Braves simply cannot quit its love affair with former All-Star slugger and current Boston Red Sox outfielder, Adam Duvall. Already dealt to the Braves twice in his 10-year career, a third transaction could be on the horizon according to Sean McAdam of MassLive.com. A deal […]

We’re entering one of the most fascinating times in MLB trade deadline history. And it’s all because of one player. That player, of course, is Shohei Ohtani, the Los Angeles Angels pitching and hitting phenomenon. What’s been said about Ohtani to this point is nothing new, as everything has just become repetitive, copy and pasted […]

The Atlanta Braves have made a couple of moves just several days before the August 1 MLB trade deadline. After trading for right-hander Pierce Johnson from the Colorado Rockies via a trade that sent pitching prospects Victor Vodnik and Tanner Gordon to the National League West club, the Braves struck a trade with the Texas […]

Complacency is a contender’s worst enemy. The Atlanta Braves might be leading the National League right now by a wide margin, but that doesn’t mean they get to sit on their laurels. Their bullpen is usually solid despite the many injuries, but you never know when you might need to adjust due to an injury. […]

The Atlanta Braves are adding reinforcements to their stacked roster, calling up Daysbel Hernandez to make his MLB debut for their depleted bullpen. Hernandez has been in the minors since 2018, and after missing the 2022 season due to injury, he is sporting an incredible 44% strikeout rate in 16 scoreless innings between Double-A and […]

It would be hard to ask for a better debut for Milwaukee Brewers top prospect Sal Frelick. Frelick made his highly-anticipated debut in the MLB on Saturday night against the best team in baseball, the Atlanta Braves. The 6th inning was when Frelick stole the show. Sal Frelick went for the leaping catch at the […]

The Atlanta Braves are tallying up the home runs in the second half of the season, especially behind Austin Riley’s four game streak with a home run.
