There are some very intriguing trade matches for the Braves in the American League. Unfortunately, that league is as watered down as it’s ever been, and with the expanded playoffs, pretty much everyone feels like they not only have a chance to make the postseason but a real shot at working their way to the World Series.
Somehow, the 2026 All-Star break is here. What a first half for the Atlanta Braves. We’ve run the emotional gamut in this 55-40 record – delirious joy, abysmal lows, and all the in-between.
The MLB season is officially halfway done, with the All-Star break having arrived. Down in the system, the Atlanta Braves' top prospects continue to develop into promising pieces of the future.
It’s not the All-Star break for everybody, as two injured Braves — Ronald Acuña Jr. and Ha-Seong Kim — began their rehab assignments on Monday in the Florida Complex League.
The MLB Draft doesn’t get the same attention as the NFL Draft…or the NBA Draft…or even the NHL Draft. There’s the element of a stay in a farm system, the general lack of immediate impact for MLB draft picks, and the fact that it’s tougher for one MLB player to turn a franchise’s fortunes around.
Six weeks ago, it was a lot easier for the Braves to feel confident about their rotation — even if they were still searching for answers on who exactly the #2 and #3 behind Chris Sale would be.
Even Atlanta Braves star pitcher Chris Sale is confused about Zack Wheeler’s MLB All-Star situation. Wheeler is having a strong 2026 season, but was somehow snubbed from a spot in the Midsummer Classic. While he was later given an invite to the All-Star Game, he turned it down, saying that he felt disrespected for being initially overlooked.
With the All-Star Break here, much of the baseball world has a bit of time away from the diamond. However, there are still some games going on in the minors.
The 2026 MLB Draft is in the rearview mirror, and the Atlanta Braves have 20 players selected and could potentially add to their system. None of signed yet, which means any could opt to go to school.
The 2026 MLB Draft is in the books and the Atlanta Braves have 21 new prospects to add into the organization. This is going to cover who the Braves drafted and where, guesses on if they are over/under slot value, and some general thoughts on each pick.
Even the most successful regular-season teams in Major League Baseball have failed to win it all. Here's our list of 20 such clubs that fall into that category.
After missing out on the playoffs last year, the Braves looked very much like a postseason-bound team for most of 2026. The Braves’ offense, despite some flaws, was one of the best in the Majors over the first half.
The Atlanta Braves have been hit extremely hard by injuries this season. But they’ve been able to keep Matt Olson in the lineup. And as they head into the All-Star break in first place in the NL East, here is one trade the Braves must not make at the 2026 MLB deadline.
With their 11th round pick in the 2026 MLB Draft the Atlanta Braves have selected Arizona prep infielder Ryne Barker. Barker is an older for the prep class prep infielder with a very interesting mix of tools who probably would have ranked higher if not for both age and a more limited track record in showcase events.
With their 7th round pick in the 2026 MLB Draft the Atlanta Braves have selected Wisconsin prep catcher Jack Brenner. Brenner is a sleeper catcher with a promising bat for the position and a chance to develop further as a cold weather prep.
It’s not often a club enters the All-Star break leading its division while the entire discussion centers on whether it can turn things around in the second half.
On Monday morning, the Braves announced that Ronald Acuña Jr. and Ha-Seong Kim will begin their rehab assignments with the FCL Braves. Acuña is obviously the big one here.
The Atlanta Braves outfield has not been close to full strength all season long. It began before the season even started when Jurickson Profar received a 162-game suspension for PEDs.
Virginia outfielder AJ Gracia was selected in the 2026 MLB Draft by the Atlanta Braves with the No. 9 overall pick. Gracia was considered a first-round talent coming into the selection process.
For Atlanta Braves first baseman Matt Olson, the challenge of playing 162 games in a season is rewarding, and it's safe to assume Olson felt rewarded Friday night when he made franchise history.
Atlanta Bravesthird basemanAustin Riley has not figured it out in 2026. After back-to-back injury-riddled seasons, Riley's main goal entering this year was to stay healthy and productive.
The All-Star break is quickly approaching, and even during a down June, the Atlanta Braves sport the fourth-best record in baseball at 54-38. Despite the current narrative surrounding the team, they maintain a three-game lead in their division and are squarely in the playoff picture.
The Braves have re-signed Carlos Carrasco to a new minor league deal, according to his transactions tracker at MLB.com. The transaction logs also indicated that catcher Jair Camargo has been outrighted to Triple-A Gwinnett.
The Atlanta Braves are in pursuit of a three-time All-Star at the trade deadline to bolster their playoff hopes. The Braves have expressed interest in Boston Red Sox pitcher Sonny Gray, according to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic.
The Braves announced Tuesday that they’ve selected the contract of lefty Connor Thomas from Triple-A Gwinnett. (Jesus Cano of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Thomas’ promotion shortly before the formal announcement.) Righty Owen Murphy was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett to open an active roster spot.
