Atlanta Braves: Breaking News, Rumors & Highlights

Is this the most disappointing Braves team in franchise history?

The Braves are shockingly bad, almost incomprehensibly bad. Following a fourth straight loss on Sunday in which the offense scored just one run, Atlanta is now 11 games under .500, their worst mark since 2017 when the team went on to win just 72 games.

Will Braves reconsider trading players under contract past 2025?

The Atlanta Braves are one of the worst teams in baseball. The offense continues to plummet toward the bottom of the league. They have more starting pitchers on the IL than healthy, and while the bullpen has stabilized somewhat over the last month, it’s nowhere near good enough to compensate for the glaring issues across a deeply flawed roster.
