There are two things that have become guarantees when it comes to free agency and Alex Anthopoulos. He’s going to act quickly, and he’s not afraid to spend big money on the bullpen.
Generally, how do we feel about Scott Boras’ player puns? I think they’re unfortunately corny. Anyways. Hot stove, Braves edition. ICYMI, we signed Tyler Freeman to a minor-league deal but the big blue box of the day goes to reliever Evan Phillips.
The Atlanta Braves strengthened their bullpen Thursday by signing Evan Phillips, but their next move should address the innings that come before him. Re-signing Tyler Mahle offers the most practical way to reinforce an Atlanta rotation that still needs established help.
Another MLB season is in the books. The pending lockout is hanging over the heads of players and ownership, but there could be a mad rush of moves prior to December.
The Atlanta Braves are currently in the early stages of the MLB free agency period, looking to add to their team after an NLDS loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers this past fall.
The Braves have made their first significant splash of the offseason, announcing Thursday that they’ve signed right-hander Evan Phillips to a three-year, $35MM contract.
The Atlanta Braves have reached a minor-league agreement with 27-year-old utility player Tyler Freeman and extended him a non-roster invitation to spring training.
The Atlanta Braves have added another depth piece. According to MLB.com’s Thomas Harding, they have signed utility man Tyler Freeman to a minor-league deal.
Andrew McCutchen will take part in Thursday night’s MLB MVP broadcast, adding a former winner to the presentation of baseball’s top individual honors. MLB Network’s show begins at 7 p.m.
The 2026 MLB season was driven by top performances from young players, and the crop of young talent in the minors has never been greater. These 25 prospects could emerge as top MLB players in 2027.
Ever since the Atlanta Braves drafted him in the fourth round of the 2024 Draft, Herick Hernandez has advanced quickly through the minors. In just two full professional seasons, Hernandez finds himself with Triple-A Gwinnett.
Atlanta got back on track last year, as the Braves won the NL East and looked more like the team we’ve been accustomed to seeing over the last decade. Still, there are holes to fill out for 2027, including who will play shortstop next season.
I have not been shy about where I stand on the Jurickson Profar situation. He screwed the organization over not once but twice, cheated the sport, and robbed the Braves of $40 million.
Lane Thomas seemed destined to be a Brave in 2026: he was playing for a non-contender on a reasonable, expiring contract, and offered a specific, not-too-complicated skillset that the team could use on a matchup-by-matchup basis (or not).
With the MLB offseason underway, teams are looking to not only sign players but make trades that can put them over the top. The Texas Rangers have reportedly been listening to offers for Corey Seager, Nathan Eovaldi and Jacob deGrom.
The Braves have had a couple of glaring holes in the lineup for around a half-decade, none more damaging than shortstop. Mauricio Dubon was serviceable at the position in 2025, but he’s a free agent and is undoubtedly better served as a super-utility piece than a full-time starter at shortstop.
Chris Martin has announced his retirement after 11 MLB seasons, which marks the close of a long, improbable climb that reached its highest point in a Atlanta Braves uniform.
Dec. 2, the beginning of the looming lockout, is quickly approaching. We’re already nearly halfway through November, and the General Managers Meetings are in the rearview mirror. At some point, the Atlanta Braves are bound to make a move, right?
Left field is among the Braves’ most glaring holes on the roster and has been for the last 4-5 years. Unfortunately, similar to the situation at shortstop, there isn’t a very robust list of options.
Chris Sale finished third in the NL Cy Young voting, but could have plausibly finished first, given more innings (assuming the same production level). Sale continues his incredibly stretch in a Braves’ uniform as a late career renaissance driven primarily by good health, in contrast to his last number of years in Boston.
The Atlanta Braves went on to already pick up Ronald Acuna Jr.’s option for 2027, and while his name has already been brought up in trade discussions again, Alex Anthopoulos has made it clear where the team stands with him.
The Atlanta Braves are projected to pursue a short-term deal with free-agent right-hander Sonny Gray this offseason after their rotation depth proved insufficient in a National League Division Series loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
A 94-68 season and the NL East crown still resulted in a rapid NLDS elimination against the Los Angeles Dodgers for Walt Weiss, manager of the Atlanta Braves.
Atlanta Braves superstar outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. has a reputation of being incredibly injury-prone. He has played in just two full seasons since his MLB debut all the way back in 2018.
