MLB.com's Mark Bowman previewed the winter meetings for the Braves. The Mariners acquired a good controllable reliever from the Nationals for some real prospect capital. The Cubs are serious contenders for Zac Gallen, even as some of the reporting from earlier in the day got a little carried away on the starter. The Marlins are reportedly open to trading all of their starting rotation outside of the 22 year old Eury Perez. The Braves roster still needs improvements.

9+ hour, 16+ min ago (520+ words) The citizens of Atlanta have been rewarded for their patience with the Hawks franchise after witnessing the arrival of Jalen Johnson this season. He had always shown potential, but his rise this year is undeniable. At 23 years old, he finds himself four triple-doubles away from having the all-time record in Hawks history. His performances have attracted attention from the mainstream media, and he's averaging 22.9 points, 9.8 rebounds, and 7.3 assists over 19 games. Now, the Hawks (13-8) are comfortably above .500 for the first time in four seasons. Considering that Trae Young has missed 16 games and they're beating top teams, it's a positive sign for this new roster. Johnson's defensive gravity and his ability to make his teammates better is driving the Hawks' success. He's taken the reins as the star of the team in Young's absence, and now he's being hailed as an All-Star…...

10+ hour, 16+ min ago (442+ words) Throughout this season, it's become abundantly clear that the Atlanta Falcons need to move on from Raheem Morris and Terry Fontenot. A 4-8 season in Atlanta has both men on the hot seat, as even a successful rookie class and a talented roster isn't enough to rewrite a narrative that's only growing. However, Arthur Blank has a reputation for being patient with his leadership, but this group might force his hand. The 83-year-old owner hasn't seen the Dirty Birds make the playoffs since 2017, and that streak is likely to continue with another season without a postseason appearance looming. Since Fontenot took over in 2021, the team hasn't enjoyed any success. The entire post-Matt Ryan era has been a disaster for the Falcons, as even a talented roster hasn't been enough to break the playoff drought. And unfortunately, a change in leadership should…...
