3+ hour, 10+ min ago (621+ words) The Atlanta Braves have already made multiple reunions in the 2025-2026 MLB offseason, as the club re-signed closer Raisel Iglesias and reliever Joel Payamps on MLB deals, and reunited with catcher Chadwick Tromp on a MiLB contract after his stints in two AL East organizations. However, with the club still having holes to fill in the bullpen, as well as needing to build depth for the rotation, there are still more potential reunions in sight for the Braves. We found four former Braves looking for new teams this offseason who could be possible fits to return to Atlanta. When Kyle Wright was dealt to the Kansas City Royals after the 2023 season, it was seen as a surprise. Even though he had a disappointing 2023 and was expected to miss the 2024 season with a shoulder injury, he was a year removed from a…...

17+ hour, 27+ min ago (485+ words) Anthony Castrovince discussed a blockbuster trade that would bring Freddy Peralta to Atlanta. Unfortunately, the cost would be some of the Braves top prospects. Every so often Atlanta Braves fans are subject to some ridiculous trade proposals. While the notion of trading for Chris Sale wasn't on many fans radars back in 2023, the trade itself made sense. However, in a recent article from mlb.com writer, Anthony Castrovince, a ton of trades that do not really make sense were thrown out, and the Braves fell victim in one of the deals. It is clear the offseason presents too much down time for some, and as a result a trade idea where Atlanta sends out way too many of their best prospects is born. If a massive prospect cost was in play, the Braves would surely get a controllable star back…...

20+ hour, 12+ min ago (103+ words) The Braves didn't have the biggest offseason prior to the 2025 season, but a few moves proved to be missteps and are still affecting Atlanta as 2026 approaches. Many of the Atlanta Braves" struggles in 2025 stem from in-season misfortune, especially injuries. That said, a few choices made in the lead-up to last season had negative ramifications that are still impacting the team today. Here are three moves from last offseason that, with hindsight, are holding back the Braves as 2026 draws near. 1. Choosing Profar over Laureano 2. Hiring Tim Hyers as hitting coach 3. Betting on back-loaded contracts...

1+ day, 3+ hour ago (533+ words) There are a few players rumored to be tied to the Atlanta Braves this offseason. Some of them would be great additions, but a few of them could be absolute disasters. Here are 3 Braves rumors that would be disasters and 3 who would be massive wins Bichette will likely have a big payday this offseason, but he won't be a Brave next season. While the team needs a shortstop and Bichette is great at the plate, his lackluster defense is enough reason not to bring him aboard. Fangraphs has him projected to earn a seven-year contract with a $29 million AAV. While his bat would be nice in the lineup, the price may not be worth it at the end of the day. Bassitt pitched fairly well for Toronto in 2025 with a 3.96 ERA over 170.1 innings with 52 walks and 166 strikeouts. He was able…...

1+ day, 18+ hour ago (232+ words) The latest update on Vaughn Grissom should have Atlanta Braves fans feeling even better about the Chris Sale trade. Every passing day, Atlanta Braves fans feel better and better about the trade that brought Chris Sale to Atlanta. Meanwhile, Red Sox fans have been unhappy with Vaughn Grissom from the moment he got there. Alex Anthopoulos has to feel good about how this trade turned out, and with every update we get this trade only gets more lopsided. In a recent report from Red Sox reporter Christopher Smith, the expectation in Boston is that it is doubtful Grissom will be on the 40-man roster come spring training, because he is out of minor league options. That is a rather steep drop off for the once promising prospect in the Braves' organization. The veteran lefty Sale has been the ace of…...

1+ day, 20+ hour ago (348+ words) The "what if" trade no Atlanta Braves fan can seem to forget is far more than some guy with a large contract or a prospect that didn't pan out. It's worse than that; it's a homegrown kid, drafted and developed, who ultimately went on to become a legend somewhere else." Back in December 2003, the Braves bundled Adam Wainwright with Jason Marquis and reliever Ray King and sent them to St. Louis, bringing J.D. Drew and Eli Marrero the other way. On paper, it made plenty of sense at the time: Atlanta wanted another thumper in the middle of the order for a serious World Series push, and when Drew was actually on the field, he looked like exactly that guy. To be fair, Drew was a beast during his short time in Atlanta. In 2004, he had one of the best years…...

1+ day, 20+ hour ago (204+ words) Dylan Cease signing takes one of the best pitchers off the market, because of that the Atlanta Braves need to pivot to Ranger Suarez before it's too late. Dylan Cease may have jumpstarted the free agent market on Wednesday afternoon when he inked his seven-year, $210 million deal with Toronto. That means one of the best pitchers on the free agent market has alread signed not with Atlanta, and if the Braves intend to pivot they need to get the ball rolling. Alex Anthopoulos has stated he wants to add to the rotation this winter, and true upgrades at starting pitcher are not lacking with this crop of free agents. Cease may have been the big ticket pitcher on the market, but plenty of viable options remain for Atlanta to bring in. If the Braves want to aim high for a…...

1+ day, 22+ hour ago (215+ words) The Atlanta Braves certainly need some starting pitching help, but Dylan Cease being a "Black Friday deal" for them is quite the stretch. Looking at The Athletic's Andy McCullough's Black Friday deals for every MLB team, a wide range of players were projected from the absolute top of the market free agents to what we will called the "Chas McCormick" tier of free agents. For the Braves, McCullough had them adding Dylan Cease and that move would have some concerns that would come with it. McCullough is 100% right that Cease would likely providing something Atlanta could definitely use: bulk innings and plenty of them. He noted that Cease still has quality raw stuff and has made at least 32 starts every season since 2021. He is also correct that the Braves could (probably) afford to pay Cease on a long-term deal. Look,…...

2+ day, 12+ hour ago (645+ words) The Atlanta Braves have had a long history of strong draft picks. Dale Murphy, Bob Horner, Chipper Jones, and Jason Heyward all landed on the club through the draft. However, not every selection has been a hit. Here are the 10 worst draft picks in Braves history. 1. Tim Cole, #4 overall pick, 1977 On the bright side, if the Braves were looking for left-handed pitching, there wasn't much available outside of Tim Cole. However, Cole never made it to the Majors while Hall of Famers Ozzie Smith and Tim Raines were left on the board until the fourth and fifth round, respectively. All this while the big league club limped to 101-loss season. 2. Carter Stewart, #8 overall pick, 2018 One of the top prep stars of his class, right-hander Carter Stewart opted not to sign with the Braves who had offered Stewart a below-slot bonus…...

2+ day, 20+ hour ago (582+ words) In the season of thanks, plenty of things exist for Atlanta Braves country to be thankful for. Some are obvious, while others force you into deep reflection on how great things are in Atlanta compared to other less fortunate fanbases. Let's take a look at what exactly Braves fans are most thankful for heading into the 2026 season. The consensus around Atlanta's farm system is that the organization has a bottom-third system in baseball. Yet, the Braves continue to churn out productive rookies each season. Drake Baldwin is just the latest example, as Spencer Schwellenbach, Michael Harris II, and Spencer Strider all made massive impacts during their respective rookie campaigns. For 2026, JR Ritchie, Jhancarlos Lara, and Didier Fuentes all could be names to watch as ascending prospects. However, Atlanta excels at getting production from some of the less recognized prospects so…...
