If the Braves have learned anything as an organization after watching the team play over the past couple seasons, it’s to expect the unexpected – both in terms of player injuries (of which there have been many) and underperformance of starting players. That’s why this sportswriter feels that the Braves approach to the offseason willContinue reading “Braves offseason signings give the team much-needed flexibility”

Four Braves players who should NOT factor into the team’s plans for next season
It’s no secret that the Braves have been downright unwatchable at times this season. Team-wide underperformance, injuries to key players, and having a manager on the verge of retirement have clearly made this team unwatchable during a long season. That said, the team has some big decisions to make this offseason as they attempt to rebuild theirContinue reading “Four Braves players who should NOT factor into the team’s plans for next season”

Atlanta Braves could explore a reunion with these old friends at the MLB Trade Deadline
Braves GM Alex Anthopoulos made headlines recently when he declared in his radio interview that, “we [the Braves] are not selling… Will. Not. Happen. Bold, italicize it. We’re built to win. Our expectations are to win. Our expectations are to go for it….” With this notion in mind, and in recognition of the fact thatContinue reading “Atlanta Braves could explore a reunion with these old friends at the MLB Trade Deadline”
Making the case for a Braves postseason run
The Braves have a 24-23 record and are 5 games back of the Mets in the NL East race after an 0-7 start in which things went from bad to ugly in remarkably quick fashion.

Atlanta Braves Opening Day Roster Prediction
The Braves are currently in the thick of Spring Training, with their first game of the regular season slated for Thursday, March 27th on the road vs. the San Diego Padres.

With Saturday’s headline-grabbing news that the franchise plans to release QB Kirk Cousins before the start of the new league year on March 17th, it’s time to reassess whether or not the team’s regime should continue to stand as currently constructed.

End of an Error: Giants cut Daniel Jones
The Giants certainly took a chance when they selected QB Daniel Jones out of Duke with the No. 6 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, and the gamble didn’t pay off at all. Daniel Jones was benched by the New York Giants this week after 70 middling starts. He was later relegated to fourth-stringContinue reading “End of an Error: Giants cut Daniel Jones”
Falcons are NFL trade deadline losers
The Atlanta Falcons organization will regret their decision to forego adding much-needed reinforcements on the defensive line as the NFL trade deadline has passed. Adding legitimate talent to a pass-rushing unit that has struggled to produce in 2024 should have been the priority, as the unit has been the team’s kryptonite this season. Several opportunitiesContinue reading “Falcons are NFL trade deadline losers”
