Maria Chavez+FollowWhy Bruce Chen’s Braves story deserves a second lookBruce Chen’s journey with the Braves isn’t your typical “top prospect bust” tale. While Atlanta fans might remember him as a “what if,” Chen quietly built a 17-year MLB career—something most pitchers only dream about. He pitched over 1,500 innings, struck out more than 1,100 hitters, and found late-career success by reinventing himself, especially with the Royals. It’s easy to overlook players who don’t become instant stars, but Chen’s story is a reminder that success in baseball isn’t always about superstardom—it’s about staying power and adaptability.

Timothy Huff MD+FollowBraves Eyeing Big Move: Ozzie for Berrios?Braves Country, buckle up! After missing out on Freddy Peralta, Atlanta’s front office is reportedly considering a blockbuster deal: sending fan favorite Ozzie Albies and top prospect Alex Lodise to the Blue Jays for veteran ace Jose Berrios. Trading Ozzie, a three-time All-Star and clubhouse spark plug, would sting, but Berrios’ playoff experience could be the missing piece. Would you pull the trigger on this trade, or is Ozzie too valuable to let go? #Sports #Baseball #Braves00Share
Cassandra Reed+FollowBraves fans react to Acuña Jr staying in outfieldLosing Ronald Acuña Jr. to another ACL tear was a gut punch for Braves fans, and the offseason only brought more curveballs. After Ha-Seong Kim’s freak injury left a hole in the infield, there was real buzz about Acuña possibly shifting to shortstop—a move that would’ve shaken up the team’s look. But the Braves have put those rumors to rest, keeping Acuña in the outfield to protect his health. With so many injuries piling up, do you think Atlanta is playing it too safe, or is this the right call for their superstar’s future? #Sports #Baseball #Braves00Share
Cassandra Reed+FollowBraves shake up infield after Kim injuryLosing Ha-Seong Kim for months is a tough blow for the Braves, but the front office wasted no time signing Jorge Mateo to fill the gap. Mateo’s got serious speed—over 100 career stolen bases—and he’s played all over the infield, though injuries have slowed him down lately. It’s not clear if he’ll be the everyday shortstop or just extra depth, but with Kim out until at least mid-June, the Braves are clearly hedging their bets. How do you feel about this move? Is Mateo the answer, or should Atlanta keep looking for more help? #Sports #Baseball #Braves00Share
Maria Chavez+FollowAtlanta’s forgotten All-Star catcherJohnny Estrada’s 2004 All-Star season with the Braves often gets lost in the shuffle of Atlanta’s catcher legacy. Most fans remember McCann, Lopez, or d’Arnaud, but Estrada stepped up big when the team needed him—after a budget crunch forced a surprising trade. He delivered a Silver Slugger-worthy year, helping bridge the gap between eras. His run was cut short by injury and the rise of Brian McCann, but for a moment, Estrada was the guy behind the plate. Does Estrada deserve more love from Braves fans? Who else is an underrated Atlanta hero? #Sports #Baseball #Braves10Share
Timothy Huff MD+FollowBraves’ $20M signing sidelined after freak injuryAtlanta’s big offseason move just hit a major snag—Ha-Seong Kim, signed for $20 million, is out for up to five months after breaking his hand in a totally bizarre accident: slipping on ice. It’s the kind of misfortune Mets fans know all too well, and it’s already shaking up the Braves’ plans before the season even starts. With Kim out, Mauricio Dubon steps up, but this is a tough blow for a team hoping to bounce back from last year’s injury chaos. How do you think this changes the NL East race? #Sports #Baseball #Braves20Share
Renee Ramirez+FollowWhy Atlanta should bet on a veteran pitcherSeeing Aaron Harang shine for the Braves back in 2014—after everyone thought he was washed up—reminds me just how valuable a reliable veteran arm can be. Atlanta’s rotation could use that same kind of steady presence this season. Chris Bassitt, for example, might not be the flashiest name, but his track record and durability could be exactly what the Braves need to round out their staff. With young pitching prospects on the way, adding a proven vet feels like the perfect finishing touch. What do you think—should Atlanta trust experience over upside? #Sports #Baseball #Braves20Share
Catherine Reeves+FollowBraves eye Giolito for a pitching power duoImagine the Braves rotation with Lucas Giolito teaming up with Chris Sale—suddenly, Atlanta’s pitching could go from shaky to scary. Giolito’s 2025 numbers (10-4, 3.41 ERA, 121 Ks) show he’s still got it, even after elbow surgery. Sure, there’s some risk, but the upside is huge if he bounces back. With so many question marks around the other starters, locking in another proven ace could be the move that keeps Atlanta in the hunt. Would you roll the dice on Giolito for a three-year, $61 million deal? Let’s hear your take! #Sports #Baseball #Braves10Share
Cassandra Reed+FollowWhy the Braves’ new pitcher could surprise usAtlanta’s latest roster move isn’t about a headline-grabbing ace, but a 26-year-old righty named Blayne Enlow who’s quietly fighting for a second chance. After a tough run in Triple-A and a stint on the injured list, Enlow’s journey is all about resilience and untapped potential. These under-the-radar signings often fly below the radar, but sometimes they end up making a real impact. Spring training in North Port could be his shot to turn things around. What do you think—can a low-risk signing like this actually change the Braves’ season? #Sports #Baseball #Braves00Share
terrysharon+FollowBraves shake up roster, send two to RaysAtlanta’s front office is on the move again—Ken Waldichuk and Brett Wisely are headed to the Rays, just days after joining the Braves themselves. Both were recent waiver pickups, but with the team’s focus on lefty depth and utility infielders, they became the odd men out. This kind of roster churn shows how quickly things can change behind the scenes. How do you feel about the Braves’ approach to building depth? Do you think these rapid moves help or hurt team chemistry? Let’s hear your take! #Sports #Baseball #Braves10Share
