This Braves prospect is straight dealing

Ian Mejia just absolutely torched Double-A with a ridiculous 12-2 record and 2.62 ERA - the most wins by a Braves Double-A pitcher since 2008! This dude was picked 335th overall in 2022 and now he's got that nasty slider working at a 42% whiff rate. First Columbus Clingstones player EVER to make the Southern League All-Star team. The Braves' farm system keeps churning out gems while everyone sleeps on guys like Mejia. Rule 5 Draft looming though - think another team's gonna snatch this late-round steal? #Sports #Baseball #Braves

Karinchak’s fire: Boom or bust for Braves?

Braves Country, are we really rolling the dice on Wild Thing Karinchak? The dude’s got electric stuff and a bulldog mentality, but those shoulder issues have been a nightmare for relievers. If he finds that old strikeout magic, Truist Park’s gonna love his energy. But if he melts down, this bullpen experiment could get ugly fast. Is this the spark our pen needs, or just another rehab project? #Sports #Baseball #Braves

Grant Holmes’ health shakes up Braves’ plans

Grant Holmes is back in top form, and that could totally change how the Braves approach the offseason. With Holmes healthy, Atlanta suddenly has a much deeper rotation, which means they might not need to spend big on another starting pitcher. That could free up resources for a real upgrade at shortstop or in the bullpen. Anthopoulos says Holmes is good to go, and if that holds, it’s a game-changer for Opening Day. Braves fans, what do you think—should the team trust Holmes and focus elsewhere, or still add another arm just in case? #Sports #Baseball #Braves

Braves fans, here’s why Ozuna isn’t coming back

Marcell Ozuna’s name keeps popping up, but the Braves seem set on a new direction—and it actually makes a lot of sense. ESPN’s Kiley McDaniel didn’t hold back, pointing out that Ozuna’s value is all about his bat, and with his recent decline (plus being 35 and coming off a hip issue), the risk just feels too high. Atlanta wants a flexible DH spot to rotate stars like Acuña Jr. and Murphy, keeping everyone fresh. Honestly, it’s hard to argue with that logic. What do you think—should the Braves move on or give Ozuna one more shot? #Sports #Baseball #Braves

Murph & Sheffield Snubbed Again by HOF Voters

Tough news for Braves Country—Dale “Murph” Murphy and Gary Sheffield were left out of Cooperstown once more after the latest Contemporary Baseball Era Committee vote. Jeff Kent got the surprise nod, but Murph (a two-time MVP and fan favorite) and Sheff (with over 500 homers) just can’t seem to break through. Do you think the committee is undervaluing their impact, or is the Hall’s bar just too high? #Sports #Baseball #Braves

Braves could lose top pitching prospect in Rule 5 draft

Atlanta’s front office just left Blake Burkhalter, their 11th-best prospect, unprotected in the upcoming Rule 5 Draft—meaning another team could scoop him up for just $100,000. Burkhalter, a righty with a solid Double-A track record, has caught the eye of MLB insiders and could be exactly what a pitching-needy club is looking for. If he gets picked and figures things out elsewhere, the Braves might regret letting him go. Would you risk losing a promising arm like Burkhalter, or do you trust Atlanta’s judgment here? #Sports #Baseball #Braves

Braves fans: Is it time to trade Sean Murphy?

The Braves could be making a major move this offseason—trading Sean Murphy, their $45 million catcher, might actually make sense. With Drake Baldwin fresh off an NL Rookie of the Year win and ready to take over behind the plate, Atlanta has a rare chance to cash in on Murphy’s value while the free agent catcher market is thin. Murphy’s hip injury is a concern, but his defense and contract could attract plenty of interest. Would you be on board with the Braves handing the keys to Baldwin and shaking up the roster? #Sports #Baseball #Braves

Murphy’s Future: Braves’ Catcher Dilemma

Braves Country, what’s your take on the Sean Murphy situation? After a tough year and hip surgery, the Gold Glove backstop is rumored to be on the trade block, thanks to Drake Baldwin’s breakout. With “Murph” still elite behind the plate but battling injuries, do you think Atlanta should cash in now or keep the veteran for another run? This could be a pivotal move for the 2026 roster! #Sports #Baseball #Braves

Braves Land Rojas: Dodgers Fans React

Wow, Braves Country just pulled off a sneaky move by signing Miguel Rojas away from the Dodgers! LA fans have to be feeling this one—Rojas was clutch in last year’s World Series, and his glove is still gold. Atlanta’s been hurting at shortstop, so adding a proven vet like Rojas could be the missing piece for another October run. Did the Dodgers make a mistake letting him walk, or is this just smart business by the Braves? #Sports #Baseball #Braves

Braves’ Caminiti shakes up his game with a new pitch

Cam Caminiti’s latest move could be a game-changer for the Braves. After dominating the minors with his four-pitch mix, the top prospect added a kick changeup to his arsenal this season. This isn’t just another offspeed pitch—its unique grip gives him more movement and a new way to keep hitters guessing, especially as a lefty. While he’s still working on control, the potential is huge. If he nails it, Caminiti could be climbing the ranks even faster. Braves fans, what do you think—will this new pitch make him the next big thing in Atlanta? #Sports #Baseball #Braves
