• After the longest month ever, Braves Spring Training is almost here

Photo by Kevin D. Liles/Atlanta Braves/Getty Images What do we know, and what we don’t, about the upcoming season as the Braves get ready to head to North Port. January 2025 was the longest month ever. But we made it. February is here and that means pitcher and catchers will be reporting in less that two weeks with full squad workouts starting for the Atlanta Braves a few days after that...2025

• What do you get when you hire Hyers?

Photo by Ric Tapia/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images Kevin Seitzer’s departure was a bit of a shock, but the addition of Tim Hyers seems somewhat obvious in retrospect I’ll be honest, I thought the Braves’ axing of Kevin Seitzer early this offseason was one of the more unexpected, shocking things to happen to this team in its current, post-rebuild, contending era. If you asked me for my top...2025

• Assorted thoughts on the Braves’ commitment to Jurickson Profar

Photo by Matt Thomas/San Diego Padres/Getty Images Did the Braves wiggle out of their comfort zone? Does it matter? I considered titling this post, “So Profar, So Good,” but, that seemed to make little sense at this juncture, and that was a headline-in-the-sand I’m not willing to cross at this point. Did the Atlanta Braves do well by signing Jurickson Profar to a three-year, $42 million de...2025

JON RATHBUN / Herkimer Times Telegram / USA TODAY NETWORK Spoiler: there will be no gifting of birds. It’s the holiday season. It’s also a rather busy point in the baseball offseason.

They say, “All good things must come to an end.” They clearly weren’t talking about the 2024 Atlanta Braves. If they were, they might have said “All disappointing, crippled things must come to an end.” The Braves came into the 2024 season with more promise than eve...2024
