Many Braves fans are clear in what they want — for an organization that hasn’t won a playoff series since 2001, a deep playoff run in 2019 is clearly the goal, and fans want to see their team stop at nothing to get there. With...

News and notes as Braves’ Pitchers and Catchers report
Braves Pitchers and catchers reported on Friday and there was plenty of news and notes to come out of the first day of camp. The biggest news had to do with the health of rookie right-hander Mike Soroka who has completed six pain-free bullpen sessions already and will not be limited during the spring.

Our final article in...
Everything you need to know about the Braves as they prepare to open camp.
Braves fans have been none too pleased to see a surprising NL East title and NLDS appearance followed up by a relatively quiet offseason. While Atlanta made a big splash early by signing Josh Donaldson to a one-year deal and followed that with the nostalgic addition of Brian McCann, there’s been little activity since. Atlanta re-upped with Nick Markakis on an affordable one-year deal which, while reasonable from a financial perspective, did little to satiate those who’d been hoping for...
Good news on Soroka and more news and notes from the opening of spring camp.
Pitchers and catchers reported on Friday for the Atlanta Braves as they prepare open their final spring camp at Disney’s Wide World of Sports Complex. The opening of camp is always met with optimism and today was no different.
Perhaps the best news today came in regards to rookie right-hander Mike Soroka. MLB.com’s Mark Bowman reports that Soroka has already completed six pain-free bullpen sessions and he will...

It’s been a long winter, but we finally have actual live baseball underway within the next few hours and with that comes a look at some of the top prospects in the 2019 MLB Draft.
This draft is very likely the last time in the foreseeable future that the Braves will have a...
A familiar group returns for another run in 2019.
The Atlanta Braves’ outfield will have a similar look as Ronald Acuna Jr, Ender Inciarte and Nick Markakis return for the 2019 season. The only real question mark as far as the roster goes is whether or not Adam Duvall can bounce back and provide the team with some depth off the bench. The team is also bringing top prospects Cristian Pache and Drew Waters to camp so this will be a position group worth paying attention to for the next...
As the Braves open camp, they'll provide a glimpse of how much they have progressed since claiming an unexpected division crown last year. Freddie Freeman, Ronald Acuna Jr. and Ozzie Albies will once again be in a lineup that has been enriched by the addition of Josh Donaldson, the former American League MVP Award winner who thus far arguably ranks as baseball's top free-agent signee.
