Atlanta Braves news and notes from Friday.
There was virtually no news surrounding the Atlanta Braves on Friday. It appears the next big deadline comes on January 10th, when players and teams exchange arbitration figures. For now, though, we’ve got a season review and some thoughts following the Winter Meetings.

The weekend beckons
Hope everybody’s had a good week and looking forward what will be an even better weekend. Don’t have much more to add other than the random clp, so here you go!

While the Braves didn’t set the baseball world on fire in Dallas, they still have some time to make the moves needed to fortify their squad.
This year’s Winter Meetings have come and gone and the Atlanta Braves ended up staying quiet for the most part. The biggest move they made was adding Anderson Pilar and Christian Cairo to their active roster via the Rule 5 Draft, which was something relatively new since they hadn’t participated in the MLB...
Braves fans are understandably frustrated with the team’s lack of action so far this offseason. While other teams are throwing around cash with reckless abandon, Atlanta has yet to make a significant move.

The Braves weren’t flush with good stories in 2024, but one of them was Grant Holmes’ surprising success as a 28-year-old rookie pitcher.
One of the best stories of the 2024 Atlanta Braves season was that of 28-year-old rookie pitcher Grant Holmes, who made his big league debut and ended up being a valuable swing man for the Atlanta pitching staff after toiling for a decade in the minors. Holmes went from pitching well at...
A popular debate among Braves fans is what is the club’s biggest need this offseason? A case could be made for the outfield, as Michael Harris II is really the only proven guy on the roster that is set to be healthy on Opening Day.
While Braves fans anxiously wait for a substantial free agent signing, the club did make a small move last night, signing right-handed reliever Wander

Atlanta Braves news and notes from Thursday.
The Winter Meetings have officially come to a close, and things were quiet for the Atlanta Braves. With Max Fried officially off the board, there are still plenty of questions when it comes to starting pitching and some other areas of the diamond, too. Until the Braves make a groundbreaking contract, we’ve got some season reviews, comments from Brian Snitker, and more.
Braves News:
The Braves...
The winter meetings are here, which means teams will all go in for trades and free agents. As major free agent chips fall, the winter meetings mark some important times for certain teams.
The Braves may have won the World Series just a few years back, but nearly the entire core of that roster is no longer in Atlanta. The mass exodus began with Freddie Freeman, who went onto sign with the Dodgers just months after the team’s first championship since 1995.
The Braves have signed right-hander Wander Suero to a minor league deal, reports Matt Eddy of Baseball America. The Rep 1 Baseball client will presumably receive an invite to major league spring training as well.

The Winter Meetings are over and the now the offseason abyss truly commences.
Hopefully everybody’s been having a solid week so far. None of us may have signed a contract for $765 million or anything like that but tomorrow is Friday and that’s not half-bad at all. Here’s the random clip:
Unlike Freddie Freeman‘s free agency saga, Max Fried‘s departure from Atlanta was rather anticlimactic. For over a year, analysts had predicted the Braves’ ace would leave for greener pastures, confidently stating he had priced himself out of the team’s budget with his stellar performance.
While the Braves haven’t made a single notable addition this offseason, they’ve been adjacent to plenty of blockbuster news, most recently with Max Fried inking an eight-year deal with the Yankees.

Isaiah Drake is a high upside bat in the lower levels of the Braves system.
How AcquiredThe Atlanta Braves drafted outfielder Isaiah Drake in the fifth round in the 2023 MLB Draft out of local North Atlanta HS, and gave him an overslot $747,500 signing bonus to keep him from attending Georgia Tech.

The Texan reliever heads to free agency after an injury-plagued and homer-filled season.
There were three Atlanta Braves who entered the 2024 campaign having made their big-league debut with the club in 2017: second baseman Ozzie Albies, starting pitcher Max Fried, and reliever A.J. Minter.
For both the left-handed pitchers, 2024 marked what could be their last year with the organization — at least for now — as they entered the...

Anderson Pilar and Christian Cairo could be interesting depth for the Braves in 2025
The Atlanta Braves pulled off a bit of a surprise move, picking not one but two players in the major league portion of the Rule 5 draft. Why was this a surprise? Well the Braves haven’t picked a player in the Major League portion of the Rule 5 draft since 2017, meaning zero picks since Alex Anthopoulos took the reins as General Manager. Well, they did it this year,...
Amid a tumultuous 2024 season for the Atlanta Braves, one rookie in particular emerged as a huge bright spot: Spencer Schwellenbach. Rated as the organization’s third-best pitching prospect by MLB Pipeline entering the 2024 season, Schwellenbach was an afterthought to crack the rotation in 2024.
