Atlanta Braves Trading Like It’s 1991
This is what Atlanta Braves fans like to see. Management making sneaky good deals right near the deadline. No need for the expensive hood ornaments when you can go out and get quality players that act like a can of STP in your crank case. That’s exactly what the Braves did last night when they [...]
TweetMLB Rumors: Lester or Shields a Contingency Plan for the Atlanta Braves?
As it goes so often during this time of year, the best laid plans…or trades…many times go awry.

Leverage, 5/10 player, contract extension, free agency. All are terms that lead to one problem.

That’s not [...]
TweetAtlanta Braves Make Trade with Cincinnati Reds
With a shortage of shortstops due to injuries, the Atlanta Braves were forced to dip into their reserve of young talent to fill that gap.

Janish is supposed to report to the Braves Sunday [...]
TweetMLB Rumors: Atlanta Braves are in the Shortstop Market
