Some might say the NL East race is over, but that doesn’t mean Atlanta’s season is If we’re being honest, the Phillies were already in the process of putting some serious distance between themselves and the Braves. Their division lead is up to six games heading into Memorial Day — the largest lead in any division in baseball, if you can believe that. And while the Phillies have a much tougher schedule over the next month than anything they’ve faced up to this point, plucking Acuña out of the Braves’ lineup clears the path for the Phillies considerably. (One clear…

Due to a plethora of injuries, the Braves, who didn’t seem like they would be incredibly active at this year’s trade deadline, now could be the most active of any club in the majors. On paper, they could use another starting pitcher, but most notably, they need someone to replace the offensive production left by Ronald Acuña Jr, who is out for the season after suffering a torn ACL. The obvious direction for the Braves is to search for outfielders leading up to the trade deadline. Just like they did in 2021, the last time Acuña tore his ACL, which led to…

With Ronald Acuña Jr. down for the season, everybody expects the Braves to add another outfielder before the trade deadline, if not multiple. Much like they did in 2021 when they acquired Joc Pederson, Jorge Soler, and Adam Duvall. However, trades two months out from the trade deadline are rare. For now, they have to go with the internal options and what’s ever left on the waiver wire, which they made use of yesterday by signing Ramón Laureano. Ramón Laureano will fit in perfectly with the struggling 2024 Braves offense because he also cannot hit. In 31 games for the Guardians…

The Florida Complex League season is starting up a month earlier than usual, and to be exact the opening day for the league is May 4th. Official releases for the complex league are not posted, and often players will be listed on the roster and not appear in games due to injury or the Atlanta Braves having them work on the side. Still, we got a slew of official assignments on the MiLB transactions page, and there is a collection of big names to follow. We’ll go ahead and start out with the two big names, as Jose Perdomo and Luis Guanipa…

The Atlanta Braves have to replace one of baseball’s best players for the second time in three years. Reigning National League Most Valuable Player Ronald Acuña Jr. is out for the season with a torn ACL, his second such injury in the last three years. Acuña Jr. missed half of 2021 and the beginning of the 2022 season as he returned from his first ACL tear which he suffered in July 2021. Now, he’ll miss the remainder of 2024, and likely the beginning of 2025. This is a huge blow for the Braves who have World Series aspirations year in and…
