Will the Atlanta Braves go big to re-sign a Max Fried, or do they play it safe and look for a couple of cheaper options to build depth? We’ll discuss in this episode. Also, Travis d’Arnaud signs with the Angels. What does this mean for Chadwick Tromp and Drake Baldwin?

Even with most of the Atlanta Braves' top arms from a dominant 2024 returning, you can never have enough pitchers making that a priority this offseason. In this episode, we’ll rank the Atlanta Braves' needs this offseason and dive into top prospects Nacho Alvarez and Drue Hackenberg.

The foundation of the Atlanta Braves roster is good enough to win a World Series. So do they need to go after one big move or several smaller moves to build depth? In today’s mailbag episode we have several questions asking about low cost options to help improve the team and add depth to the roster.

The Atlanta Braves are blessed with a ton of depth in the starting rotation, but can you ever have enough starting pitching?

After a disappointing 2024 season, the Atlanta Braves could be looking to shake things up (and already have) this offseason. Grant McAuley joins the show and he and Jake talk about all of the big storylines facing the Braves as they try to rebound in 2025.

Alex Anthopoulos wasted no time starting the offseason by trading Jorge Soler to the Los Angeles Angels for pitcher Griffin Canning. The move takes care of a logjam at the DH spot and also helps the Braves free up a lot of money to possibly make other moves this offseason.

Despite losing Spencer Strider after just two starts, the Atlanta Braves starting rotation went on to be the best in all of baseball. In this episode, we’ll dive into the 2024 season for the Braves’ starting rotation, including the great work by Chris Sale, Max Fried, Reynaldo Lopez and Spencer Schwellenbach. And even with the potential of losing Fried and Charlie Morton this offseason, the Braves might go into 2025 with one of the best rotations on paper.

While it’s OK to be upset at the fact the Atlanta Braves didn’t bring back Freddie Freeman, the dislike for Matt Olson is unjustified. In this episode, we’ll take a look into the 2024 seasons of both Matt Olson and Austin Riely. Both will be looking to bounce back with big seasons in 2025.

The acquisition of Jorge Soler has created a bit of a conundrum for the Atlanta Braves and their DH spot going forward. Not only do the Braves have to good players in Marcell Ozuna and Jorge Soler for the DH spot, but Ronald Acuńa Jr. might need to use that spot as well coming back from a second ACL tear. Will the Braves look to trade Soler or Ozuna, or will they try putting Soler back in the outfield again? We’ll discuss this on today’s show.

If the Atlanta Braves look to make some smaller moves this offseason with upside, who are some players they will target? In this mailbag episode, we’ll discuss whether or not the Braves are more likely to upgrade shortstop or left field and who are some cheap options to fill out the starting rotation.

After deciding to shake up the hitting staff, the Atlanta Braves went out and got a two-time World Series coach in Tim Hyers. He’s spent the past 3 years with the Texas Rangers and was the Boston Red Sox before that. Can he help get this offense back to elite levels? We’ll discuss in today’s episode.

Is Michael Harris the next big thing for the Atlanta Braves? As we dissect his 2024 season, we explore his impressive offensive stats and defensive prowess, while also identifying areas for growth.

Join us for an engaging analysis of Michael Harris's journey and what lies ahead for this promising Atlanta Braves star.

After a disappointing season by many fan’s standards for the Atlanta Braves in 2024, Alex Anthopoulos’ job as the GM has wrongfully come into question. While there have been some misses lately, you cannot argue the position AA has put this team in long-term and the great moves he’s made like acquiring the 2024 NL Cy Young winner.

The Atlanta Braves seem to have a surplus of young pitching prospects and outfielders, could they use that to upgrade shortstop or somewhere else? In this episode, we’ll look at some possible trade scenarios for the Braves this offseason for shortstop and some free agent starters who they might target to replace Max Fried and Charlie Morton.

Despite missing a lot of time over the last several years, Ozzie Albies remains a great player and contract for the Atlanta Braves. However, the defense has declined with the new shift restrictions, he’s been a slightly below-average hitter for two of the last three years, and he’s only played in more than 100 games once in the last three seasons.

The Atlanta Braves took on a lot of money last offseason to acquire Jarred Kelenic, the early returns weren’t all that promising. In this episode, we’ll take a look back at the 2024 season for Kelenic and what the Braves’ plans should be with the outfielder going into 2025 if he is not traded.

With the sudden firing of hitting coaches Kevin Seizter and Bobby Magallanes, you would think this means the Atlanta Braves are going with a different approach offensively. How much (if any) did Chipper Jones’ comments affect the division, and is he a candidate for the job?

The Atlanta Braves face a pivotal offseason with key decisions on player health and potential upgrades at shortstop. With a rotation possibly featuring Spencer Strider, Chris Sale, and Pablo Lopez, the Braves are poised for a strong 2025. However, questions linger about left field and shortstop, with intriguing options like Ezequiel Tovar on the radar. The Braves' offensive strategy may need a shift towards a balance of power and contact to enhance postseason success. While payroll is set to rise, the team is unlikely to pursue high-cost free agents like Willy Adames or Max Fried. Jorge Soler emerges as a potential trade candidate, adding another layer of intrigue. Will the Braves' strategic choices lead to a championship run? Tune in for an engaging discussion on their path forward.

While Orlando Arcia has delivered tremendous value for the Atlanta Braves in the last two years, he should not be the starting shortstop in 2025. In this episode, we’ll break down the offensive and defensive side of Arcia’s game and determine if he deserves to keep his spot as the Braves shortstop going into 2025.

Join the Atlanta Baseball Party on Locked On Sports Atlanta, where hosts Trip, Jarvis Davis, and Tenitra dive into the highs and lows of the Atlanta Braves' 2024 season. Despite a disappointing end with a Wild Card sweep by the San Diego Padres, the team showed resilience amidst numerous injuries.

The Atlanta Braves gave up a lot to get Sean Murphy, but two seasons into that deal, many fans are wondering if he’s actually the catcher of the future. In this episode we’ll recap the seasons for both Murphy and Travis d’Aranud and what the catcher situation might look like for the Braves in the future with Drake Baldwin emerging.

It’s easy to blame the coaching staff when things aren’t going right, but the Atlanta Braves are set to bring everyone back for 2025. Also on this episode we’ll break down Alex Anthpoulos’ end of season comments on the coaching staff, Max Fried, Orlando Arcia, payroll, and more.

While the Atlanta Braves won 89 games and made the postseason, they did that despite a lot of things going wrong in 2024. The injuries are mostly to blame for the poor performance offensively, but that’s not all that went wrong. Jake also gives his final feelings on what was a painful 2024 season for fans.

In today’s mailbag episode, we focus on questions about the 2024 season for the Atlanta Braves and what we might have done differently. We’ll talk about our favorite moments from the season, the lack of stolen bases, and viable call-ups from the farm.

It has been a frustrating season for the Atlanta Braves and it finally comes to an end at the hands of the San Diego Padres in the National League Wild Card round. Max Fried put the Braves behind early once again and it was too much for the offense to overcome despite some late-inning heroics from Michael Harris.

The Atlanta Braves fell down early and could not pick themselves up in a 5-4 loss to the San Diego Padres that ended a challenging and frustrating season of baseball.

The Atlanta Braves season is on the line and Max Fried will try to keep them from elimination in what might be his last start in a Braves uniform. It might not matter how well Max Fried pitches if the offense continues to struggle to put runs on the board.

Join the Atlanta Baseball Party on Locked On Sports Atlanta for an in-depth look at the Atlanta Braves' thrilling season. Hosts Tenitra Batiste and Jarvis Davis dive into the emotional highs and lows of the Braves' journey to the playoffs, highlighting key moments like the nail-biting doubleheader against the Mets.

With Chris Sale unavailable, the Atlanta Braves were forced to chance their pitching plans for Game 1 of the National League Wild Card Series, but it was their hitting which was once again unable to execute against Michael King and the San Diego Padres in a 4-0 loss at Petco Park on Tuesday.

At the start of 2024 the Atlanta Braves were among the favorites to win the World Series, but as the postseason begins they’re one of the biggest underdogs. We’ll dive deep into the matchup between the Braves and the Padres and see where Atlanta can take advantage. Somebody will get the start in Game 1, surviving that game could be the key to winning the series.

The stage is set as the Atlanta Braves get ready to take on the San Diego Padres. Javi and Jake get together for a crossover episode to break down the matchup.

With their backs against the wall, the Atlanta Braves came through with a 3-0 victory in Game 162 to punch their ticket to the postseason, splitting a doubleheader with the New York Mets at Truist Park on Monday.

After a horrendous loss in game one, the Atlanta Braves regrouped to win the second game to get into the postseason. Chris Sale got scratched in the second game, but Grant Holmes delivered once again and the offense did enough. What can we expect against the Padres? Who is available to pitch?

The Atlanta Braves had a chance to completely control their own destiny with a victory on Sunday, but they were unable to mount anything offensively in a 4-2 loss to the Kansas City Royals. That forces a decisive win-to-get-in double header against the New York Mets at Truist Park on Monday.

The Atlanta Braves had a chance to clinch a postseason spot on Sunday, but after falling behind early the offense couldn’t come up with the big hit. They’ll still have two more chances on Monday as the Mets come back to town, and they’ll have Spencer Schwellenbach and Chris Sale ready. But can the offense get the hits they need to send them to the postseason?

Needing a late jolt, Travis d'Arnaud delivered a walk-off home run as the Atlanta Braves topped the Kansas City Royals by a 2-1 score on Saturday at Truist Park.

The Atlanta Braves received a vintage performance from Max Fried, who finished an out away from recording a complete game shutout in his team's 3-0 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Friday at Truist Park.

If the Atlanta Braves need a starter in one of the games on Monday, would they call up Ian Anderson with the season on the line? Other questions in today’s mailbag episode have to do with possible postseason scenarios, Ozzie’s future as a hitter, and if this team would benefit from a lack of pressure in the postseason.

Postponing two of the season's most important games has thrown the Atlanta Braves' plans for the end of the season into chaos. The Braves plan to sit back and see what happens over the weekend and play the rotation by ear as we currently don’t know when Chris Sale will pitch again. In this episode, we’ll discuss the change of plans due to weather, who the Braves are rooting for, and the risk they’re taking with the rotation.

Spencer Schwellenbach continues to impress in the biggest moments as he tossed 7 strong innings, while Micahel Harris delivered the offense in a 5-1 win for the Atlanta Braves. In a series the Braves need to sweep to have a good chance to make the postseason, they start it off with a dominating win over the Mets. The job is not done yet, but will they get these games in as a hurricane threatens the next two?

With their season on the line, the Atlanta Braves came out swinging in a 5-1 victory over the rival New York Mets on Tuesday at Truist Park, and with it pulled to within a game of the final Wild Card spot in the National League.

After getting back-to-back series wins on the road, the Atlanta Braves set themselves up for a huge final week that will feel like the postseason. The minor league season has come to an end for the Braves, we’ll look at the last week for Gwinnett and if anybody there could make an impact in the final week. If the Braves are going to have any chance of getting into the postseason, they have to at least win this week’s series against the New York Mets who have been one of the best teams in baseball since the end of May.

The Atlanta Braves had to work for it on Sunday, but they prevailed with a 5-4 victory over the Miami Marlins to secure a series win at loanDepot park and set up their showdown with the New York Mets.

Needing every win they can muster down the stretch, the Atlanta Braves bounced back to beat the Miami Marlins 6-2 on Saturday thanks to a late power surge at loanDepot park.

The Atlanta Braves got down early and never emerged with a rally to turn things around in a 4-3 defeat at the hands of the last place Miami Marlins on Friday at loanDepot park.

As we prepare for the final week of the regular season, will the Atlanta Braves find their way into a postseason spot? In this week’s mailbag episode, Jake will answer questions regarding the value of Ozzie Albies’ return, the Phillie’s comments on Snitker’s comments, and which of the 2024 replacement players will be back.

For a moment, the Atlanta Braves acted like the 2023 team as the offensive blasted 6 home runs in 15-3 win over the Reds. What seemed like a forgone conclusion coming into the year, the Atlanta Braves will need a big finish just to get into the postseason. Ozzie Albies is set to return in Miami where the Braves can’t come away with anything less than a sweep.

It was a big day at the plate as the Atlanta Braves made some home run history in their 15-3 blowout of the Cincinnati Reds on Thursday.

Following a rough loss to the Reds, Spencer Schwellenbach helped get the Atlanta Braves back on track with a 7-1 win. The rookie continues his impressive rookie season in what has become an annual tradition for Braves rookie starters. Who will be the next one?

The Atlanta Braves grabbed an early lead but could not hold on as the Cincinnati Reds rallied for a 6-5 victory on Tuesday.

The Atlanta Braves let another one against the Dodgers slip away after failing to come through on offense early. While the injuries have hurt the Braves tremendously, they also haven’t done the little things well and it’s cost them too many games. It’s the last road trip of the season and one the Braves have to take advantage of.

The Atlanta Braves offense could not find the hits it needed but the Los Angeles Dodgers had no such problem, scoring early and adding on late to secure a 9-0 victory on Monday and a series split at Truist Park.

After taking down the Los Angeles Dodgers in the first two games of the series, the Atlanta Braves let one slip away on Sunday night. The offense suddenly looked capable in the first two games, but then went back to its silent self on Sunday scoring just 2 runs. Can the Braves bounce back after another brutal loss?

The Atlanta Braves got yet another strong start from rookie Spencer Schwellenbach and provided some early run support to cruise to a 6-2 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday at Truist Park.

A lot of these week's questions are about what the Atlanta Braves will look like in 2025, but is it too early to be moving on from 2024? Other questions are about the offensive approach, coaching staff, and many others.

With the favorable schedule to start the month of September, the Atlanta Braves were unable to take advantage. And now they find themselves on the outside looking in for the postseason with the New York Mets staying red hot. How can the Braves possibly rebound with four games coming up against the Los Angeles Dodgers this weekend?

The Atlanta Braves offense finally had a blowout performance, but it was hard to enjoy with the injury news for Reynaldo López. On the Casa de Klub podcast, Chipper Jones had some very strong words for the Atlanta Braves offensive philosophy and how it doesn’t jive with his thoughts on hitting. Max Fried takes the mound on Wednesday in what feels like a must-win game with the Dodgers coming into town for four games.

Charlie Morton delivers another great pitching performance but the Atlanta Braves offense gets shutout at home in a 1-0 loss to the Reds. Everyone is going to watch because it’s baseball and the Atlanta Braves, but who on this time do you actually get excited to see play? Max Fried and Reynaldo Lopez will hope to deliver on the mound again, but nothing matters if the offense can’t score.

The Atlanta Braves need every win they can manage to keep their postseason hopes alive, but the Cincinnati Reds spoiled things with a 1-0 shutout on Monday at Truist Park.

The Atlanta Braves pick up another series win thanks to some dominant pitching led by Chris Sale and Max Fried. Offensively it continues to be a struggle to get much of anything going on a nightly basis. The minor league season is coming to an end and the Braves have many great, young pitchers to be excited about.

The Atlanta Braves finally found the runs they needed to secure a crucial series victory by outlasting the Toronto Blue Jays by a 4-3 score in 11 innings on Sunday at Truist Park.

Great pitching has been the key for the Atlanta Braves all year, and that's what Max Fried, Joe Jimenez, and Raisel Iglesias delivered against the Toronto Blue Jays in a 3-1 win. The offense continues to sputter, but they did just enough to get the win.

In this week’s mailbag podcast, we got several questions on the bullpen and Brian Snitker’s management of the Atlanta Braves bullpen. There are a variety of other questions on Sean Murphy, Charlie Morton, Chipper Jone’s absence, and many more.

While it's nice to see the Atlanta Braves start to beat a team that they should in the Rockies, they're not getting much help in the Wild Card race. It was a solid outing for Charlie Morton on Wednesday, but how much trust do you actually have for Morton at this point? Reynaldo Lopez will try to continue this dominant streak of pitching as the Braves go for a sweep on Thursday.

The Atlanta Braves had a standout month in August, setting the stage for a promising playoff run. In this episode of Locked On Sports Atlanta's "Atlanta Baseball Party," hosts Tenitra Batiste and Jarvis Davis dive into the Braves' recent performance. They highlight the exceptional contributions of the pitching staff, particularly Renaldo Lopez and Chris Sale, who have been pivotal in the team's success.

With the Atlanta Braves likely battling for a Wild Card spot the rest of this year, which one is more desirable? Chris Sale added to his Cy Young resume with a great performance as the Braves beat the Rockies 3-0. Can Charlie Morton keep his good stretch going and can the offense pick it up on Wednesday to help clinch a series win?

With his team in need of a bounceback performance, Chris Sale once again delivered as the Atlanta Braves shut out the Colorado Rockies by a 3-0 score on Tuesday at Truist Park.

August was the best month of the year since April for the Atlanta Braves, but they’ll need even more in September if they’re going to get in the postseason. We’ll take a look at what made August such a successful month and see if the Braves can replicate that in September with a very manageable schedule. That push for the postseason starts on Tuesday night with Chris Sale getting the start at home against the Colorado Rockies.

The Atlanta Braves gave the Philadelphia Phillies a good battle, but they ended up dropping the series and likely any shot at winning the NL East. There were certainly some questionable bullpen decisions that may have cost them this series, but the offense also was mostly absent in the final two games. The Braves 2024 first-round pick, Cam Caminiti, made his professional debut this past week. We’ll discuss that and everything else happening on the farm.

It was a night of missed opportunities for the Atlanta Braves offense as the Philadelphia Phillies outlasted them for a 3-2 victory in extra innings on Sunday at Citizens Bank Park, taking the series in the process.

The Atlanta Braves could not get anything going at the plate as they fell by a 3-0 score to the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday at Citizens Bank Park.

Reynaldo Lopez continued his impressive season with another strong start at the Atlanta Braves scored early and often in a 7-2 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday at Citizens Bank Park.

The Atlanta Braves have won a lot lately, which has also taxed their bullpen, which may have led directly to a loss on Thursday to the Phillies. As always, we have a variety of questions including some about Brian Snitker's eventual replacement, who the September call-ups will be, and what the outfield looks like in 2025.

The Atlanta Braves built an early lead but it was not enough to withstand a pair of clutch home runs by the Philadelphia Phillies in an eventual 5-4 loss on Thursday at Citizens Bank Park.

The Atlanta Braves did what they needed to in Minnesota getting a 3-game sweep allowing them a chance to get back in the NL East race. Chris Sale had another brilliant performance on the mound and Matt Olson came up with another clutch extra-base hit. The postseason races are hitting up and while the Braves have been racking up the wins, so has everyone around them.

Chris Sale was dialed in and the Atlanta Braves offense found the runs they needed to support him in a 5-1 victory over the Minnesota Twins to polish off a three-game sweep on Wednesday at Target Field.

Welcome to the Atlanta Baseball Party, your go-to podcast for the best Atlanta Braves baseball talk, brought to you by the Locked On Podcast Network.

The hosts discuss key players like Travis d'Arnaud and Matt Olson, who have been pivotal in clutch situations. They also highlight the contributions of new additions like Ramón Laureano and Whit Merrifield, who have stepped up offensively and defensively.

The Atlanta Braves survived in extra-innings again thanks to some clutch hitting by Ramon Laureano. Brian Snitker almost blew it with some poor management of the bullpen. Jarred Kelenic seems to have been replaced in the outfield, what is the plan with him going forward? Is this already a failed experiment? Chris Sale takes the mound on Wednesday looking to finish off the Twins and earn a sweep going into a big series with the Phillies.

We've been looking for a big game from the Atlanta Braves' offense and they delivered on Monday night with 10-6 win over the Minnesota Twins. Whit Merrifield and Matt Olson each had huge games with Olson driving in 5 runs and Merrifield racking up 5 hits. The Braves have always been a team built on great starting pitching, but just how great has it been over the last 35 years?

The Atlanta Braves were able to finally solve the Washington Nationals and pick up their fourth straight series win. It was not the prettiest weekend offensively, but the pitching continues to dominate and give this team a chance to win every day. We’ll take a look around the minor league level as those seasons start to come to an end.

It did not take long for the Atlanta Braves to experience an all-too-familiar feeling. Michael Harris II was forced out Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Washington Nationals, though the Braves believe they may have dodged yet another injury bullet.

The Atlanta Braves got more good pitching and just enough timely hitting to top the Washington Nationals by a 4-2 score on Saturday at Truist Park.

The drama from last year’s postseason series between the Atlanta Braves and Philadelphia Phillies seems to have carried over to this year – should it have? Other questions are about the best lineup going forward, is Jason Heyward an upgrade over Adam Duvall, and which Braves players acquired this year could stick around in 2025. After a big series win over the Phillies, can the Braves keep the momentum going at home against the Washington Nationals?
