Kimberly Moore+FollowBraves shake up rotation with new armAtlanta’s front office just made another bold move to bolster their pitching depth, grabbing lefty Ken Waldichuk off waivers. While Waldichuk’s recent seasons have been rocky—he’s coming off Tommy John surgery and hasn’t looked like a solid MLB starter in a while—the Braves are betting on upside. With injuries derailing last year, Atlanta’s clearly not taking chances for 2026. Vidal Brujan’s time with the Braves ends to make room, but with all the new infield talent, his exit isn’t a shock. What do you think: smart depth play or just another long shot? #Sports #Baseball #Braves10Share
Timothy Huff MD+FollowWhy the Braves must stack up on pitchingWatching the Braves scramble for healthy arms last season was a wake-up call—just ask anyone who remembers the Cole Hamels saga. Signing him for $18 million only to get 3.1 innings in return proved how risky it is to rely on prospects or paper-thin depth. Even the Dodgers, with all their resources, never stop adding pitchers. With so many solid free agents still out there, now’s the time for Anthopoulos to make a move. What do you think: Should the Braves go all-in for another starter, or trust the young guns? #Sports #Baseball #Braves10Share
Cassandra Reed+FollowBraves Eye Gallen: Risk or Reward for Atlanta?Braves Country, what do you think about the rumors linking Zac Gallen—the former Clemson ace and D-backs workhorse—to Atlanta? After a rollercoaster 2025 (career-worst ERA, but a strong finish), the front office has a big call to make. Pairing Gallen with Strider and Sale could be a game-changer, but is his late-season rebound enough to justify the price? Is this the move that puts us over the top, or too risky for our championship window? #Sports #Baseball #Braves00Share
Cassandra Reed+FollowWhy Braves fans should rethink prospect hypeWatching a top prospect fizzle out is a tough pill to swallow for Braves fans who remember the buzz around Jordan Schafer. Once touted as Atlanta’s next big thing, Schafer’s career is a reminder that raw talent and hype don’t guarantee MLB success. Between off-field missteps and struggles at the plate, his story shows just how unpredictable player development can be. It’s a reality check for anyone getting excited about the next can’t-miss prospect—baseball is a grind, and not everyone makes it. What do you think: Is prospect hype good for the game, or does it set fans up for disappointment? #Sports #Baseball #Braves00Share
Kimberly Moore+FollowIs Austin Riley’s contract hurting the Braves?Austin Riley was once seen as the cornerstone of the Braves’ future, but now his massive 10-year, $212 million contract is raising eyebrows. After back-to-back seasons derailed by injuries and slow starts, some analysts are calling his deal one of MLB’s potential nightmares by 2028. With Riley still among the team’s highest-paid players, fans are left wondering: will he bounce back and prove the doubters wrong, or will this contract haunt Atlanta for years? What do you think—should the Braves have locked him in for so long, or was it a risk worth taking? #Sports #Baseball #Braves00Share
Tammy Sellers+FollowBraves add speed and defense with KeirseyThe Braves just picked up DaShawn Keirsey on a minor-league deal, and while his bat hasn’t made headlines, his speed and defense could be a game-changer. Last season, Keirsey swiped 10 bases in limited time and brought steady late-inning defense—exactly the kind of under-the-radar value that can swing close games. With Atlanta’s depth, he’ll likely start in Triple-A, but injuries and slumps open doors fast. If Keirsey finds his swing, he could be a surprise contributor. What do you think—can speed and defense alone earn a roster spot in today’s game? #Sports #Baseball #Braves20Share
Andrea Castillo+FollowAtlanta Braves take a chance on Juan OlmosA young pitcher’s journey just took a wild turn—Juan Olmos, once a catcher signed out of Colombia, is now getting a fresh start with the Atlanta Braves after three tough years in the Royals’ rookie system. The Royals tried to reinvent him as a pitcher, but things didn’t click, and he was let go after a rocky season. Still, the Braves see something worth developing. It’s a reminder of how unpredictable baseball careers can be and how one team’s project can become another’s hidden gem. What do you think—can Olmos turn things around in Atlanta? #Sports #Baseball #Braves10Share
Timothy Huff MD+FollowBraves’ final pitching move could shake up 2026Atlanta’s rotation might not be set just yet—there are still some intriguing free-agent arms on the table. Imagine Framber Valdez bringing his postseason edge to Truist Park, or the Braves making a statement by signing division rival Ranger Suarez. Chris Bassitt offers reliable innings, while a Justin Verlander signing would be pure fun (and maybe a little wild). Each choice would send a different message about how hard Atlanta is pushing for another title run. Which pitcher would you want to see in a Braves uniform, and why? Let’s hear your take on who could make the biggest impact! #Sports #Baseball #Braves51Share
terrysharon+FollowBraves’ pitching future rides on JR RitchieThe Braves missing out on Tatsuya Imai means all eyes are now on JR Ritchie to step up as Atlanta’s next big pitching hope. With the team holding off on expensive free agents, Ritchie’s breakout 2025 season and impressive 2.64 ERA have put him in the spotlight for a possible 2026 rotation spot. The pressure is real—if he stays healthy and keeps dominating, he could be the homegrown answer the Braves need. How do you feel about the team betting on a prospect over a proven arm? Is this the right move for Atlanta’s future? #Sports #Baseball #Braves10Share
Tammy Sellers+FollowAustin Riley’s 2026: Make or break for BravesAustin Riley’s next season could define the future of the Braves. After being a powerhouse from 2021-2023, Riley’s big contract now looks risky as injuries and slumps have slowed him down. With the Braves’ offense relying on his bat, another off year could turn his $212 million deal into a headache for Atlanta. The team needs Riley to rediscover his All-Star form and deliver the extra-base hits he’s known for. What do you think: Will Riley bounce back and lead the Braves, or is this contract headed for trouble? #Sports #Baseball #Braves00Share
