Harris Back Issues Threaten All-Star Bid
Harris Back Issues Threaten All-Star Bid episode artwork
Yesterday at 10:30 PM

Michael Harris Jr. is dealing with recurring lower back tightness, missing Friday’s game and leaving early Tuesday—this is the second time this month. Manager Brian Snitker hopes he avoids the injured list, though it’s not ruled out. Harris previously sat out briefly after similar discomfort on June 5 but returned with a game-winning hit. Despite the nagging injury, he’s hitting over .300 with power and remains a top contender for the All-Star Game, currently ranked fourth among outfielders.

Yesterday at 2:53 PM

Ha-Seong Kim’s offensive slump is turning heads—and boos—in Atlanta, with just an .085 batting average and zero extra-base hits in 19 games. The Braves face a tough decision: bench him, trade him, or risk a fake injury to buy time. With Dubón and Mateo ready to step in, the pressure mounts. Meanwhile, the team traded Hunter Stratton for Joey Bart, and Strider heads to the 60-day IL while Acuña remains sidelined.

Yesterday at 2:08 PM

Pirates pull off a late-night trade, sending struggling catcher Joey Bart to Atlanta for reliever Hunter Stratton — a familiar arm hoping to rebound after a rough 2025. Stratton, once a promising Pirate prospect, gets a second chance in Triple-A Indy to revive his career and stabilize a bullpen in dire need. Meanwhile, Endy Rodriguez steps into the catching spotlight, showing promise as Bart’s replacement. This move signals Pittsburgh’s clear focus: fix the bullpen, not the backstop.

Braves Acquire Joey Bart, Injury Updates

Yesterday at 12:21 PM

Atlanta Braves pull off a late-night trade, acquiring catcher Joey Bart from Pittsburgh in exchange for pitcher Hunter Stratton—sending Sandy León packing for now. Bart, a former Giant with MLB experience and a .240 career average, is recovering from a foot infection but expected to suit up for Atlanta. He’ll join eight catchers on the Braves’ roster this season. Elsewhere, Mike Trout lands on the Angels’ injured list with a hamstring strain, while Adolis Garcia faces season-ending surgery but aims for a 2027 return. MLB also gears up for draft talks with the Players Association, and mock drafts are buzzi...

Yesterday at 9:34 AM

The Braves just pulled off a savvy move, bringing in power-hitting catcher Joey Bart from Pittsburgh in exchange for reliever Hunter Stratton. Bart, a Georgia native and former top draft pick, is returning home to fill the void left by injured star Sean Murphy. After overcoming a foot infection and a rough stint with the Giants, Bart’s been on a rehab tear and could be ready to play soon. Meanwhile, the Pirates are leaning on Endy Rodriguez and Henry Davis behind the plate, while Stratton heads back to Indianapolis — a familiar place for the former draft pick who’s spen...


Gray’s Trade Deadline Move

Yesterday at 9:34 AM

The Red Sox are eyeing a trade deadline move, with Sonny Gray—a standout pitcher with 8-1 record and a full no-trade clause—potentially heading to contenders like the Braves or Cubs. With his contract expiring, Gray could become a free agent, but if a playoff push team offers the right deal, he might be willing to leave Boston. The Braves, especially, could use his veteran arm to fill a gap and chase a deep postseason run.

Yesterday at 4:54 AM

The Braves just pulled off a hometown hero trade, bringing in Joey Bart from Pittsburgh to be their new backup catcher. Once a top draft pick with big hype, Bart’s had a rocky path but showed flashes in rehab games and could be the offensive spark the team needs. To make room, veteran Sandy León is headed out the door. Meanwhile, pitcher Hunter Stratton heads to Pittsburgh to bolster their bullpen. It’s a classic baseball move — fresh starts, new energy, and hoping for a comeback story right here in Atlanta.

Braves Trades That Changed Everything
Braves Trades That Changed Everything episode artwork
Yesterday at 4:31 AM

The Atlanta Braves have rewritten baseball history with bold trades that built dynasties: from snagging Cy Young-caliber Chris Sale for a minor prospect in 2023, to landing future Hall of Famer John Smoltz in 1987, to turning a 1993 deal into a World Series cornerstone with Fred McGriff. Each move—like the 2015 swap for Dansby Swanson and Ender Inciarte—proved transformative, turning underperforming assets into championship fuel. These trades aren’t just wins; they’re legacy-defining moments that reshaped the franchise’s destiny.

Yesterday at 4:28 AM

The Braves just pulled off a savvy trade, bringing in catcher Joey Bart from Pittsburgh in exchange for pitcher Hunter Stratton — effectively parting ways with Sandy León, whose bat has been quiet all season. Bart, a Georgia native who played high school ball in Buford and college at Georgia Tech, offers a much-needed offensive spark behind the plate, hitting over 25% with a solid OPS. With Drake Baldwin likely to handle DH duties, Bart slots in perfectly as a reliable backup. Stratton, who only pitched one game for Atlanta this year, heads back to Pittsburgh — where he’s been pitchin...

Pirates pull off a savvy trade, sending injured catcher Joey Bart to the Braves in exchange for reliever Hunter Stratton—once drafted by Pittsburgh in 2017 and recently DFA’d by Atlanta. Stratton, who pitched for the Pirates from 2023-2025 before being traded last year, heads back to Triple-A Indianapolis. Bart, sidelined since May with a foot infection, had just 21 games with Pittsburgh but showed power with 2 homers and 6 RBIs. A classic roster shuffle as teams juggle talent to stay competitive.

Braves Trade Target CJ Abrams

Last Thursday at 10:23 PM

The Braves are in a slump, losing six of seven games and watching their NL East lead evaporate as injuries pile up. To stay competitive, they’re eyeing a bold move: trading for CJ Abrams, Washington’s breakout star whose speed and power could instantly revive their offense. Abrams is crushing it this season, nearing career highs in homers and RBIs, and pairing him with Acuña, Olson, and Albies could make Atlanta the second-best team in baseball — even enough to challenge the Dodgers in October. But the price tag is steep: the Nationals want two top prospects and a third...

Giants’ playoff push hit a weather delay as Thursday’s game vs. the Braves was scrapped—forcing a rescheduled matchup in Atlanta on Aug. 31 and stretching their grind to 23 straight games. No rotation changes, but Landen Roupp, Logan Webb, and Trevor McDonald will carry the load through a brutal stretch.

With Molina called up and the trade deadline looming, GM Anthopoulos is ready to act. Freddy Peralta, a proven shutout pitcher on his last contract year, could be the perfect fix—adding stability and maybe even a long-term extension to anchor a suddenly shaky staff.

The Braves are in freefall, surrendering homers at an alarming rate—13 in their last seven games, shattering their usual seven-homer pace. Five of those games saw opponents blast at least two homers, a troubling trend last seen back in July. Pitching’s cratering, offense’s sputtering, and bad luck stacking up—this isn’t just a slump, it’s a crisis. If they don’t snap out of it fast, the season could spiral.
