"Fortunately, the outlook is pretty positive at the moment, since the Braves have been busy in a good way so far during the offseason. With pitchers and catchers set to report next month (!!!), it's safe to say that this team has been improved - on paper, at least. Sure, the games still have to be played but I'd imagine that everybody here at least feels better about the look of this squad than they did about last year's squad."
"When you've got the reigning NL Rookie of the Year returning at such an important position, it's hard to have to many worries about this particular spot. Drake Baldwin is coming back and assuming he doesn't have to deal with the whole "sophomore slump" thing, he'll likely continue to build upon the strong foundation that he built with his performance last season."
The 2026 Atlanta Braves offseason activity has improved the roster on paper, addressing weaknesses and adding depth ahead of spring training. Pitchers and catchers report next month, and current moves create more certainty compared with the prior season's unresolved "ifs". Drake Baldwin returns as the reigning NL Rookie of the Year and projects to take a larger role at catcher while Sean Murphy recovers from a multi-year hip injury. The team still must perform on the field, but the roster changes increase optimism about competitiveness and stability for the 2026 season.
