The Braves will hit this offseason at a reasonably-sized crossroads. I think that's pretty clear, clear enough that I will almost certainly have a post early in the offseason where the title is some variation of, "The Braves are now at a crossroads." There is the potential to say a lot about where the Braves go from here, what they do next, and how they enter their next franchise phase

"It's been bothering him the last three years," Anthopoulos said. "He said he would just grind through it and play through it and it would come and go. But in talking to Dr. Burke today, he was stunned he'd been playing the last three years with a significant tear."... "He'd been getting some treatment on his hip, swore to us he was fine," Anthopoulos said.

1928 - The Braves record 11 hits and three walks, but still can't push across a run in a 4-0 loss in Philadelphia. They however, will come from behind in the night cap and rally in the 11th for a 4-3 win to split the doubleheader. 1996 - John Smoltz strikes out 13 and picks up his 21st win of the season as the Braves beat the Mets 6-1. Jermaine Dye had a three-run home run for Atlanta.

Well, the Braves didn't do much to upend the Cubs' playoff chances, rolling over for a standard series loss earlier this week. This weekend, though, they really have a chance to create some foul-smelling soup as far as the AL West goes. The Braves are set to play the Mariners this weekend. The Mariners are four back of the Astros in the AL West, but just 1.5 games ahead of the Rangers for the final Wild Card spot.

The Braves are currently in the top 3 for lottery odds in 2026, with roughly 50 games left and a solid position for top draft picks.

The Braves have acquired right-hander Erick Fedde in a trade with the Cardinals, with an undisclosed amount of money headed to Atlanta to cover part of his salary.

The Braves aim for a series win, relying primarily on Joey Wentz for a solid start while planning to utilize their bullpen extensively.

The Braves acquired righty Dane Dunning from the Texas Rangers in exchange for RHP José Ruiz and cash considerations, aiming for more relief depth in the bullpen.

Atlanta traded reliever Michael Petersen to the Marlins for cash considerations. Petersen had a 4.05 ERA across 6 2/3 innings this season and struck out five batters.
