Many have mentioned, but no way ATL cuts Profar and wastes $15m (unless the clubhouse issue would be a complete disaster).
2027 Steamer projections are officially out, and here's how the Braves top 10 looks Projections should always be taken with a grain of salt, but it's always fun to get at least a small glimpse into next year

A World Series victory is nothing short of magical for us passionate baseball fans
He's waited decades for this. He's never stopped believing. This is a dream come true. Enjoy this clip. He's everybody's dad tonight. #brewcrew #mlb #milwaukeebrewers

Considering trajectories of Brewers/Dodgers, will be quite challenging for the Braves to get a top 2 seed over the next 2-3 years... None of the 6 WS participants the prev 3 seasons had to play a WC series.
The 2026 World Series champs are far from finished. A combination of young stars, elite pitching and a best-in-class farm system will keep Milwaukee in contention for years to come 🏆 More on the Brewers: buff.ly/Mj93uAk

Insane how many World Series clinchers have occurred for the road team in recent history So glad Joe Buck was @ Fox to call 2021 clincher for the Braves
Watch 50 years' worth of baseball history in 10 minutes 🍿 The final plays from every World Series dating back to 1977 ⬇️

pretty decent gap into how much better MIL is ran vs ATL despite... ATL having a much payroll ATL having drafted in similar position over past 5-6 years ATL having same INT FA capabilities

For an organization that hasn’t made it past Game 4 of an NLDS in 5 years… It’s quite notable.
Freddie Freeman and William Contreras now account for two of the past three World Series MVPs. Who do you have for next year? Max Fried? Dansby Swanson?

I don’t get the complaining about night games. 2:30pm CT has historically been the marquee SEC game for years.
NEW: Lane Kiffin on LSU-Alabama getting the 2:30 p.m. CT slot instead of the night game he expected: "If someone thinks the SEC wants us to win this year after what’s been going on, they must have just been on Mars the last four months. So I guess when I look at it that way, I’m not surprised." on3.com/news/lane-kiffin-tak…

Go back in time Give FF the 6th year Trade for a LF in 2022
Braves fWAR from LF by Year: (MLB Rank) 2026: 0.6 (24th) 2025: -0.4 (26th) 2024: -0.3 (24th) 2023: 1.8 (17th) 2022: 0.4 (27th) 2021: 1.0 (16th) 2020: 0.2 (22nd) 2019: 1.6 (15th) 2018: 2.9 (10th) 2017: -1.6 (30th) 2016: -0.3 (26th) 2015: -1.3 (29th) The last time they ranked better than 10th was 2013 (8th), when Justin Upton led the way with 2.5 fWAR

Braves wRC+ MLB Rank: 2021 1B: 131 wRC (t-4th) 2022 C: 129 wRC+ (1st) and yet during that timeframe, AA's biggest trade packages were used to acquire a 1B after 2021 season.... and a C after 2022 season.... while other needs were not properly addressed.

The Braves have a current reliable starting rotation of... Chris Sale Bryce Elder and Jim Bowden doesn't think they're a fit for basically any of the top FA SP.
Jim Bowden names the Atlanta Braves a "best fit" for four top free agents sportstalkatl.com/jim-bowden…

The Braves had an inexpensive William Contreras going into 2023 (+TDA). He had just produced an .860 OPS and while he wasn’t a great defender, he was improving. Still 4 years of cheap control. They traded him for another catcher…and it’s mostly been a disaster.
William Contreras has made 7 successful ABS challenges behind the dish in the World Series! Oh, and he's also hitting .419 with a 1.141 OPS this Postseason 🤯 (MLB x @TMobile)

These #s are misleading… need to calculate how much of the “mixed use”business occurred on the 81 days the Braves played a home game.
This stat from the Atlanta Braves is wild 👀 In 2025: ⚾ Baseball business → $51M income 🏙️ Mixed-use business → $68M income The real estate+ businesses surrounding the Braves generated 34% MORE operating income than the baseball team itself.

The Milwaukee Brewers led MLB in OBP (.341). The Braves were 28th (.309 OBP). Atlanta needs an offensive revamp, or there’s not much hope for an extended run in 2027. Heck, if there’s any pitching regression, it could be closer to a .500 baseball team “as is”.

Could we see a MIF of Alex Lodise/Tate Southisene in 2028? *similar to how Dansby & Ozzie came up in 2016/2017.

They’re getting tickets for every single person? Doesn’t seem like their allotment + demand from Rays fans would allow it.
Kudos to the Milwaukee Brewers for sending five planes to Tampa Bay, bringing along not only their players and families, but their entire front office staff and scouting and development departments.

Reminds me of 2021 for Atlanta… Just feels like the Brewers have it and everything is going their way. Not sure TB has enough offense to win 4 of the next 5.

I think we’re forced to. Braves can’t afford to cut him and eat $15m.
Do you forgive Profar if he has an AMAZING season next year???

Would you like to DH and play some corner OF for the Atlanta Braves?
The Hanshin Tigers accepted Teruaki Sato's posting request 👀 The 27-year-old slashed .306/.383/.609 with a 196 wRC+ and 39 homers over 143 NPB games this year. Sato hit 163 homers over six years.
