The boys are back at it as it is prospect list season. The TC preseason Braves prospect list is finalized and is in the "writing the guys up" stage. However, Matt, Garrett, and Eric took a break from writing the list to give a bit of a preview as to what the list-making process has been like after this weird, weird year as well as some of the harder/more interesting decisions we had to make when making our rankings. The list starts rolling out Monday with a bit of a taste in the form of the honorable mentions coming out Sunday...we hope you like them or, at the very least, don't stone us for them. Enjoy!

Road to Atlanta - Episode 28 - Recapping the 2020 Braves Draft and being mad at Rob Manfred Jun 16, 2020

In this episode of Road to Atlanta, Matt and Eric start off by voicing our deep displeasure with the state of the negotiations regarding the fate of the 2020 baseball season. Rob Manfred is essentially trying to extort legal guarantees that no sane human would agree to under normal circumstances and, well, we don't like it. We also miss baseball. After those rants, we turn our attention to the 2020 Draft which wrapped up last week and we break down each of the new Braves including Jared Shuster, Jesse Franklin, Spencer Strider, Bryce Elder, as well as the undrafted free agents the Braves have signed so far. It was fun to talk about actual baseball things and less fun to talk about the exceedingly rich trying to get exceedingly richer. Enjoy!

In this episode of Road to Atlanta, Matt and Eric turn their attentions away from the current state of the Braves' minor league system and towards the upcoming MLB Draft. This draft is going to be a weird one with drastic reduction in the number of rounds and is poised to be an outlier in baseball history, so the goings-on are going to be fascinating to see unfold. We go over some of the changes to the draft format, talk about the potential consequences of those changes, and share our thoughts on who the Braves could be taking both in the first round as well as in later rounds...or at least who we would like to see picked.

We are BACK, welcome to the return of the Road To Atlanta podcast. We had to go a man down with Gaurav out this week, but our fearless host Eric Cole rallied the troops and Matt and Garrett joined him for a discussion of the minor leagues. With the recent Rule 5 draft there was plenty of things to talk about, with 40 man roster additions and a couple of minor league selections going down for the Braves. We also said goodbye to a few long time Braves prospects who may be leaving us in free agency and where they may find themselves in the coming season. The biggest news in the minor league circuit was the proposed contraction of 42 minor league teams, and we had a lengthy discussion about our concerns, minor league salaries, and the impact this could have on minor leagues players for the future.
