Atlanta Braves 3 Up, 3 Down: Drake Baldwin Showing Some Rust Coming Back Jun 24, 2026

Show notes

Atlanta Braves face critical questions as Drake Baldwin’s struggles return after injury. Is the catching situation becoming the team’s biggest concern just as the season heats up?

Jake Mastroianni breaks down which Braves are trending up—spotlighting Matt Olson’s power surge and Ozzie Albies’ relentless bat—and which are falling behind, including Baldwin’s alarming strikeout rate and Grant Holmes’ ongoing rotation woes. The analysis covers bullpen bright spots like James Karinchak, Dominic Smith’s fading magic, and the ripple effects of Sean Murphy’s extended absence. With left-handed pitching proving troublesome and the trade deadline looming, could Atlanta target new bats or rotation arms to stay in the NL East race?

Get the latest on Braves’ lineup shakeups, pitching challenges, and what must change before the next Padres matchup.

Atlanta Braves 2026 Trade Deadline Preview: Time for AA to Step Up Jun 23, 2026

Show notes

Atlanta Braves face crucial decisions as the MLB trade deadline approaches—will Alex Anthopoulos go all-in to bolster the roster for a postseason run? The conversation focused on Atlanta’s top priorities, including landing a top-of-the-rotation arm to pair with Chris Sale, adding a power bat to boost the lineup around Ronald Acuña Jr. and Matt Olson, and shoring up the bullpen with a dominant lefty reliever.

One concept discussed was the team’s financial flexibility and deepened prospect pool, giving the Braves the resources to target elite talent. The discussion explored how injuries to key pitchers like Spencer Strider and the health of Chris Sale factor into trade urgency. Several points were raised, including potential sellers like the Giants, Rockies, and Tigers, as well as which roles—such as Kim’s roster spot—are most vulnerable. Will Anthopoulos seize this narrowing championship window and make a game-changing move?
