Really impressive two innings for AJSS with 3 K/0 BB. Up to 98, got whiffs on the changeup and slider too. Two bloop hits, nothing hit hard the entire outing.

Smith-Shawver is our only other prospect in their top 100, he's #40. Smith-Shawver has big long-term ceiling. He hasn’t focused on baseball for very long and still reached Atlanta at age 20-21 amid injuries and changes to his repertoire. Once his mechanics click, look out. A two-sport Texas...

Baldwin #11 on the Fangraphs top 100. Baldwin is a stocky, physical catcher with impressive opposite field power and feel to hit. He projects as an above-average regular. Baldwin signed for just south of $650,000 as the Braves’ third rounder in 2022. He slashed .318/.426/.549 throughout his...

Passan just wrote yesterday that they were in on Pivetta, which could allow them to deal Cease.

The roster is built better for a four-man rotation than a six-man rotation.

Winner becomes our most talented option for 7th inning guy out of the pen.

Interesting - where’d he say that?

Lopez is where I include Baldwin with no hesitation.

Have these Twitter rumors ever been right? I guess the one guy supposedly called Sale last year before his month-long Tanner Scott nonsense this year, but other than that?

Somehow missed that but you're right. Seems like things are maybe trending to the bullpen there I guess.

Kiley McDaniel put out his top 200 prospect rankings. Here are the Braves: Drake Baldwin 44 Nacho Alvarez 85 AJ Smith-Shawver 128 Luis Guanipa 140 Owen Murphy 142 Cam Caminiti 164 Pretty stunned to see Guanipa on that list but definitely intriguing. All the tools are there, all the...

One of those three feels pretty important to us. I did hear AA say the other day that there’s still a chance Jimenez comes back at the All Star break, but we need another high leverage righty.

From MLB Trade Rumors: The month of January is almost done, which means pitchers and catchers will be reporting to spring training in a couple of weeks, but there is still plenty of offseason business left to be resolved. Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports that part of the reason things are...

Looks like I hit my limit on free articles there. I had no clue Fangraphs went to a subscriber model, that's a bummer.

Keith Law has Baldwin as his #27 overall prospect: Baldwin is such a good defender behind the plate that he’s almost certainly going to be someone’s everyday catcher, and if his raw power keeps showing up in games as it did after a midseason promotion to Triple A, he’s going to make some...

The pick would be after the fourth round though, so it barely moves the needle.

Bowman said he heard we have $33 million left to spend, which puts us just over the first tax threshold.

Kirby Yates to .... the Dodgers. This is something to watch.

Seems pretty clear that AA has been lying about not trying to get under the tax threshold.

The Minter news would be frustrating if we didn’t land Amos Willingham today.
