Per MLBTR: "The Braves have designated infielder Chase d’Arnaud for assignment, according to David O’Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution (via Twitter). Atlanta has summoned outfielder Lane Adams from Triple-A to take the roster spot." If someone else shared this in another thread, just...

MLBTR and others noted that Hak-Ju Lee opted out of his minor league deal with the Giants. I mentioned this in a thread because he's hitting better this year after having numerous injuries set him back in recent years. He is a very good defensive shortstop with plus range and a plus arm...

According to Bob Nightengale he's the "heavy favorite" to manage the Atlanta Braves in 2017: @BNightengale While the debate rages in Atlanta whether #Braves should fire Fredi Gonzalez, Buddy Black is the heavy favorite to be their manager in 2017. @BNightengale Bud Black, who was nearly...

Jordan Schafer is pitching for the Dodgers AA affiliate now and actually doing great through six games. If he keeps it up he'll probably make MLB again as a LHP reliever. He might prove a pretty good one too. Check out his stats so far: http://m.mlb.com/player/457788/jordan-schafer He...

Marksberry goes down to make room for Blair. Fredi broke the news in his press conference, not that it wasn't obvious to most by now. @Braves 12m12 minutes ago RHP Aaron Blair (@A_Blair19) will make his Major League debut for the Braves on Sunday vs. Mets. LHP Matt Marksberry optioned to...

I noted today that Bowman had an article "Braves mulling over options at shortstop" where he states: "Erick Aybar faces the tough challenge of satisfying eyes that have been treated to Andrelton Simmons' defensive excellence over the past few years. But Aybar's struggle to consistently make...

He was removed from the game and left as if saying goodbyes. I will miss him. Peterson said of Gomes recently: "I would go on record saying there’s probably not a better teammate out there than Jonny Gomes." Peterson also credits Gomes more than anyone for helping him this year. The Royals...

@mlbbowman 13m13 minutes ago The #Braves haven't made an official decision about Freeman, but it sounds like there's a strong possibility he'll be placed on the DL. @mlbbowman 12m12 minutes ago If Freeman is indeed placed on the DL, Joey Terdoslavich would fill his roster spot.

@mlbbowman · 4m 4 minutes ago The #Braves have signed right-handed reliever Nick Masset. Cody Martin was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett to make room for Masset @DOBrienAJC #Braves made room on 40-man for Massett by DFA'd right-hander John Cornely

@mlbbowman · 9m 9 minutes ago Gosselin will udndergo thumb surgery on Wednesday. Out 6-8 weeks. Adonis Garcia will be promoted from Gwinnett. Sorry to hear Gosselin is out a while to injury. But I am happy to hear Garcia coming up here.

@ Braves Roster move: # Braves have recalled RHP Brandon Cunniff from @ GwinnettBraves and have designated LHP Donnie Veal for assignment.

@Braves Roster move: #Braves purchase the contract of INF Pedro Ciriaco (#13) from @GwinnettBraves and option LHP Ian Thomas to Gwinnett. My take: They obviously picked him because he'd made the team out of ST, then had to be sent down after the Kimbrel/Upton trade.

I wasn't big on signing Jonny Gomes, though I did want him as a bench piece in the past. But I am starting this thread to say I appreciate what he brings to the team. He seemed very quick and ready to fight after Simmons got hit last night. That impressed me and I am just sorry we have a manager...

@mlbbowman To help promote trust, a motivational speaker broke a cement block on Fredi G.'s chest (Video included) #Braves http://m.braves.mlb.com/news/article/112744918 My response: Fredi: Hey boys, do you trust me? Well, I'm going to have this motivational speaker break a cement block on...

We recently lost Simmons to TJS as y'all know. So I had figured that meant that minor league signings Veras and Kohn both had a great shot to make the team. But now I am not so sure that both do because of reports that Arodys Vizcaino is "out of options" according to a couple sources online...

I have been thinking Chris Young might best fit with us if he'll take a minor league deal. I say that because of the questions surrounding Wandy's health and Stults recent track record (esp. outside of his former home park). Plus I don't believe Folty nor Man-Ban are likely to prove ready to...
