Dodgers #1, Braves #17, White Sox dead last. Here's the Braves blurb: 17. Atlanta Last year: No. 6 Atlanta’s passel of trades at the deadline last year didn’t put much of a dent in its system, as the organization didn’t trade anyone from its top 10 and probably just one player who would have...

Offensive issues solved.

Same lineup as yesterday, with Anderson on the bump.

Like everyone else in the known universe, John Sickels ended up at The Athletic and he just posted his top 100 prospects list today. He acknowledges it's largely built around fantasy considerations, but he also says there are some "real baseball" elements to the list as well. Eight Braves on...

Jeff Passan over at Yahoo!?*$& is reporting that a federal grand jury is looking into MLB teams' international dealings. Right now, the focus seems to be on Hector Olivera, and unnamed former Braves official (already speculation this is Coppy) has been subpoenaed.

Minor league deal with a spring training invite. http://mlb.nbcsports.com/2017/12/06/braves-sign-christian-colon/ You know, there was a time the Royals would sign OUR cast-offs.

Per Rosenthal, Andrew Tinnish has withdrawn from the role of VP of amateur and international scouting, citing "family considerations."

Braves announced on Twitter that Hart is leaving. On my phone, so no link.

We all love cursing Liberty Media (**** You Liberty Media!, for example), but it looks like the relationship between Liberty and our beloved Franchise Formerly Known As The Braves is a little more complicated than it looks. Here's a really good piece from Chris Jervis laying out the history of...

I linked BA's list of minor league free agents over on the off-season moves thread, but I figure there might be enough interest to justify a stand-alone thread. There are usually a handful of decent players on this list, and we're in as good as a position as any to trawl the depths for hidden...

Unanimously. No big surprise- it's his third award in as many full seasons. Heyward won his third award, also unanimously.

From my friend Chris Jaffe over on Facebook: 2002 still hurts.

I could be working, but screw that. Let's say you're a GM and you manage to stumble into two genuinely extraordinary defensive outfielders- think peak Andruw and peak Devon White. Whoever the specific names might be, they are two wonderful center fielders, once-every-20-years kind of guys (you...
