First of all, a big Happy New Year from Battery Power. Here’s to another year of Braves coverage. The big news of the day was that the Braves were linked to Tatsuya Imai in multiple spots. I’ve been pushing Imai a little bit for the Braves in recent weeks because he makes a lot of […]
The Atlanta Braves have added right-handed reliever Ian Hamilton to a non-guaranteed deal. The team announced the transaction earlier this evening. Hamilton has spent the past few seasons working out of the New York Yankees bullpen. Hamilton was drafted by the Chicago White Sox in 2016 and made his MLB debut in 2018. After bouncing […]
The Winter Meetings have (un)officially kicked off, as all of baseball’s top players and celebrities have descended on Orlando, Florida for a week to wrap up off-season business. While we’re all looking forward to fireworks, Alex Anthopoulos is just trying to get a job done, even if that means starting it at the Winter Meetings […]
The Atlanta Braves have been busy figuring out their bullpen situation for next season and perhaps beyond. Earlier today, they made a small deal, acquiring Ryan Rolison from the Rockies in exchange for cash payments. This next deal is a bit bigger, to say the least. Raisel Iglesias is returning to the Braves after the […]
Earlier this year, winter came and went without the Atlanta Braves hosting their annual Braves Fest event. The reasoning at the time was that they were doing some serious renovations to the ballpark to get the venue ready for the upcoming season (and specifically the 2025 MLB All-Star Game festivities).

The BBWAA has officially unveiled the ballot for possible induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2026 and the Atlanta Braves will have a trio of former players on the ballot this time around – although I imagine all eyes will once again be on the one who has now been on this ballot […]
Jon Morosi reports on the GM meetings that Alex Anthopoulos has shared Spencer Schwellenbach’s new pain-free status after ending his season on the IL with a broken pitcher’s elbow. It was a very unusual injury for a pitcher that will have an immediate impact on the throwing arm, but hopefully will not have any long-term […]
Monday will be a big day for Drake Baldwin and the Braves, as the young catcher looks to take home a huge personal prize in the NL Rookie of the Year award and also net the team an additional first-round pick in the 2026 draft. This also has implications later in the offseason, as the […]
The Atlanta Braves have traded backup outfielders to their 40-man roster, with the team announcing that outfielder Michael Siani has been claimed off waivers from the St. Louis Cardinals, while also sharing that outfielder Jake Fraley has been claimed off waivers by the Tampa Bay Rays. The 26-year-old Siani made his debut with the Cincinnati […]
