Michael Cunningham: At halfway point, Braves are clear class of National League

The Braves have the National League’s best record and run differential. They lead the league in runs scored per game.

Michael Cunningham: Three Braves deserve to start in All-Star Game

ATLANTA — Six Braves players were on the National League’s All-Star team in 2022. Three of them won’t represent the team this year. Dansby Swanson and William Contreras play elsewhere, and injuries have limited lefty Max Fried to five starts. Yet the Braves still could send six players to MLB’s…

Mark Bradley: The star-spangled Braves — good value for great talent

ATLANTA — ESPN ranks eight Braves among MLB’s top 74 players. Ronald Acuna is No. 14, Ozzie Albies No. 74.

Mark Bradley: The Braves haven’t made huge offseason noise, and that’s fine

The easiest prediction ever made: Alex Anthopoulos isn’t done. It’s easy because the Braves’ GM is never done. He made his offseason splash by trading for – and signing to the now-standard long-term deal – catcher Sean Murphy. He held the line on Dansby Swanson, who signed with the Cubs…
