Michael Cunningham: Braves need to restock farm system depleted by big league success

ATLANTA — The expert consensus is that the Braves have the worst farm system among major league teams. That would be a problem if they also had a bad major-league team. The Braves have been a great major league team over multiple years, with prospects either directly filling needs or…

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. That’s with lackluster production from the reigning NL Rookie of the Year and All-Star third baseman. The Braves are second in runs allowed. That’s despite their ace pitcher being out…

Mark Bradley: The Braves are on another great run. We can’t yet know how great.

They’ve been here before, and so have we. From the worst-to-first 1991 though 2005, the Braves finished first in the division over 14 consecutive completed seasons, which remains – and might forever remain – a record. Those Braves reached the World Series five times. They won it once.

Michael Cunningham: Braves are good again, but their hole at shortstop is worrisome

ATLANTA — The Braves will make the playoffs with Vaughn Grissom or Orlando Arcia at shortstop and Eddie Rosario in left field. They are so good in so many other areas that below-average production at those positions won’t prevent them from at least securing one of three National League wild…

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…
