Atlanta’s slow start in 2025 hasn’t harmed the front office’s reputation across baseball — at least, not too much. Today’s an off-day for the Atlanta Braves and it’s also one of those rare days where nothing seems to be going on.
Much like 2024, the Braves 2025 campaign is off to a tumultuous start, highlighted by injuries and inconsistent play. Despite a current four-game winning streak, they still sit at 9-13 on the season, already 6.5 games back of the red-hot New York Mets for first place in the NL East.
The Braves welcome back their ace today as Spencer Strider toes the rubber for the first time in 376 days. His presence is much-needed, as the back-end of the rotation leaves a lot to be desired with Reynaldo Lopez potentially out for the remainder of the season.

The Braves weren’t big spenders this offseason. The only free agent signing the club made was a $42 million deal handed to Jurickson Profar, who was popped for PEDs.
It’s easy to point the finger when a team is losing, and at 4-11, there are a lot of places for the finger to be pointed within the Braves organization.
A lot has been made about the Braves lack of spending this offseason. On the surface, it looks as if the club intentionally dodged the luxury tax, giving them very little wiggle room to make moves this offseason.
The Braves are off to a miserable start, losing eight of their first nine games, and things don’t get any easier with the Phillies coming to town, who are already six games ahead of Atlanta in the division.
The Atlanta Braves (0-7) are making one trade after another in the first week of the 2025 MLB season, as they try to counteract their injury and performance concerns.
Amid an 0-6 start, Braves Country is looking for anyone to blame — Brian Snitker, Alex Anthopoulos, and every other facet of the organization. Perhaps nobody deserves it more than the powers that be.
Since becoming the Braves general manager in the winter ahead of the 2018 season, Alex Anthopoulos has established himself as one of the best executives in the game.
The long-term gamble by the Atlanta Braves on young talent is backfiring. An 0-5 start has exposed the risk of locking in players too early, leaving the team vulnerable to injuries, suspensions and sudden declines in performance.
It was a big day for the Atlanta Braves on Monday, which began with Spencer Strider toeing the rubber for the first time since undergoing internal brace surgery last April.
Alex Anthopoulos’ tenure with the Braves has earned him the title of one of the best executives in the game. He’s taken a lot of big swings, both in trades and free agency, and more often than not, what he touches turns to gold.
Prospects Making Waves Catcher Drake Baldwin continues to draw attention as one of the Braves’ most promising young players. His stock has risen significantly, with Fangraphs placing him among their top 100 prospects in baseball.
For a team with so many questions and a lot of key players departing in free agency, the Braves had a very quiet offseason. They did acquire a proven outfielder, inking Jurickson Profar to a three-year deal, but they essentially left their pitching staff untouched, despite losing Max Fried, Charlie Morton, and A.J.
The Braves quiet offseason has been well-documented, with the only notable acquisition being Jurickson Profar. Granted, the Profar signing did fill Atlanta’s biggest hole.

From the tone of Alex Anthopoulos, Brian Snitker, and others throughout the offseason, the feeling is that Spencer Strider could make his return before the end of April.
Braves Spring Training kicks off today, but there are still concerns about Atlanta’s pitching staff. Following the Jurickson Profar signing, which felt like a necessity, fans were in wait-and-see mode, anxious for another Alex Anthopoulos move.
When you look up and down the Braves' current lineup, there are only two areas where you could say they need an upgrade.
Braves general manager Alex Anthopoulos conducted an end-of-season media session with reporters on Friday morning. Most notably, the GM indicated he expected player payroll to increase going into next year.
