Braves release utility man turned reliever Charlie Culberson

Braves release utility man turned reliever Charlie Culberson

Photo by Kevin D. Liles/Atlanta Braves/ Culberson will look to catch on with another team. Charlie Culberson, a fan-favorite of the Braves who was attempting to defy the odds and become a reliever after years of work as a utility man, was released by the club on Thursday. Culberson, 35 next month, signed a minor league deal with Atlanta and made three appearances in spring training games. He worked a scoreless inning in his debut on February 29, but he surrendered six runs across his next two appearances on March 9 and 17. While it would have been quite the story for...

2024 Season Preview: New York Mets

2024 Season Preview: New York Mets

Photo by Al Bello/ Things can’t get worse after a disastrous 2023 season... right? Everything went wrong for the Mets in 2023. Really, it’s been a downward spiral since the club lost a 10.5 game divisional lead to the Braves in the summer months of 2022 and then quickly bowed out in the Wild Card round against the Padres. A real shame. Objectively speaking, there was no reason for the Mets to lose as many games as they did last year. After winning 101 in 2022, owner Steve Cohen continued to shovel money at his roster with the hopes of taking down the Braves and...

Ronald Acuña Jr. takes batting practice, works out with teammates on Thursday

Photo by Kevin C. Cox/ Acuña continues to progress after getting a clean bill of health in his right knee. Ronald Acuña Jr. has missed some time this spring after feeling discomfort in the meniscus of his right knee, but he appears to be trending in the right direction. On Thursday, Acuña returned to take batting practice and workout on the field with his teammates, an encouraging sign with three weeks to go until opening day. Acuña is taking BP on the field and working out with the other guys not going to Fort Myers today. He won't be back in the lineup...

Braves make more cuts, send five players to minor league camp

Braves make more cuts, send five players to minor league camp

Jonathan Dyer-USA TODAY Sports Two pitchers and three utility infielders have been shown the proverbial door. Opening Day is a little more than three weeks away for the Atlanta Braves. As the exhibition games continue and players ramp up their preparations for the grind of 162, the club announced five players have been reassigned to minor league camp as of Tuesday afternoon: RHP Grant Holmes, RHP Jake Walsh, INF Phillip Evans, INF Leury García and INF Alejo López. The #Braves today reassigned RHP Grant Holmes, RHP Jake Walsh, INF Phillip Evans, INF Leury García and...

Braves option five to minor league camp on Monday

Braves option five to minor league camp on Monday

Dale Zanine-USA TODAY Sports Ian Anderson, Dylan Dodd, Daysbel Hernández, Darius Vines and Allan Winans head to minor league camp. The Braves trimmed five members from big league camp on Monday evening, assigning RHP Ian Anderson, LHP Dylan Dodd, RHP Daysbel Hernández, RHP Darius Vines and RHP Allan Winans to Triple-A Gwinnett. Atlanta now has 53 players in camp. None of the moves come as a great surprise with 3.5 weeks left in the spring, although Hernández seemingly had an outside chance of making the opening day bullpen if a few things broke his way. Daysbel will...

2024 Season Preview: St. Louis Cardinals

2024 Season Preview: St. Louis Cardinals

Kevin Jairaj-USA TODAY Sports Is a rotation overhaul enough to get St. Louis back to the top of the NL Central? To put it lightly, 2023 was a disaster for the St. Louis Cardinals. The club lost 90+ games for the first time in more than three decades (1990) and finished dead last in the NL Central. The only team in the National League with fewer wins than St. Louis? The Colorado Rockies. For a team that is the model of consistency, it was a weird, aberrant, and plain-no-fun season. Hell, it was the first time the Cardinals finished under .500 since 2007, and their worst...
