The Braves Thread

Didn’t realize how consistently solid Cease has been while also a little scared that he will fall off at any moment

Dylan Cease will be a Brave soon (speaking this into existence).

Nothing will top beating Alabama (so far) but this is my second favorite Vol moment ever

Looks like they could shop Michael King as well. Definitely be interested in him

27. Atlanta Braves ($133 million)​

Last year: 28th, $87 million

Top 100 prospects: 2

The Braves have done a nice job adding to their system status in the past year, with RHP Spencer Schwellenbach a notable but lone graduate from the top of last year's list. Atlanta has now signed top-of-the-market prospects in consecutive international signing classes and had multiple midtier prospects take leaps forward last season. I was the high guy last winter on C Drake Baldwin and SS Nacho Alvarez Jr., and they both rewarded my belief. RHP Owen Murphy was in the middle of a top 100-looking breakout season before elbow surgery shelved him for the year. LHP Cam Caminiti, a 2024 first-rounder, and post-surgery former first-rounder RHP J.R. Ritchie will try to make up for Murphy's loss. RHP Garrett Baumann and RHP Lucas Braun took big steps forward in 2024, and CF Luis Guanipa is one of the more intriguing low minors position players I'll be monitoring early in 2025.

2024 wasn't even Tony V's best team, IMO. Absolutely insane

I still love going to the 2024 team's Wiki page and looking at this. They won everything there was to win:
