    With Opt-Outs Coming This Weekend, Can the Braves Find a BAT To Upgrade DH? | Atlanta Braves Podcast

    Lindsay Crosby breaks down the Braves’ upcoming veteran opt-out decisions and what Atlanta might do to patch roster holes after the Jurickson Profar suspension. He explains how minor-league opt-outs work (five days before Opening Day, written notice, 48-hour team decision, no more retention bonus) and evaluates the Braves’ three opt-out candidates: Dominic Smith as a righty-mashing DH option, Kyle Farmer as a lefty specialist who can cover multiple infield spots while the team waits on Ha-Seong Kim, and pitcher Martín Pérez, who may be squeezed out by bullpen/long-man competition that includes Didier Fuentes and José Suarez. Crosby also surveys potential external adds who could become available via opt-outs, including Michael Conforto, Austin Slater, Dylan Moore, and Mike Tauchman, plus notes on a few pitchers and roster context around the league.

    Didier Fuentes Has Thrown a NO-HITTER Across Spring Training; 5th Starter? | Atlanta Braves Podcast

    Host Lindsay Crosby recaps Didier Fuentes’ dominant spring training run, noting he’s faced 27 batters, retired 26, and allowed no hits across nine innings while featuring a 97–99 mph four-seamer, a new harder gyro slider, and a developing splitter/changeup, prompting a case for including him on the Opening Day roster in 2026. The episode also breaks down the Braves’ Spring Breakout roster strategy, highlighting an infield loaded with shortstops and a toolsy outfield, plus pitching selections and a pattern from prior years about who might debut later. Finally, Crosby details BravesVision updates: the announced broadcast team, planned pregame/postgame shows, Braves TV streaming pricing and bundle options with MLB.TV, and the unresolved status of cable carriage deals and related fees.

    Is It Weird That Spencer Strider Keeps Pitching on Backfields? | Atlanta Braves Podcast

    Lindsay Crosby discusses concerns around Spencer Strider staying back in North Port instead of traveling and whether his spring workload and radar-gun visibility are cause for worry, noting his gradual fastball velocity gains across three outings and improved induced vertical break compared with 2024. Crosby argues health and pitch characteristics matter as much as raw velocity, ties Strider’s 2024 struggles to a hamstring issue, and references FanDuel’s 168.5 strikeout line as largely dependent on innings. He then previews the World Baseball Classic final (Venezuela vs. USA), addresses Ronald Acuña Jr.’s comments about representing Venezuela, and highlights encouraging signs in Acuña’s sprint speed and baserunning, plus Ozzie Albies’ power and Ha-Seong Kim’s rehab progress. Finally, Crosby examines the Braves’ final bench spot, explaining why Jorge Mateo may not be a lock given his spring struggles and alternative options like Brett Wisely, Kyle Farmer, and Eli White.

    Are the Atlanta Braves Really One of the WORST Pitching Development Orgs? | Atlanta Braves Podcast

    A recent survey called Atlanta's pitching development and acquisition one of the worst in all of baseball. Is that overstating things, or is that where they belong?

    Braves Spring Training: Harris, Yaz Shine, But Ritchie Has More Work To Do | Atlanta Braves Podcast

    Lindsay Crosby explains that spring training records and stats matter less than player process, then reviews who has impressed or struggled for the Braves. Michael Harris is showing intentional plate-discipline gains by taking pitches off the plate and drawing walks, though much of his competition has been around Double-A level. Mike Yastrzemski’s huge spring numbers are noted, but Crosby is most encouraged by his at-bat quality versus lefties, suggesting he may be less vulnerable to lefty relievers. On the pitching side, Hayden Harris has improved his fastball effectiveness, adding velocity and generating swinging strikes after getting none in his MLB sample last year, though questions remain about major-league viability. Crosby urges caution with JR Ritchie despite decent results because he hasn’t missed many bats against stronger lineups. He also notes struggles from Luke Williams, watches John Gil’s athleticism after bulking up, and wants better offensive process from catcher Jonah Heim to avoid overworking Drake Baldwin.

    Atlanta Starter Joey Wentz Tears ACL, Out for Season; Do Braves Respond? | Atlanta Braves Podcast

    Host Lindsay Crosby reports that Braves pitcher Joey Wentz suffered a torn ACL after a collision covering first base in a spring game and will miss the entire season, marking another major blow in a run of Atlanta starting-pitcher injuries dating back to last year. Crosby notes Wentz was projected for meaningful innings and had made offseason adjustments, making the loss significant for both performance and clubhouse impact. He discusses why signing Lucas Giolito isn’t a simple fix, citing underlying metrics that suggest regression and the reality that Giolito wouldn’t be ready for Opening Day, while other free-agent options are limited. Crosby then breaks down internal replacements, highlighting José Suarez, non-roster invitee Martín Pérez, and prospect JR Ritchie, emphasizing roster/option considerations and the need to balance short-term coverage with long-term development.
