After Quiet Trade Deadline, Atlanta Braves Prepare to Play Out The String

The Atlanta Braves stood idly by at the Trade Deadline. Though they had some chips, the team opted to hold and prepare instead to close out 2025 and reassess this winter. Grant McAuley discusses the lack of movement for Atlanta at the deadline, the onus it places on the winter, and a host of other topics from the week that was – including injuries suffered by Ronald Acuña Jr. and Austin Riley, a shining performance from a top pitching prospect pressed into action, some roster shuffling to fortify the rotation and more. You’ll hear the comments of Braves GM and President of Baseball Operations Alex Anthopoulos, who shared his thoughts on the deadline with the media on Thursday. Hammer Territory’s Brad Rowland joins the show to break down the deadline fallout in Atlanta, while Scott Braun of Foul Territory helps size up one of the busiest trade weeks in MLB history.
