Atlanta Braves Attempting to Make the Most of a Bad Season

The Atlanta Braves may not be able to climb out of the hole they've dug and make a run this season, but there are still boxes to check before the end of September. Grant McAuley delves into what the Braves can focus on over the final 7 weeks of the season. From getting some key players healthy and back on the field, including Chris Sale and Ronald Acuña Jr., to sizing up some young players who could factor into 2026, there are still things for the Braves to key in on. You'll hear from Sale on his impending return and young gun Hurston Waldrep, who has impressed in two recent appearances. This week's special interviews include a visit with Craig Mish of Sports Grid and FanDuel Sports Florida to discuss the surging Miami Marlins and what this season means for a young club that hopes to be on the rise. We'll also revisit a trade that shocked Braves fans in 1990 as Atlanta legend Dale Murphy explains how he ended up Philadelphia some 35 years ago.
