@ChoppinBravos Offense currently isn’t the problem

At least Drake Baldwin is back. This team needs Ronnie and another full time bat in LF and they will have the horses.

@MattPowers31 What an incredible draft

And here’s Cole Dorland

Jack Brenner signs w/@Braves for $1.25 million. Ties all-time 7th-rd bonus record, set last year by Matt Fisher w/@Phillies. Slot 202 value = $307,300. Wisconsin HS C, line-drive swing, very athletic, flashes plus run times, solid arm. @OU_baseball recruit. @MLBDraft

@emmitonair Sharpe or Gates

Tony Gonzalez, Rob Gronkowski, or Travis Kelce isn’t available: name a great NFL Tight End.

@slprospects @CarlosACollazo @grantmcauley Yes. Every penny. Honestly if they don’t then something is really wrong!

@JJGriffie @CarlosACollazo @grantmcauley Every penny ? No nickeling and diming these amateur players like their Ozzie Albies

The Braves signed 1st rounder AJ Gracia for $3,997,500. Slot value for the ninth overall pick is $6,675,300. A $2,677,800 under slot deal. baseballamerica.com/players/308438…

@slprospects @CarlosACollazo @grantmcauley Yea you don’t understand how it works. They will spend their full bonus pool.

@CarlosACollazo @grantmcauley So the Braves aren’t signing free agents to save money for stuff like this… Got it lol

@ATL14ESQ @CapitolAvenue Why do you believe Gracia is low ceiling? All that dude’s done is hit. More walks than Ks the last 2 years, .500+ obp last year. He’s legit and I’m not sure why so many think he was a bad pick at 9. I think he’s a top 10 first round talent and the slot savings make it even better

@CapitolAvenue Don't disagree but even though taking the two high floor, low ceiling guys with the first two picks made it possible, still gonna look back a few years from now and wonder aliugd about the first two picks and hope like hel the quartet you mentioned all hit big.

We'll see who signs etc, but if the Braves sign all of McCarthy, Hirschkorn, Dennis, and Grulkowski this is *by far* the best Ronit Shah draft.

@JoeGiannacco @ShortStopBall I haven’t listened yet, but I’d say that’s accurate

@ShortStopBall I’m listening to your July 13th podcast, it feels like the undertone of your commentary suggests that MLB adjusted to the Braves and we didn’t adjust back. Then came the injuries.

@MattPowers31 @gvedak I legitimately think Gracia is a top 10 talent in the draft. All the guy has ever done is dominate. Every season at every level. More walks than Ks last 2 seasons of college. Had a .500+ obp last year. He’s a stud.

Coming within the next 24 hours: breakdowns of Jack Brenner and Ryne Barker and a full recap of everyone the Braves selected in this year’s draft If I had to grade this draft I’m going with an A. They might not have landed a true Top 10 elite talent, but restocked system well

@Josh2mayday It’s a long season.

@JJGriffie @CrosbyBaseball @Freddiesgato How’s that working out champ even when they started to slow down they still won 18 out of 21 series. Braves don’t even have a great rotation yet but they are starting to get healthy.

Great stat we found for last night's episode of MLB Game Night: Don Mattingly has led Philly to the best record in baseball, 26-11, since taking over as manager. In that time, they went from 10.5 games back of Atlanta to...9.5 games back of Atlanta

@AngryITNerd76 @CrosbyBaseball @Freddiesgato 🤷🏻‍♂️ hate being right. But yea. They are a legit contender to win the east.

@JJGriffie @CrosbyBaseball @Freddiesgato no there not.. they ain catchin anyone...

@VanMexicoMan @CrosbyBaseball @Freddiesgato 0 shot huh…

@JJGriffie @CrosbyBaseball @Freddiesgato They might make the playoffs but they have zero shot to win the East. I don’t care if Joe Torre, Whitey Ford, Tommy LaSorda and Tony LaRussa are managing. It’s not happening.

@KevinYoung161 @deanorogers2 @CrosbyBaseball @Freddiesgato I honestly wish I wasn’t right. But here we are… l still think the Braves are the better club, but obviously I was correct: the Phillies are a legit threat

@JJGriffie @deanorogers2 @CrosbyBaseball @Freddiesgato "If they win all 7"..... Philly is 1-5 vs Atlanta. The Braves have lost 2 series all season and neither was a sweep. That ain't happening. 95 wins all but guarantees the division and I'd be shocked to see philly get to 90

With the 112th pick the Braves take Cole Dennis a talented Florida prep RHP to close out Day 1 of the 2026 draft

Carter Beck?

@jase1129 @DWilliamsWJCL22 Catching might be the exception, but drafting for need is obviously not ideal

@DWilliamsWJCL22 We could use another catching prospect.

Well who we taking at 26 now, a pitcher?

If Burrass fell, I would have taken him at 9, but since the As snagged him, I’m perfectly content with Garcia.

@JoeDoyleMiLB I like the pick. Depending on how underslot he goes. Great talent and underslot is nice!

The Atlanta Braves are selecting Virginia outfielder AJ Gracia with the No. 9 pick.

@Harrisishim @leprekhan $$ you’d be betting most of your draft on him

@leprekhan why not lombard??

Like the Gracia pick. Should be way underslot. Exactly how much will determine a lot about how good the pick. Some medical concern, but shoulders are less worrisome with hitters.

The Braves took UVA OF AJ Garcia with their first selection, ninth overall mlb.com/milb/prospects…
