Jair Camargo, 27, is officially a free agent after leaving the Braves organization this week, and he's now free to sign with any MLB team. A quiet exit after Atlanta's NLDS loss to the Dodgers. 📤

MLBTR's free-agent predictions tie the Braves to Sonny Gray again, but the link looks like Charlie Brown and the football. Gray's Nashville-area family ties fuel the rumor, yet he has gone elsewhere every time he's hit the market. 🏈
Case for keeping Ronald Acuña Jr.: two $17M options (2027 already exercised) look like a bargain. Over the past two seasons he posted a .860 OPS and 138 OPS+, topping free-agent outfielders Arozarena and Suzuki, and he's three years younger. 💰
Braves offseason idea: pour a $50 million plan into the lineup, not the rotation. The offense ranked 26th in runs from June 1 on and scored just eight in four playoff games, so a right-handed bat and better on-base skills are the targets. 🔧
Braves reportedly plan to bring back their entire coaching staff, questions on baserunning and offense aside. Meanwhile, Tate Southisene and Briggs McKenzie made the Arizona Fall League Fall Stars team, with Southisene eyed as a possible top-50 prospect. ⭐
Austin Wynns' 2026 review: a two-week June catcher patch while Baldwin and Murphy were hurt. He went 1-for-14 over six games and threw out no runners. At 35, his MLB road may be ending, and a Braves return looks unlikely. 🩹
It’s a single-issue negotiation. MLB wants a cap, the players reject a cap. All of the details MLB has shared about its vision -- a number of which are good! -- are tied to the MLBPA accepting a cap system. Publicly, at least, the league has not put forth any vision of a non-capped league. The players, and again I’ll say this is based on what we know, appear to have no intention of accepting a payroll cap. Until one side or the other concedes on this point, there is nowhere for negotiations...
MLBTR's free agent predictions reportedly have all three votes sending Mauricio Dubon back to Atlanta, a notable nod with Ha-Seong Kim also leaving and no shortstop in sight. It's a fit-based projection, not sourced negotiation intel. 🧩
Five Braves depth pieces elected free agency as the market opened: catchers Jair Camargo and Sandy León, RHP Anderson Pilar, CF DaShawn Keirsey Jr. and RF José Azócar. Catchers filled in during Baldwin and Murphy injuries. Return plans unknown.
Bleacher Report's predictions have Sonny Gray landing in Atlanta (2 years, $50M), while Raisel Iglesias would sign with Detroit and Tyler Mahle with Houston. The headline's "two marquee" pickups is generous; only one Braves addition is projected. 🧾
Catcher Eric Haase elected free agency from the Braves organization on Nov. 2. He signed a minor league deal on Sept. 1 and never appeared in an MLB game for Atlanta. Quiet exit for a nine-year veteran. 📋
Baseball America's Braves top 10 is out, led by Eric Hartman (24 HR, 38 SB in 94 games at High-A Rome), then Cam Caminiti and Tate Southisene. Four 2026 draftees also made the list. 🌱
Braves are reportedly linked to Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki in free agency, per FOX Sports. He'd be a defensive alternative to Ronald Acuña Jr. and could ease Acuña into more DH time, adding a veteran bat after the Dodgers playoff exit. 🔍
Former Braves outfielder Jarred Kelenic elected free agency on Nov. 2 after a Yankees minor-league stint with no MLB games. He hit .219 in 36 games with the Rangers and White Sox in 2026. His 15-homer 2024 in Atlanta remains his career high. 📉
Tate Southisene and Briggs McKenzie will represent the National League in Sunday's AFL Fall Stars Game. Southisene, the Braves' No. 3 prospect, is hitting .341/.482/.432 with five steals in 13 games. McKenzie fired 4 scoreless innings with 6 K. 🔥
Walt Weiss is keeping the band together: the Braves will reportedly retain their entire coaching staff after a first-year NL East title and NLDS exit. Hitting coach Tim Hyers, bench coach Tony Mansolino and pitching coach Jeremy Hefner all return. 🔒
BravesVision passed its first-year test. Atlanta Braves Holdings expects the in-house network to match the old deal's annualized revenue and, for the first time, replicate its profitability. It led MLB in in-market DTC subscriptions, even if the 2026 financials look rougher. 📺
Continuity it is: the Braves are bringing back their entire coaching staff for 2027, per The Athletic. Hitting coach Tim Hyers, whose lineup scored the eighth-most runs in MLB in 2026, and pitching coach Jeremy Hefner return under Walt Weiss. 🔒
Zach Neto is a hot name on the Angels trade market, and a proposed deal could bring him to Atlanta. The idea: Hurston Waldrep plus prospects Alex Lodise, Owen Murphy and Blake Burkhalter. A pitch, not a deal. 🤔
Braves are bringing back the entire 2026 coaching staff, Tim Hyers included, per The Athletic. His offense ranked 8th in runs but 20th in wRC+ and third-worst in walk rate. Jeremy Hefner stays as pitching coach. Year three for Hyers. 🤞
