Should Ray Kerr and Didier Fuentes Start for the Braves? | Atlanta Braves Podcast
The Braves need rotation innings and will evaluate relievers Ray Kerr and Didier Fuentes as potential starters in spring training, but moving them could weaken a bullpen that may also lose Raisel Iglesias. Lindsay Crosby breaks down what each pitcher’s arsenal, command, and durability must show to succeed beyond one inning, highlighting Kerr’s varied mix and limited post-UCL workload and Fuentes’ upside with a developing changeup and starter-level volume questions. He outlines workable usage models—Fuentes starting with Kerr in a hybrid role, pairing them as a piggyback, or stretching both out and letting spring decide—while stressing Atlanta shouldn’t project both into the Opening Day rotation or use these experiments to avoid adding external pitching.

What You Need to Know About Alfredo Sena—and Why His Braves Deal Is at Risk | Atlanta Braves Podcast
Dominican shortstop Alfredo Sena, widely viewed as the top 2027 international prospect, has a reported $5.8M pre-agreement with Atlanta for the Jan. 15 signing period, but it’s not binding until the window opens and MLB approves it. The episode explains Sena’s tools, why the Braves would devote most of their bonus pool to him, and how CBA negotiations and a proposed international draft could void pre-agreements or delay/cancel the signing period. It also previews possible outcomes, notes the lockout isn’t necessarily the main threat, and discusses how Rule 5 timing could affect Braves 40-man decisions, highlighting candidates like Davis Polo and Cedric de Grandpre.

Why A Pitching Portfolio Makes More Sense Than Signing Tarik Skubal | Atlanta Braves Podcast
Braves Today breaks down why Tarik Skubal uniquely fits Atlanta’s preferred starter profile (Stuff+, whiff rate, strikeout rate) but could cost a projected eight years, $355M, limiting other roster upgrades. Lindsay Crosby reviews alternative pitcher “buckets” and risks—Freddy Peralta, Jack Flaherty, Dustin May, Sonny Gray, Kevin Gausman, and Nick Martinez—then argues the Braves need both top-end ceiling and reliable innings, weighing one superstar signing versus multiple additions to stabilize the rotation behind Chris Sale.

MAILBAG: Should the Braves Move On From Tim Hyers or the Training Staff? | Atlanta Braves Podcast
Lindsay Crosby answers mailbag questions on whether the Braves should move on from hitting coach Tim Hyers and whether similar “new voice” logic applies to the training staff after recent injuries. He weighs player responsibility, lineup construction, and possible replacements like Kevin Long, then uses league-wide injury data to argue Atlanta’s situation is closer to average than it feels. Crosby also explains Spencer Schwellenbach’s elbow surgery (screw stabilization), why his 2027 return timeline is uncertain, and what to watch for in his command. The episode closes with questions on pre-lockout offseason activity, trading prospect Eric Hartman, why knuckleballers have disappeared, and a few personal/fun topics.

Anthopoulogy: Should the Braves Re-Sign Raisel Iglesias? | Atlanta Braves Podcast
On Braves Today, Lindsay Crosby weighs whether Atlanta should re-sign free agent Raisel Iglesias despite already having Robert Suárez. Iglesias was effective in 2026 (2.55 ERA, 34 saves) but showed aging/decline indicators (lower K rate, rising hard-hit and barrel rates, slight velo dip, shoulder IL stint). Crosby argues the Braves aren’t shopping for a closer but late-inning certainty, noting limited internal high-leverage depth and the risk of external replacements.

The Atlanta Braves Have a Chance to Get Creative in Arbitration This Year | Atlanta Braves Podcast
Lindsay Crosby breaks down MLB Trade Rumors’ arbitration projections for the Braves, arguing Dylan Lee is a clear keep around $4.2M despite recurring second-half struggles, especially with Raisel Iglesias headed to free agency. He explains how arbitration “file and trial” works and why hearings happen even over small gaps. Bryce Elder’s projected $4M is worth paying, but he could become a trade chip if Atlanta adds top-rotation help. The episode closes on fringe arbitration decisions: James Karinchak ($1.1M) as a possible non-tender, Joey Wince ($900K) likely to return after a torn ACL, and waiver-claim Michael Grove ($1M) as a low-cost swingman bullpen fit.

The Atlanta Braves May Need to Trade For a Shortstop, But It Likely Won't Be Elly De La Cruz | Atlanta Braves Podcast
Lindsay Crosby breaks down why the Braves must find a shortstop and why trades may be more realistic than free agency. He evaluates targets including Elly De La Cruz (elite but likely unavailable and extremely costly), Zach Neto (more plausible with roster flexibility), Jeremy Peña (one-year rental with defensive/plate discipline concerns), and Gunnar Henderson (two years of control but injury questions). He also weighs expensive veteran options like Corey Seager and Trevor Story, plus a suggestion of a Dansby Swanson reunion, while emphasizing Atlanta will need creativity given a thin shortstop market.

Why haven't the Braves been able to fix Austin Riley? | Atlanta Braves Podcast
Alex Anthopoulos admits the Braves and Austin Riley still can’t “solve” his decline despite full health in 2026. Lindsay Crosby breaks down Riley’s falling production (OPS, K-rate, xwOBA), shows his bat speed/swing length remain elite, and highlights a massive collapse on borderline “shadow” pitches (-39 run value). With adjustments failing to stick, Atlanta must track process metrics in 2027 and add lineup depth—especially a right-handed bat—so the offense can function without banking on an MVP-level rebound.
