Road to Atlanta is our weekly podcast where we discuss all things minor leagues and prospects for our beloved Atlanta Braves. We have relaunched the podcast and it can be found in the same stream with the Talking Chop podcast, so if you subscribe to it...you have easy access to R2A as well. Episodes will go live (most of the time) every Thursday evening and will cover a wide range of topics including top performances from the previous week, deep dives into specific prospects or topics, and lots of sweet guests.
In this week’s episode of Road to Atlanta, we first do a quick recap of what we have seen in the minor leagues over the last couple of weeks including some newsworthy promotions, injuries, and top performances including Austin Riley smashing baseballs into orbit, a dark horse pitching prospect playing out of his mind, and more.
After that, we were joined by Baseball America’s Ben Badler to update us on the state of the Braves and the international free agent market. We get a lot of questions about the players the Braves lost, what the Braves are currently doing to rebuild their international operations, etc. Ben covers all of that in more in a deep dive of an interview that you won’t want to miss.
While you are at it, please make sure to subscribe to Baseball America. We love that whole team of folks over there and it is an incredible value for the service and information they provide. Supporting folks like them is important to us, you should do the same.
