Braves
The Braves had quite a day today. It started with a win against the Cardinals that was headlined by a 5 run first, and a Freddie Freeman home run. The Braves got more good news with a Marlins win against the first place Mets. This win was headlined by Alex Jackson, the former Brave’s first career home run that led them to a 4-5 win. Unfortunately the Phillies continued taking advantage of a awful nationals team winning by one run. This leaves the Braves 2.5 back of the Mets along with 1 back of the Phillies heading into Wednesday’s 8:00 game on ESPN versus the Cardinals. This has the one of the Braves’s better pitchers as of late in Drew Smyly pitching against JA Happ in his Cardinals debut.
Hawks
For the Hawks it was the second day of free agency, and even though the media won’t make it seem like the Hawks made a move, they still had quite a day. The Hawks made there first offical offer at John Collins, which was 5 years 125 million. The Hawks had another move which was a negative one, even though they didn’t actually make one. The Timberwolves today agreed to a two-way deal with Nathan Knight. Even though Nathan Knight wasn’t a rotational piece, he showed a lot of potential. He was a player the Hawks would like to retain but couldn’t quite find a way. Next for the Hawks is the start of Summer League, and the rest of free agency.
Falcons
Today was a great day in Atlanta Falcons training camp. Kyle Pitts made an insanely good catch, and the Falcons got great news about Calvin Ridley. Ridley told the media about how much better his foot is, and how he is ready for next season. They also got the news of John Atkins coming off the COVID list. Although Atkins is not the best player, it is still good to get that much deeper. Still for now it is preparing for the Friday August 13th game against the Titans.
Atlanta United
Atlanta United had a much better day than yesterday. Atlanta United added Gremio winger Ferreira. Ferreira had 15 goals and 12 assists for the 23 year old. Although, Atlanta United is still trying to find their new head coach, which seems nowhere near happening. For now, Atlanta United is still trying to prepare for the CF Montreal Game at 7:30 on Wednesday.
