Atlanta braves ticket information.

Few teams have captured the enthusiasm of fans around the nation quite like the Atlanta Braves. America’s oldest professional sports team has a history that spans 3 different cities and almost 150 years, and a legacy that traces the story of baseball itself. Whether you pay a visit to SunTrust Park or pick up tickets to see the Braves on the road, you can find a great way to experience America’s national pastime whenever the team takes the field.

3 Cities’ Worth of History

Founded as the Boston Red Stockings in 1871, the team became a charter franchise of the National League and played in its first official game (which they won). The team gave up their old nickname by the turn of the century, accidentally passing it on to the American League’s Red Sox . While the Boston Braves played strong enough to make the first clean sweep of the World Series in 1914, the next 40 years would get rough.

In 1953, the team made history in a new way when they relocated to Milwaukee, becoming the first franchise to leave the East Coast. The Milwaukee Braves won the World Series in 1957 and never saw a losing season, but a big new stadium and a bigger TV market sold them on the move to Atlanta in 1966.

America’s Team

In Georgia, “the Bravos” found more fame than ever before thanks to Ted Turner and the broadcasting deal with TBS that put their games in living rooms from coast to coast. The whole country was watching when Hank Aaron broke Babe Ruth’s home-run record and when the 1995 Braves became the first team to bring the World Series title home to 3 different cities. Legends like Phil Niekro, Greg Maddux, and Tom Glavine helped to build a phenomenal record for today’s Braves to carry on.

A ticket to a Braves game gives you the chance to experience one of the best things to do in Atlanta, and lets you see how Major League Baseball ’s oldest franchise has kept the game fresh with some of the best play in the sport. Watch the fierce rivalries with the New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies , follow the quest to bring the World Series back to Atlanta, and see for yourself why the Braves are still going strong.

When were the Atlanta Braves founded?

The Braves were founded in 1871 in Boston as a charter member of the National Association of Professional Base Ball Players.

Where do the Atlanta Braves play their home games?

The Braves home ballpark is Truist Park . It opened in 2017 and replaced Turner Field which had been the team's stadium since 1997.

Have the Atlanta Braves won a World Series?

The Braves have won three World Series championships (1914, 1957, and 1995)

Who are the Atlanta Braves biggest rivals?

The Braves have had a fierce rivalry with their division rivals New York Mets dating back to when the two first met in 2962.

3 Braves trade packages for Alex Anthopoulos to replicate 2021 magic replacing Ronald Acuña

T he Atlanta Braves general manager, Alex Anthopoulos, has his plate full with the 2024 season. He has already been dealt the issue of relacing Spencer Strider, the preseason favorite for the NL Cy Young award. Now he's forced to try to replace Ronald Acuña Jr, the preseason favorite for the NL MVP.

But Anthopoulos has done this before . He worked a masterclass of a trade deadline in 2021, following Acuña's last ACL tear, replacing the outfielder in mere weeks with pieces that helped lead the Braves to the 2021 World Series.

Now, with just under two months before the deadline, Alex Anthopoulos will have to work that same magic again. Let's dive deeper into where he could start.

An Angels-Braves trade that sends Taylor Ward to Atlanta

Taylor Ward is likely to be the only player on this list that has the ability to play every day. Ward is having a pretty good 2024, where he's slashing .257/.323/.451, good for an OPS need .800. His power numbers have ticked up a bit from the past few seasons, where he has the potential to slug 25 home runs this year. He also comes with team control, under team control until 2027, raising his value quite a bit.

To acquire him, Atlanta could send a package of three prospects to Los Angeles.

Darius Vines headlines this package. Vines is the textbook definition of not fitting in an organization. He has the talent, but the opportunity to show it just isn't there as Vines waits his turn behind the Braves loaded farm system of pitchers.

Sabin Ceballos is a bat first infielder that has the potential to crack the big leagues in a few years. He's only played 56 professional baseball games to this point, so the outlook on him is blurry. The talent is absolutely there though.

Allan Winans is one of the older prospects in the game, coming in at 28 years old. His ceiling isn't much to call home about, but the Angels could use him to eat up innings as a middle relief guy, at the very least.

Ward to Atlanta makes sense, if the Braves can package the right prospects together to make it happen.

A Marlins-Braves trade to replace Acuna with an outfielder with team control

Bryan De La Cruz is a very similar trade idea to Taylor Ward. De La Cruz comes with an extra year of team control, where he's under team control until 2028. He's also a few years younger than Ward, but Ward is the more proven of the two, making the Marlins outfielder's value a bit lower than Wards.

De La Cruz is currently slashing .248/.304/.412 for the Marlins. His platoon splits are a bit odd, which makes him a difficult player to mock as a platoon outfielder for the Braves. He hits for a better average against lefties but all 10 of his home runs in 2024 have come against righties.

To acquire him, Atlanta would send the aforementioned Darius Vines, who desperately needs a career restart in another organization, the 5-5 switch hitting infielder Geraldo Quintero and MLB-ready outfielder Jesse Franklin.

Quintero won't change the game with his bat, but he can change the game with his on base and base running ability. He has a keen eye and rarely strikes out leading to a ton of walks and a ton of contact. When he reaches base, he's a plus runner and has the ability to steal 40+ bases a year.

Franklin is an MLB ready outfielder that has a ton of raw talent. He's struggling a bit in 2024, but he has good power, good speed and a solid glove. He would be a good addition in the Angels' outfield, whether that be now or down the road a bit.

Bryan De La Cruz would be a good piece for Atlanta to add because they would have him in their outfield rotation for the next few seasons.

A White Sox-Braves trade to send Tommy Pham to Atlanta for a few months

Tommy Pham is the only player on this list that's just a rental. The Braves would get half a season of the hot headed outfielder before they send him off to free agency.

But Pham has been good in 2024 and it could be worth a shot to take a flier on the 36 year old, especially because his asking price likely resides in the bottom half of a team's top-30 prospects.

A one for one deal sending Jesse Franklin V to the White Sox for the aforementioned Pham would likely be enough to get the deal done.

On the season, Pham is slashing .280/.331/.402, which is his highest average since the 2017 season in which he hit over .300. Pham adds the ability to hit for power on occasion and some serious fire in the dugout.

Pham can't replace Acuña by himself, but that wouldn't be what is being asked of him. He likely wouldn't play everyday, rotating in and out based on the matchups presented by the other teams pitcher. Atlanta will likely add a left handed outfielder to platoon with Pham, if this trade is done.

The Braves wouldn't be losing much if they traded Franklin for Pham straight up. It would leave plenty of flexibility in their prospect capital to make more deals alongside this one. Low risk, medium reward type of trade here.

Many Braves fans still out of luck: Comcast-Bally’s dispute ‘at an impasse’

Credit: Miguel Martinez

There appears to be no end in sight in the dispute between Diamond Sports Group and Comcast/Xfinity that has prevented Braves games from airing on the cable service for more than a month.

Bally’s Sports South and Southeast, owned by Diamond Sports Group, were dropped from Comcast after their contract expired on May 1. The move affects a significant portion of the Braves audience on local providers of Bally’s.

Diamond Sports is trying to emerge from bankruptcy filed last year.

An attorney for Diamond told a bankruptcy judge in Houston on Tuesday that negotiations “are at an impasse,” according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune.

“Based on Comcast’s intransigence to negotiate off their current position the company has little choice but to explore alternatives to Comcast, including a new deal with FUBO, TV” said attorney Joe Graham, according to the Star-Tribune.

At what was described as a “brief-but-contentious” hearing, Judge Christopher Lopez agreed to move back a final decision on Diamond’s future to July 30.

In the meantime, customers of Comcast still can’t watch Braves games.

Bally Sports South and Southeast in Atlanta are part of 15 regional sports networks in major markets nationwide that had to come off Comcast when the contract expired. Bally Sports South and Southeast also broadcast the Hawks.

As Diamond Sports works through the bankruptcy process, it is trying to secure long-term deals with providers. It has reached agreement with three of the seven biggest providers, Charter and DirecTV. Comcast is now a significant missing piece along with others such as Dish, YouTube TV and Hulu Live TV.

Streaming service FUBO TV is an option for those who want to pay for the Bally’s networks. The cost is about $100 a month.

Comcast is working on deals with regional sports networks to have their content placed on a tier system. This provides subscribers with the opportunity to pay an extra fee for the sports content while eliminating it from a basic package. Such deals have been worked for the Orioles and Nationals (Mid-Atlantic Sports Network), the Pirates (SportsNet Pittsburgh) and the Mariners (Root Sports Northwest). Major League Baseball has stepped in to help deals with distributors, including Comcast, for the Diamondbacks and Rockies.

The deal between Comcast and Diamond expired in September. After a six-month extension was agreed upon, it took effect in October with an expiration date of April 30. Diamond had the opportunity to extend that agreement to a year but did not choose to do so by a March deadline. That meant the end of the rights expired on May 1.

Attorneys representing MLB, NBA and NHL were also at Tuesday’s hearing as the leagues have a great interest in the outcome of the bankruptcy hearing and the future of Diamond.

Proposals from each side are on the table, representatives of both Bally’s and Comcast told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution last month. The agreement Diamond struck with Charter and DirecTV is on the table for Comcast. The previous working agreement and the tier agreement Comcast struck with carriers in other markets is on the table for Diamond.

Adam Duvall again is coming to the rescue after a big injury to the Braves

Adam Duvall has been in this position before. Almost this exact same position, actually.

The Braves lost star right fielder Ronald Acuña Jr. to a torn ligament in his right knee on July 10, 2021. They acquired Duvall from the Marlins 20 days later. He had 16 home runs, 45 RBIs, and an .800 OPS over the rest of the season, and the Braves went on to win the World Series.

Acuña tore a ligament in his left knee on May 26 and is again out for the season. This time, Duvall was waiting on Atlanta’s bench, having agreed to a one-year contract worth $3 million in March.

Duvall started the next 10 games in right field and had four extra-base hits and six RBIs. Duvall doesn’t yet feel comfortable at the plate, but history suggests he will get there.

“This is why we were so excited to get him in the spring,” Braves manager Brian Snitker said. “Everybody here knows Adam and what a great person and great teammate he is.”

Duvall expected more doors would open after he had 21 homers, 58 RBIs, and an .834 OPS in 92 games for the Red Sox last year. But he was one of the veteran free agents who was still available when spring training started.

“It was stressful,” Duvall said. “I was happy when something came together with the Braves because I had been here before and it was a good fit for my family because they were used to Atlanta.”

Duvall had not played right field this season before Acuña was injured. But that wasn’t a concern given the above-average defense Duvall plays at all three outfield spots.

“Somebody like Adam, we could plug in and play every day,” Snitker said. “We don’t expect him to go 40 [home runs] and 70 [stolen bases]. But the threat that he is, we’re really glad to have him.”

Braves president of baseball operations Alex Anthopoulos had only a few weeks to find a replacement for Acuña in ‘21. He has two months this time.

Duvall has the job for now, but Atlanta will investigate the trade market for an upgrade. The White Sox seem sure to move Tommy Pham , who helped the Diamondbacks get to the World Series last season.

The other option could be a lefthanded hitter to platoon with Duvall.

“An injury like that was unexpected, but when an opportunity comes up you have to make the most of it,” Duvall said. “You always stay ready to play, and I’ll play as much as they need me. I’ve been an everyday player in my career.”

The Braves also believe third baseman Austin Riley will add to the offense now that he has returned from the injured list. Even without Acuña, Atlanta is well positioned to make a postseason run.

“These guys move on,” Snitker said. “You hate to see guys get hurt like that, but it gives somebody else a chance to do something special. We’re still going to play the game; we still have a really good team.”

As for his one season in Boston, Duvall appreciated the experience.

“I enjoyed running out on the field here,” he said. “You think of the history and who played here. There’s just a different feeling when you go on the field.”

Duvall then laughed.

“You go to the bathroom in the dugout and maybe Babe Ruth went there,” he said. “Lots of history.”

It’s nice that Duvall appreciates the past. But let’s hope the facilities have been upgraded since the Bambino was in the home dugout in 1919.

CHANGING TIMES

Martin steps back to move ahead.

Chris Martin went to work in a warehouse after he thought a shoulder injury ended his baseball career. He came back to try again and has so far played parts of nine seasons in the majors and two others in Japan.

He’s a big guy who doesn’t typically have a lot to say to the media. But when he does, it’s often insightful. It also comes from a viewpoint you have to respect.

Martin won a World Series ring with the Braves in 2021 and has had success in markets such as Chicago, Los Angeles, and now Boston. He’s 38 and wants to pitch as long as he can because he appreciates how hard it was to get to the majors.

Once he puts the ball down, Martin plans to run the hunting ranch he’s been building in Texas the last few years.

He’s not somebody you would have expected to go on the injured list because of anxiety.

But that’s the thing with mental health. It doesn’t matter how successful you are or how you appear to others on the outside. Anybody can have issues.

Baseball can be slow to change, and there was a time Martin would have felt pressure to hide how he felt and keep pitching.

But no longer. Daniel Bard , Trevor May , and Austin Meadows are among the players who have stepped back to deal with anxiety in recent years.

CC Sabathia , who will be on the Hall of Fame ballot this year, checked himself into rehab for alcohol issues in 2015. He came back to pitch four more seasons with a 3.98 ERA and appear in seven more postseason games.

The Red Sox have a mental performance coordinator who is with the team all season, and the medical staff includes mental health specialists. It’s the same with every team.

Here’s looking forward to seeing Martin back on the mound and getting a standing ovation at Fenway Park.

A few other observations on the Red Sox:

▪ At this point, it’s hard to imagine ownership is embarrassed by much.

But recent days have featured some moments that would have seemed unfathomable only a few years ago.

On Tuesday and Wednesday, Braves fans filled a large percentage of the seats at Fenway and started the tomahawk chop chant at one point.

Runs scored by Atlanta were greeted with louder cheers than runs scored by the home team.

On Tuesday, the Sox had 28-year-old career minor leaguer Jamie Westbrook batting fifth with Garrett Cooper as the DH batting sixth. Cooper was designated for assignment by the Cubs in April and sold to the Sox. He had a .443 OPS through 22 games.

Bobby Dalbec , summoned from Worcester, started his first major league game in right field.

“We’re lining up today with guys playing in different spots,” manager Alex Cora said. “We’ll take our chances, that’s the attitude we have.”

The Sox have been hit hard by injuries. But the Triple A lineups are also a product of the payroll being lowered and the 40-man roster seeing a drop in talent.

Then the Savannah Bananas sold out Fenway Park on Saturday. It was the first sellout at Fenway since the home opener on April 9. The Sox have not had a crowd larger than 35,494 since.

But the Bananas, they sold out.

The Phillies and Yankees come to Fenway this coming week and will bring their fans with them. Fenway Park has become what Camden Yards once was: a great place to spend a few days if you’re a fan of the visiting team.

▪ As for Fenway Sports Group’s other interests, Tom Werner told The Financial Times he hopes to see English Premier League soccer games in the United States, Brazil, and Saudi Arabia.

But John Henry said playing a Premier League game in New York was “not something that I advocate or am particularly interested in.”

It was Werner, you’ll recall, who said the Sox were “full throttle” in building a roster for this season. That proved not to be the case.

▪ Jarren Duran had nine triples through the first 63 games of the season. That’s already the most in a season by a Red Sox player since Jacoby Ellsbury had 10 in 2009.

The franchise record is 22 by Tris Speaker in 1913. The modern-day record is 15 by Jim Rice in 1977 and ‘78.

▪ The lukewarm reception Chris Sale received from the crowd at Fenway Park on Tuesday after a video of his Sox highlights was a bit surprising.

Sale was a key component of the 2018 championship team. But the lefthander made only 56 starts in the five years that followed because of injuries. The fans haven’t forgotten that.

Sale can’t be faulted for injuries. But the cockamamie story about a belly-button ring irritation the Sox used to explain away an absence in 2018 was embarrassing for all concerned.

That episode also made it tough to believe Sale actually broke his right wrist falling off a bike in 2023.

▪ Garrett Whitlock has had a terrible time with injuries in recent years. But that hasn’t changed who he is as a person.

On Tuesday, Whitlock joined Cora and three teammates for The Jimmy Fund Scooper Bowl event at City Hall Plaza. With his right arm encased in a bulky brace after elbow surgery only four days prior, Whitlock met fans, posed for photos, and represented the team.

▪ The Red Sox Hall of Fame induction ceremony last month included a tribute to Billy Rohr’s one-hitter against the Yankees in the Bronx on April 14, 1967.

In his major league debut, the 21-year-old carried a no-hitter for 8⅔ innings before Elston Howard singled. Rohr beat Whitey Ford .

“It was a shooting star moment,” Rohr said.

Rohr beat the Yankees again a week later at Fenway. But he was 0-3 with an 8.51 ERA in eight more games that season, then traded to Cleveland following the season.

He was used as a reliever in 1968 and never returned to the majors. Rohr quit baseball in 1972, became a lawyer, and retired in Palm Springs.

The one-hitter is often remembered for Carl Yastrzemski’s tumbling catch in left field to steal a hit from Tom Tresh leading off the ninth.

Rohr shared a few other memories of that day. He recalled that Jim Lonborg took him out for a steak dinner in Manhattan the night before the game and how Yankees fans heckled him while he warmed up, saying he could never beat Ford.

Rohr said catcher Russ Gibson called for a high curveball to Howard believing he would pop it up. But Howard singled to right field.

The Sox traded for Howard later that season.

“Elston was such a nice man. It was pretty hard to hate him. I did it, but it was difficult,” Rohr said with a chuckle.

Rohr has been back to Fenway at least 20 times over the years for different events. He lives close to ‘67 teammates Dave Morehead and Bill Landis , and also spends time with Gary Bell .

“There are a few guys that we keep in touch with. But there’s getting to be fewer and fewer of us to be in touch with,” Rohr said.

Baseball can be great theater

Watching Pirates rookie sensation Paul Skenes face the Dodgers on Wednesday was baseball at its best.

Skenes struck out Shohei Ohtani on three pitches in the first inning, all over 100 miles per hour. According to Jason Bernard , MLB’s senior manager of baseball research and development, it was the first time in the pitch-tracking era that a starter had a strikeout on three consecutive swing-and-misses on pitches over 100 m.p.h.

Ohtani looked overmatched, which he admitted later. “I couldn’t really put together good swings,” he said. “Overall really good stuff.”

Ohtani came up again in the third inning and hit a 415-foot homer to center off a 100.1-m.p.h. fastball.

Ohtani faced Skenes a third time and singled on a ball with an exit velocity of 107.6 m.p.h.

To his everlasting credit, the 22-year-old Skenes went right after Ohtani with fastballs.

“That’s why we play the game, for matchups like that,” he said.

The Pirates won the game, 10-6, as Skenes allowed three runs over five innings and struck out eight. He threw 16 pitches of at least 100 m.p.h.

The Pirates play the Dodgers in California Aug. 9-11. Get Skenes on the mound for that series.

Pittsburgh is the only National League team with a winning record (10-6) against the Dodgers since 2022.

Extra bases

The Astros lost Cristian Javier (Thursday) and José Urquidy (Wednesday) to season-ending elbow surgery. They hope to get Luis Garcia and Lance McCullers Jr. back after the All-Star break. Houston went into the weekend 28-35, which is still in contention for a spot in the expanded playoffs. But the Astros can’t afford to slip much further out. Houston has made the postseason seven years in a row, going to the World Series four times and winning it twice. General manager Dana Brown has said he can’t envision the team becoming sellers at the trade deadline. The Astros play the Angels this weekend, followed by series against the Giants, Tigers, White Sox, Orioles, Rockies, and Mets. This is their chance to make a move . . . Blake Snell is 0-3 with a 9.51 ERA in six starts for the Giants and is on the injured list for the second time. Jordan Montgomery was booed off the mound by Diamondbacks fans on Wednesday after giving up six runs over two innings against the Giants. He’s 3-4 with a 6.80 ERA in nine starts. Montgomery and Snell went deep into free agency before signing, the usual tactic of agent Scott Boras . Snell signed on March 19 and Montgomery on March 29. Both took one-year deals, with Snell holding an option for next season. Business is business, but there is something to be said for going through spring training. Montgomery has since changed agents . . . Seattle’s Julio Rodriguez homered off a 102.5-m.p.h. pitch from Oakland’s Mason Miller on Wednesday. Since pitches were tracked, Rafael Devers holds the record, homering on a 102.8-m.p.h. pitch from Aroldis Chapman on Aug. 13, 2017. Devers did that in his 15th career game . . . In the market for a Father’s Day gift? Try a baseball book. “The Last of his Kind: Clayton Kershaw and the Burden of Greatness” by Andy McCullough . Good match of subject and author here. Kershaw is one of the best at what he does, as is McCullough. For Red Sox fans, three choices that are personal favorites: “Summer of ‘49″ by David Halberstam brings a classic pennant race between the Yankees and Red Sox into sharp focus. “ Ted Williams : The Biography of an American Hero” by Leigh Montville or “The Kid: The Immortal Life of Ted Williams” by Ben Bradlee Jr. are also great choices . . . Speaking of the Splendid Splinter, the Ted Williams Baseball Camp Alumni and Friends fund-raiser to benefit The Jimmy Fund will be July 13 from noon to 4 p.m. at the Loon Pond Lodge, 28 Precinct Street in Lakeville.
