BDB 2025 Season Review Series Episode #7 - The Atlanta Braves (w/ Josh Kindon!)

Its time for our 7th Season Review and this time we're chatting about the Atlanta Braves!

Joining Cal & Gaz on this one is fan of the show (almost as much as he is a fan of the Braves) Josh Kindon!

The Braves had a very disapointing season in 2025, finishing with a record of 76-86, good enough for a 4th place finish in the NL East!

The Braves' season could probably be summed up by the fact that their biggest 2025 off season signing, Jurickson Profar, was banned for 81 games for PEDs just one month into the season!

The Braves' best player was yet again Ronald Acuna Jr, but he could only manage 95 games due to injury! Matt Olson was yet again a solid contributor with the bat and Drake Baldwin was the NL Rookie of the Year, but outside of that there wasn't much on the positional side to write home about!

On the pitching side, Chris Sale was once again brilliant but went down with injury mid Summer, and outside of Spencer Swellenbach he didn't get much help in the rotation! 

Even long-term reliable closer Raisel Iglesias looked like he took a bit of a step back!

But is 2026 going to hold for the Braves? 

Joining Cal & Gaz on this one is Josh Kindon - avid Braves fan and one of the first people to reach out to us about wanting to appear on this series!

So have a listen as review the Braves' season and Josh lets us know what we have to look forward to in 2026 - Happy Listening!
