Braves were reportedly linked to free agent Casey Mize at the trade deadline, according to SB Nation.

Braves reliever Osvaldo Bido struggled after an offseason of waiver claims, per an SB Nation player review.
Atlanta claimed Bido off waivers from the Athletics on December 5, 2025, waived him 10 days later, and he then cleared waivers from the Rays, Marlins, Angels and Yankees before returning March 24, 2026. He made the Opening Day roster and appeared in six of Atlanta's first 19 games. After striking out all three batters he faced in his debut, he managed only a 3/5 K/BB ratio over his next five outings.

He hit .239 with 22 homers and a league-high 17 triples last season while dealing with multiple injuries. He was awarded his first Gold Glove earlier this month.

Nationals reportedly extend center fielder Jacob Young on a four-year, $23 million deal with a fifth-year option.
According to SB Nation, the deal includes an $8 million option for a fifth season, citing a source familiar with the contract. The fan-site writer says the Nationals now have James Wood, Daylen Lile, Dylan Crews and Young under control into the 2030s, which creates a surplus that could be traded. The writer argues a trade of Young is now unlikely, and that Crews has the higher offensive ceiling while Young is the better defender.
