ALT Bobby Cox: 1941-2026
ALT We are overcome with emotion on the passing of Bobby Cox, our treasured skipper. Bobby was the best manager to ever wear a Braves uniform. He led our team to 14 straight division titles, five National League pennants, and the unforgettable World Series title in 1995. His Braves managerial legacy will never be matched. Bobby was a favorite among all in the baseball community, especially those who played for him. His wealth of knowledge on player development and the intricacies of managing the game were rewarded with the sport’s ultimate prize in 2014 - enshrinement into the Baseball Hall of Fame. And while Bobby's passion for the game was unparalleled, his love of baseball was exceeded only by his love for his family. It is with the heaviest of hearts that we send our sincerest condolences to his beloved wife, Pam, and their loving children and grandchildren.

ALT The Atlanta Braves today announced the organization signed RHP Kenley Jansen to a one-year contract worth $16 million. To make room on the 40-man roster, the club placed RHP Jay Jackson on the 60-day injured list with a right lat strain. Jansen, 34, finished with 38 saves and 2.22 ERA (17 ER/69.0 IP) in 69 games last year for the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 6-foot-5, 265-pound native of Willemstad, Curaçao, ranked second in the National League with his 38 saves, trailing only San Diego’s Mark Melancon. Jansen is a three-time All-Star, going to the game in 2016, 2017, and 2018. He owns 350 career saves over 12 major league seasons, and since his debut season of 2010, only Craig Kimbrel (372) has more saves than the righty.
