As Angels come to town, Braves send their support to former coach Ron Washington
The Atlanta Braves will host a three-game series with the Los Angeles Angels at Truist Park this week, but one notable figure will be missing in the visiting dugout. The Angels will be without their manager Ron Washington. The beloved former Braves third base coach will miss the rest of the 2025 season for medical reasons. Advertisement [DOWNLOAD: Free WSB-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] Braves manager Brian Snitker told Channel 2's Alison Mastrangelo that he has spoken to Washington a number of times in the days since his announcement. 'I've talk to him live, I've text with him, I've told him, you know what, whatever he does I'm gonna be praying for him and hoping for the best because he's a really good friend and I know how this affects him and we're all concerned that you know, and all we want is for him to get, take the right steps and get back healthy and doing what he loves," Snitker said. Washington spent seven seasons on the Braves coaching staff and played an integral role during the team's 2021 World Series championship run. The players and coaches love him from his infield warm-up drills to his pregame notes. The Braves and Angels will play Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday night at 7:15 p.m. [SIGN UP: WSB-TV Daily Headlines Newsletter]

MLB Writer Suggests 'Outrageous' Braves Trade For Mason Miller
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Atlanta Braves have struggled this season, and there's almost no hope they can fight for a postseason spot in the loaded National League right now. They're going to need to make some changes in the next year or two in order to put a competitive team back on the field. This likely includes hitting the trade market pretty hard. Bleacher Report's Kerry Miller recently proposed a trade that would send Athletics closer Mason Miller to the Braves in exchange for prospects Drue Hackenberg, Lucas Braun, and Rolddy Muñoz. DETROIT, MICHIGAN - JUNE 25: Austin Wynns #29 and Mason Miller #19 of the Athletics celebrate their win against the Detroit Tigers during the bottom of the ninth inning at Comerica Park on June 25,... DETROIT, MICHIGAN - JUNE 25: Austin Wynns #29 and Mason Miller #19 of the Athletics celebrate their win against the Detroit Tigers during the bottom of the ninth inning at Comerica Park on June 25, 2025 in Detroit, Michigan. More"Mason Miller trade speculation was all the rage last year, but maybe he's more gettable now amid a less productive season and with one year less of team control remaining?" Miller wrote. "Also, how many times can the Braves win a trade with the A's? Atlanta already has the A's to thank for Matt Olson, Sean Murphy, and Nick Allen, not to mention Tim Hudson once upon a time. "Raisel Iglesias is in the final year of his contract and not pitching well at all. Atlanta has continued using him in high-leverage situations, though, largely due to the lack of serviceable Plan B. Miller would be both a short-term replacement and ideally a long-term solution for a team that still views itself as a 2025 contender and that otherwise needs to address its closer situation this winter, anyway." Outrageous feels like an understatement for this deal. First of all, trading Miller doesn't make much sense for the Athletics. They might need some change, but that doesn't mean they should trade their superstar closer while he has over four years of team control left. Secondly, this trade package isn't even close to enough to land a star like Miller. That package might not be enough to land Miller if he were on an expiring contract, let alone one with 4 1/2 years of team control left. The Braves need to begin planning for the future, but it's unlikely this planning will involve a deal for Miller. More MLB: Griffin Canning Injury Creates Opportunity For Shocking Mets Trade
