The Atlanta Braves have been the best team in Major League Baseball this season, and a huge reason has been their starting rotation playing much better than expected.
But another big reason for the success early this season has been their offense, and more specifically, the production of catcher Drake Baldwin.
After winning Rookie of the Year in 2025, he's playing great once again. However, according to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, Baldwin got some bad news on a possible extension with Atlanta, not yet engaging in contract talks with their catcher.

"The Braves, however, have yet to seriously engage Baldwin in discussions on an extension, according to people briefed on the matter," Rosenthal reports.
This is a noteworthy update for the Braves and Baldwin, as Atlanta has been one of the more proactive teams when it comes to signing their players long-term.
Ronald Acuna Jr., , Michael Harris, and many others were signed to long-term deals early in their careers so the Braves could get a discount in the long-term.
