Seasons

The 2017 Atlanta Braves season is the Braves' 52nd season in Atlanta and 142nd season of the franchise.

Offseason

October

The Braves made a number of changes during the offseason, starting with releasing Roger McDowell, who served as pitching coach for 11 seasons, on October 7, 2016. Four days later, Brian Snitker, who took over as interim manager for Fredi Gonzalez on May 17, 2016 and the team finished the season with a 59–65 record, including winning 20 of its last 30 games, was named as the new manager of the Atlanta Braves.

November

On November 10, the Braves signed a two-year, $8 million deal with veteran pitcher and 2012 National League Cy Young Award winner R.A. Dickey. The next day, they signed a one-year, $12.5 million deal with veteran pitcher Bartolo Colon. On November 28, the Braves acquired outfield prospect Alex Jackson and a player to be named at a later date in a trade with the Mariners. In exchange, the Braves sent pitcher Rob Whalen, who went 1–2 with a 6.57 ERA in five starts, and Max Povse to the Mariners.

December

The Braves continued their offseason realignment of their starting rotation in a December 1 trade acquisition of Jaime García, sending John Gant, who went 1–4 with a 5.76 ERA in 20 games (including seven starts), and two minor league prospects to the Cardinals. The next day, they signed one-year deals with catcher Anthony Recker and relief pitcher Paco Rodriguez, while releasing reliever Chris Withrow.
