Atlanta Braves-Philadelphia Phillies free livestream: How to watch MLB game tonight, TV, schedule
The Atlanta Braves play against the Philadelphia Phillies in an MLB game tonight. The matchup will be broadcasted on TBS at 6:20 p.m. CT. Fans can watch this game for free online by using the free trial offered by DirecTV Stream. Alternatively, Sling offers a first month discount to new users.
The Braves enter this matchup with a 66-58 record, and they are coming off back-to-back wins against the Los Angeles Angels. During their last two games, Atlanta outscored the Angels 14-4.
Atlanta’s designated hitter Marcell Ozuna has played well recently, hitting 8-10 over the past three games. His recent hot streak includes three RBI and a home run, so he will try to continue his offensive dominance this evening.
The Braves will have to play without their third baseman Austin Riley in this matchup because he fractured his hand recently. The third baseman will miss a couple of weeks due to the injury, so Atlanta signed Gio Urshela to fill the hole.
Riley’s injury will heavily impact Atlanta on both sides of the ball, but they are still in position to reach the postseason this year.
Philadelphia has been dominant over the past few months, as they currently hold a seven game divisional lead. The Phillies enter this matchup with a 73-51 record, and they have won four of their last five games.
Philadelphia has been led by Alec Bohm and Kyle Schwarber this season. Bohm currently leads the team with 85 RBI and a .285 batting average, while Schwarber leads the team with 28 home runs and a .378 on-base percentage.

Braves News: Short term free agent options, rumors, more
We are nearing the opening of the International Free Agency signing period, on January 15th. The Braves are reportedly set to sign one of the top prospects in the class, but the biggest story of the signing period is that Roki Sasaki will be able to sign with a team formally. Reportedly he has not made a decision yet, which will pose problems for teams hoping to sign him, as they will need to hold open space in their bonus pool for him. If the Braves are involved, look for them to delay finalizing deals with the free agents they are expected to sign until Sasaki informs them they are out of the running or makes a final decision. While there hasn’t been any reporting to the point, there are some reasons to believe that Atlanta could be desirable for Sasaki. Sasaki’s agent has indicated some interest in having a friendlier and less invasive media market, a team set up for short and long term success, and having a team with a good pitching development reputation, all of which fit Atlanta. Furthermore, Atlanta’s extensive history of handing out extensions to their young players must be appealing to a player in Sasaki’s financial situation, as his short term income is dramatically limited by the international free agency process, and Atlanta has been polled among the most desirable teams to play for among MLB players. I will be interested to see if Atlanta is involved in the Sasaki sweepstakes.

We are really at the bottom of the barrel here, with no moves of note and not to the point of Spring Training news either.
MLB News
Players like Anthony Santander and Jack Flaherty are reportedly at the point of considering more short term, high AAV deals, which could be of interest to an Atlanta front office that has been fond of that type of deal.
Garrett Crochet has talked with the Red Sox about signing an extension, after the star lefty was traded to Boston from Sox to Sox earlier this offseason.
International Amateur Free Agent Darell Morel has flipped to sign with the Pirates, after initially agreeing on a deal with the Dodgers, as the Dodgers are holding open space in hopes of signing Roki Sasaki and Morel gets nearly double the bonus he was set to receive.
