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.^[1] 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.^[2]

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.^[3] The next day, they signed a one-year, $12.5 million deal with veteran pitcher Bartolo Colon.^[4] 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.^[5] 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.^[6]

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.^[7] The next day, they signed one-year deals with catcher Anthony Recker and relief pitcher Paco Rodriguez, while releasing reliever Chris Withrow.^[8]
