The Columbus Professional Baseball Club is a Minor League Baseball (MiLB) based in Columbus, Georgia. The team, which will play in the Southern League, is the Double-A affiliate of the Atlanta Braves major-league club. They will announce their nickname before they begin play in 2025.
They relocated to Columbus from Pearl, Mississippi, a suburb of Jackson, following the 2024 season, where they were previously known as the Mississippi Braves.
History[edit]
Prior to 2023, the team was located in Pearl, Mississippi, playing for 19 seasons as the Mississippi Braves. In 2004, the Greenville Braves moved to Mississippi after failure to reach an agreement with the Greenville County council for a new ballpark.
In May 2023, the city council of Columbus supported Mayor Skip Henderson's efforts to attract a minor league team to the city.[1] The city later approved a $50 million dollar renovation to Synovus Park to bring the stadium up to minor league standards.[2] [3] In January 2024, the Mississippi Braves announced that they would be relocating to Columbus, Georgia, and begin play starting in the 2025 season.[4][5]
