Braves Spring Training is in full swing as the club takes on the Rays today in the Grapefruit League opener with Spencer Strider on the mound and, surprisingly, Marcell Ozuna on first base.
The Braves will open the Grapefruit League season on Saturday against the Rays, and the club announced that Spencer Strider will toe the rubber. Michael Harris II and Jarred Kelenic will make the trip as we get our first glimpse at the former No.
The Atlanta Braves have been busy this offseason, but don't appear done. After landing some much-needed pieces via trades to help build out their roster,
The Braves were the most decorated team in baseball last year. The club sent eight players to the All-Star game, five earned All-MLB honors, three Silver Sluggers, the first-ever team Silver Slugger award, and the NL MVP.
One of the themes for the Atlanta Braves under president of baseball operations Alex Anthopoulos has been long-term contractual control.

Sometimes, luck just isn't on your side. That's the situation that faced Atlanta Braves designated hitter Marcell Ozuna in 2023. A combination of a slow
Last offseason the Atlanta Braves couldn't give Marcell Ozuna away, but after a comeback season, he now has the value to be moved if it still makes sense.
Earlier this month, Braves chairman Terry McGuirk and president of baseball operations Alex Anthopoulos both said the club would increase payroll relative to 2023, but it’s unclear exactly how much it will go up.
The Braves made another splash signing, adding to their bullpen again in the form of Reynaldo Lopez. The 29-year-old reliever averaged 98.2 MPH on his heater in 2023, and gives Atlanta’s relief core some more power that they’ve been desperately missing.
The Atlanta Braves had a dilemma on their hands. It was May 1st, and Marcell Ozuna had just finished batting .085 for the month of April. The oft-maligned

The Braves featured a number of surprising storylines on their way to winning 104 games and shattering a boatload of records, but I’m not sure anything was more out of the blue than Marcell Ozuna going from a tomato can to having a career year.
The Phillies had their fun in last year's NLDS, but the upcoming rematch could produce quite a different outcome. This Braves offense doesn't seem like the kind that will score only 13 runs over four games like last year's — 13 runs in one game is more like it.
The MLB postseason is finally here. These are some of the biggest storylines for the 2023 playoffs, including Baltimore's remarkable resurgence, Miami's stunning run, and Atlanta's mission to solidify itself as the best in the league.
