The Atlanta Braves came within one game of advancing to the World Series last season and will be looking to take the next step in 2021. The Braves brought back Marcell Ozuna this offseason and added veterans Charlie Morton and Drew Smyly to the rotation. That along with the return of reigning NL MVP Freddie Freeman and a great young core has Atlanta looking for even greater heights.
The Braves will get to work this week as pitchers and catchers will report to North Port and hold their first team workout on February 18. As the team returns to action, so will we as the first part of our 2021 season preview drops today with a look at the top Spring Training storylines and a preview of the coaching staff. The preview will continue to roll out over the remainder of February as we take a position-by-position look at the Braves roster.
We will have overviews of every position as well as a number features on select players. Our minor league writers will be spotlighting several prospects and we will have plenty of podcast content a long the way.
