The Atlanta Braves have placed Anthony Recker on their newly minted 25-man Opening Day roster. Once Kurt Suzuki was signed, this wasn’t the way the plan was expected to come together. So what do we make of this?
There are a couple of immediate takeaways I have on this news:
- The Braves have been unable – or unwilling – to find a way to locate another bench bat over the past couple of weeks. That could be a financial limitation.
- Recker’s place on this roster is still probably etched into the book in pencil.
