Atlanta Braves 2017 Season Preview: Tyler Flowers

Catcher will definitely be a crowded position this year for the Atlanta Braves. Atlanta signed veteran catcher Kurt Suzuki this offseason to try and take some of the load off of catcher Tyler Flowers.

And now the 25-man roster has been released, showing that Anthony Recker, who most people anticipated would begin the season at Gwinnett, has also made the roster.

That’s right, folks. The Braves will be carrying three catchers on their roster to begin the season. So what does this mean for Tyler Flowers?

In a word, relief.
