It is time. Members of the 2017 Atlanta Braves at all levels are checking in at Walt Disney World this morning.
Lots of handshakes, hugs, and back slaps. Physicals will be performed, workout gear will be issued, and for some… Social Security checks will be passed out (well, not quite yet for some).
Who are these pitchers and catchers anyway?

- Manny Banuelos
- Danny Burawa
- Mauricio Cabrera
- Mike Foltynewicz
