There may be some Opening Day roster predictions starting to appear – and we might make a couple of these ourselves – but it’s actually pretty likely that there are 1 or 2 players we’ll see open the season with the Atlanta Braves that aren’t even with the organization yet.
There’s a history of this…
- 2018 – March 25: Braves sign CF Peter Bourjos
- 2018 – March 26: Braves sign UTIL Ryan Flaherty
- 2017 – March 26: Braves sign RHP David Hernandez (minor league deal; assigned to the major league team 2 days later; later traded to the Angels (April 24)).
