We knew it was coming, and I guess this Wednesday afternoon, after just a few official exhibition games have been played, the Braves have made their first round of cuts:
The #Braves today optioned C Chadwick Tromp to Triple-A Gwinnett, and reassigned RHP Blake Burkhalter, RHP Roel Ramírez and RHP Brooks Wilson to minor league camp. Atlanta now has 61 total players in camp.

Early-spring cuts are mostly a foregone conclusion, a matter of when rather than if, and that’s the case here.
