The 2020 Winter Meetings for Major League Baseball will have a different look this season as the entire event moves into a virtual environment for the first time ever. The league had been scheduled to hold the event in Dallas this week but the pandemic has necessitated a change. The Winter Meetings were once the starting point for the hot stove season as team officials could coordinate jumpstarts to their offseason plans. How transitioning to a virtual workspace will affect the meetings remains to be seen.
The Atlanta Braves have not announced any additions during the Winter Meetings the last couple of years, but it has been a important time for Alex Anthopoulos and his staff as they take in the scope of the league and lay the foundation for future moves.
