Pitchers and catchers will report to North Port for the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday, with positions players slated to join them in camp by February 20. The first full-squad workout is scheduled for February 21 and the Grapefruit League opener will follow on February 25.
The Braves are coming off of a 101-win season and another NL East division title. They were relatively quiet this offseason, with the exception of the big trade for Oakland catcher Sean Murphy whom they locked up on a six-year extension. Murphy’s deal adds to Atlanta’s apparently ever-growing young core.
