Major League Baseball announced the first Spring Training workout dates for teams on Tuesday. Atlanta Braves pitchers and catchers will hold their first workout on Thursday, February 18 with the first full squad workout scheduled on February 23. The situation surrounding the spring remains fluid, but the league and the players are progressing as close to normal as possible. The league also released health and safety protocols for the 2021 season which include players wearing tracking devices to assist with contact tracing similar to what we have seen with the NBA and NFL. The league also introduced discipline for violation of the health and safety protocols and outlined roster rules for the spring, Opening Day and a taxi squad.
