Ever since the rival Phillies abruptly ended the Braves’ historic 2023 season, fans have been counting down the days

until the next baseball season. New obstacles will arise in 2024, and the Braves must first win the lengthy regular

season in order to return to their 2021 level of success. Although there are moments when the baseball offseason

seems endless, many fans swiftly switch from football to baseball as the new year approaches.

Before the teams can compete for the NL East title, they must finish building their

rosters and get through a month of Spring Training games. As Valentine’s

Day approaches, baseball will continue to make moves because there are still a lot of well-known free agents available.

But don’t count on the Braves being a major player in many of those discussions. As it stands right now, the

Braves are perhaps better prepared than any other baseball team to begin Spring Training.

The sights and sounds of pitchers and catchers reporting for Spring Training on February 14th will delight fans of the

Braves. After that, things will pick up on February 20th, when Atlanta has its first practice with the entire squad. All of this

will get them ready for their Spring Training opener against the Tampa Bay Rays on February 24. The Boston Red Sox

will be their opponent in their home opener at CoolToday Park the following day.

After that, the team will play more than thirty spring training games to see pitchers seeking to recover from injuries as well as intriguing prospects. The 26-

man roster will eventually be put together for a historic opening day match in the same location where their 2023

campaign came to an end. Of course, that is on March 28 in Philadelphia against the Phillies.
