Atlanta Braves News: The Morning Chop 1/25
By Jeff Schafer
Tomahawk Take Editor’s Note: The Atlanta Braves and John Hart have received a lot of backlash this offseason over the moves they have made. Atlanta will have a completely different team running out of the dugout in 2015 as just 16 players remain on the 40-man roster in 2015 that were there in 2014. Though all the turnover, the Braves goal is still a playoff run and possibly a World Series by doing “something different.”
"They were clearly joking, but en route to a Braves Caravan stop on Friday, Craig Kimbrel may have perfectly summed up the perception of the revamped team weeks before they report to spring training.“We were actually just talking about that,” said David Hale, who will compete to be the team’s fifth starter. “(Kimbrel) said we should get shirts with the name tag sticker on it and you can just write your name in there.”The early days of camp do figure to be full of introductions."
Gwinnett Braves to Partner with Professional Sports Catering
