Examining Braves Short-Season Roster Construction

The new rules and nature of an abbreviated 2020 season gives the Atlanta Braves some interesting decisions to make in the three weeks from the start of Spring Training 2.0 until the games begin.

General Manager Alex Anthopoulos says they will utilize Truist Park and Gwinnett's Coolray Park as a dual camp model, with Atlanta containing mostly the 30 players they plan to utilize to start the season on July 23rd or 24th. Anthopoulos said they will try to utilize the Gwinnett "taxi squad" for players who can contribute if needed for the big club, but didn't rule out the possibility of having high-priority prospects getting seasoning there.
