Part 3/9:
The Braves also face a unique situation regarding their star players. Ace Spencer Strider and standout outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. are not expected to start the season due to injuries. Strider has expressed confidence about being ready for spring training, but the Braves seem cautious in how they approach acquisitions, particularly in seeking a back-up outfielder.
As the roster currently stands, the Braves boast a rotation highlighted by the National League Cy Young winner and are hopeful for a swift return of Strider and Acuña by early May. Nevertheless, fans are left questioning why the Braves, a historically proactive organization, appear stagnant this off-season.
