Major League Baseball announced its revised Grapefruit League schedule Friday. The schedule was revised for safety considerations and to limit travel.
The Braves will play 29 games in 31 days against the Rays, Orioles, Pirates, Red Sox and Twins. Each of those clubs is located within roughly 50 miles of North Port, Florida, where the Braves train. The Rays are the Braves’ neighbors in Port Charlotte. The Orioles are in nearby Sarasota, while the Pirates are in Bradenton. The Red Sox and Twins are in Fort Myers.
Braves pitchers and catchers will have their first workout Feb. 18. The first full-squad workout is Feb. 23, five days before the games begin.
The Braves’ exhibition slate begins Feb. 28 at Tampa Bay. They’ll play at the Red Sox the following day before their spring-training home opener against the Twins on March 2. They will play 14 games at CoolToday Park, their spring-training home that opened last year.
The Braves close the exhibition season at the Red Sox on March 30. They’ll have a day off before opening the regular season April 1 in Philadelphia.
