With the first full-squad workout coming Tuesday, what does the man who built the 2023 Braves think of his team?

In this episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Braves Report podcast, AJC beat reporter Justin Toscano is joined by Braves president of baseball operations Alex Anthopoulos to discuss where things stand before spring training games begin.

Anthopoulos will talk about the shortstop battle, Max Fried’s contract situation, his own contract situation and how the new rules are impacting the roster.

Plus, Anthopoulos will dig into the big departure to his front office staff and provide some advice for those looking to work in baseball.
