In this edition of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Braves Report podcast, beat reporter Justin Toscano, sports video reporter Sarah Spencer and co-host Jay Black explain why the Braves are adamant about their World Series expectations in 2024.

We will also explain why manager Brian Snitker and GM Alex Anthopoulos are happy with that kind of motivation.

Plus, we hear from Ronald Acuña Jr. about his hopes to become a Brave for life.

Later in the show, Anthopoulos lays out his storylines for spring training and why the fifth starter job is an open competition.

Plus, Justin and Sarah answer questions from Braves fans in the “Ask Justin” segment.

Reliever A.J. Minter said the Braves will be motivated by last year's NLDS loss to Philly, and the expectation should be to win a World Series this year.
