This spring won’t be the Braves’ last at Disney.

The team announced Wednesday that it has extended its spring training agreement with ESPN Wide World of Sports through April 2019.

The Braves have played at the Complex since 1998. New facilities are being built in North Port, including a 9,000-seat ballpark. The project was approved in September and the team broke ground on the new complex in October.

The Braves had planned to move to North Port for 2019 spring training.
