Marietta's Nick Markakis is in his second full season with the Braves.
By The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
March 3, 2016

Nick Markakis arrived in Braves camp fit, beardless and ready to play.

The 32-year-old outfielder, who grew up in Marietta,  spent nine seasons with the Baltimore Orioles and is on the second year of a 4-year, $44 million deal he signed to join the Braves.

The Braves have a loaded outfield and are said to be attempting to deal players so it's no surprise Markakis' name is making the rumormill as a candidate of a trade.

Who knew the Braves commented in Russian?
