The Atlanta Braves 2017 season and new stadium opening is getting very close and will become the focus in Atlanta after the Falcons appeared in Super Bowl 51. The Braves are sticking to the plan and blueprint they have built whether fans like it or not.

They have proven they know how to rebuild a team and farm quickly and efficiently. Putting themselves in a position both this season and in the two seasons past to be surprise contenders or to go all in and trade veterans for youth if needed.

Even if the Braves struggle early players like Ender Inciarte,Freddie Freeman, and Julio Teheran should be more than enough to bring fans to the new park. Whether fans like it or not the Brave haven’t been afraid to make gutsy moves that have put themselves in a good positon in the seasons to come.
