The first of the Braves pitchers and catchers report to spring training on Monday. 

In this edition of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Braves Report podcast, beat reporter Justin Toscano and Jay Black discuss how spring training will look, who’s reporting when and how the new rule changes could affect the players’ preparation.   

Our crew will also dig into the candidates for the few available roster spots, why Ronald Acuna will be playing in the World Baseball Classic after all and the changes in the front office. 

Plus, we answer your questions in the “Ask Justin” segment.
