Atlanta Braves News: Max Fried opens series against Orioles, 2024 MLB Player Poll, more

Without a doubt, times are a little tough for the Atlanta Braves.

However, it seems that the franchise and its players are well regarded by MLB players.

This was indicated in the 2024 MLB Player Poll via The Athletic. It seems that, around baseball, Ronald Acuna Jr. is one of the most talented players in the game, and the Braves are the team with the highest percentage of votes when it comes to the question of whether with which team the players would most like to sign.

So regardless, it certainly seems like the vibes remain positive off the field. Now the key for the Braves, even against a tough opponent like Baltimore, is figuring out how to get the offense going again to get wins on the field. Fortunately, Max Fried will get things started against the Orioles on Tuesday in hopes of securing a series-opening victory.
