"It's been a minute since we have had real, actual Braves baseball news to talk about. Oh sure, we've covered the nearly interminable Braves TV partner saga. At least it looks as if we are going to have a happy ending there. Braves released their non-roster invitee list. This is the deep cut. These are prospects that are not on the 40-man roster and older players that are just on the outside of staying on an active roster. As we shared on Wednesday:"
"Pitchers (10): RH Garrett Baumann, RH Carlos Carrasco, RH Javy Guerra, RH Elieser Hernández, RH James Karinchak, RH Owen Murphy, LH Martín Pérez, RH Austin Pope, RH JR Ritchie, RH Tayler Scott Catchers (3): Jair Camargo, Sandy León, Chadwick Tromp Infielders (7): Tristin English, John Gil, Jim Jarvis, Alex Lodise, Aaron Schunk, Luke Waddell, Luke Williams Outfielders (4): José Azócar, Ben Gamel, Brewer Hicklen, DaShawn Keirsey Jr."
"So who you got for your favorite NRI this spring? JR Ritchie might be the best prospect in that list, but Battery Power's #4, #9 and #12 are there too. There are guys that are trying to grab that last guy on the bench role like Luke Williams. Martin Perez and James Karinchak will be pitchers to watch. Backup catcher for Opening Day is up for grabs, and we've got three options there."
Braves released a non-roster invitee list that includes ten pitchers, three catchers, seven infielders, and four outfielders. The invitees mix top prospects and veteran depth players who will compete for roster spots and bench roles. JR Ritchie is a standout prospect among the group, with several other Battery Power top prospects present. Martin Pérez and James Karinchak figure to be pitchers to watch during spring training. The backup catcher job for Opening Day is open with Jair Camargo, Sandy León, and Chadwick Tromp as candidates. Luke Williams and similar veterans will battle for the final bench position.
