Atlanta Braves 2023 Opening Day 40-Man Roster

Coming into 2023 there was very little notable activity on the Braves' roster. Dansby Swanson left to go to the Chicago Cubs through free agency, but the winning core of the team still remains. Though it was surprising that the Braves did not pursue a replacement shortstop after Swanson's departure, the one area of the team that was strengthened was behind the plate, as the Braves dealt for catcher Sean Murphy from the Oakland A's. After a Herculean effort to retain their NL East crown in 2022, the Braves are expected to compete again to make it their 6th success in a row, with their young core all signed up on long-term contracts.
