What is the story about?

It’s

time for the Braves to once again play the Rays in Spring Training. Why? Because the schedule does not care.

Chris Sale will get yet another tune-up against Rays fill-ins and minor leaguers, while Nick Martinez has to deal with basically the Braves’ regulars. And hey, look, this game is on BravesVision. That’s kind of funny.
