Steinbrenner Field in Tampa. We knew the date and the time (6:35 p.m. ET, to be exact) but we didn\u2019t know the rosters until recently.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Now, we have a close idea of who the Braves will be sending to Tampa to take on the Yankees and it\u2019s a veritable who\u2019s who of top Braves prospects and recent draft picks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Most of Atlanta\u2019s Top 30 prospects (according to MLB Pipeline) will be on the initial 40-man roster. That means that we\u2019ll be seeing Cam Caminiti, JR Ritchie, Didier Fuentes, John Gil, Alex Lodise and Tate Southisene in action, among plenty of other top prospects for the Braves. For some reason, MLB has gone with the approach of having each team declare an initial 40-man roster of prospects before initially cutting it down to 27 players by March 16. I can\u2019t tell you why they\u2019re doing this (maybe it\u2019s a bit of preparation for when <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/MLBPipeline\/status\/2029618270429393392\" rel=\"nofollow\">Spring Breakout moves to a tournament format for 2027 and 2028<\/a>) but it\u2019ll certainly be interesting to see who makes the cut between now and then.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">I\u2019d say that it\u2019s a safe bet that the names I mentioned above will likely make it as well. The only question is whether or not the ones on the edge of MLB Pipeline\u2019s Top 30 rankings will make it or not. Still, I\u2019d imagine that we have a very good idea of who\u2019s going to be playing on March 21 in Tampa. Who do you think will make the cut?
