Spring Training grows closer, but the Braves still have a handful of questions to answer before Opening Day.

Grant McAuley and Cory McCartney discuss the left field and shortstop battles, the effect of Adam Duvall's departure, where they'll look for more production in left and DH, and what those needs could mean for shortstop hopeful Vaughn Grissom. Where does he factor into all of this?

It was also a big week on the international front as the Braves signed a new crop of prospects. Garrett Spain of Battery Power joins to discuss the new class headlined by outfielder Luis Guanipa.

Special guest Jayson Stark joins the show to shed some light on the reinstatement of embattled former Braves GM John Coppolella, whose lifetime banishment from baseball ended after five years. What went into that decision? How did Coppolella change MLB's mind? Jayson had all of that in his recent feature for The Athletic.

All of that on this week's From The Diamond. Subscribe wherever you get your podcasts and find more at FromTheDiamond.com.
