Fucking Rock Paper Scissors? Between that and the owners forcing the 17-game season without even giving the players the salary worth of an extra game, I'm ready to simply just take at least the next season off. It'd be nice to get some extra fall Sundays back.

Well, the Braves are one of the two extant teams from the first season of the National League in 1876, so they got some time before that.
That, and they haven’t been in Atlanta proper since 2016, because they needed their stadium away from the darks.
