Found January 22, 2014 on The Last Angry Fan:
PLAYERS: Chipper Jones
TEAMS: Atlanta Braves
Chipper Jones has a lot of time on his hands now that he’s retired from baseball, so he keeps busy with hunting and fishing and outdoorsy stuff. Chipper also helps out around the house with chores and whatnot, but after what happened when Jones cleaned out the fireplace earlier today, he might not be asked to help out around the house again. Lol. Tried to do my daily chores and cleaned out the fireplace. Went and dumped the ashes. Alls good right? Nope. Set the woods on fire! Ugh — Chipper Jones (@RealCJ10) January 23, 2014 I got firefighters all over my place! Thank you Roswell Fire Dept. — Chipper Jones (@RealCJ10) January 23, 2014 How bad could the fire have been?

The Braves launch full-squad workouts for spring training four weeks from today (Feb. 18 at the Walt Disney World complex in Kissimmee, Fla.). As an appetizer to that, here's a look at 11 notable quirks from the team's 2014 schedule, which in hindsight, has less volatility than last year's slate of time-zone-extending road trips and back-loaded homestands: 1.

Will the Braves be forced to trade their closer?

Via Pro Sports Daily  |  January 22, 2014

Big-market teams would remain big, small-market teams small, and the financial health of some might never improve. Now the disparity between the haves and have-nots isn't as clearly defined as it once was. Some of the organizations that were once paupers are now kings and vice-versa...
