The Atlanta Braves' 2027 MLB schedule was released, featuring a season-opening road series against the Los Angeles Dodgers and Milwaukee Brewers. The team will play its home opener on April 2 against the Houston Astros, and the season could begin on March 25, the earliest Opening Day in MLB history. The schedule includes a balanced format with home-and-home series against all National League teams and most American League teams, including two series against the Boston Red Sox.

Major League Baseball owners propose ending high school players' draft eligibility, introducing an international draft, and cutting amateur signing bonuses by nearly half. The changes aim to save owners $400 million initially and $200 million annually, with the draft shortened to 12 rounds and draft eligibility ages raised for domestic and international players.
