The Report Previews the Braves and the Phillies

The Rising Apple Report is back for its 12th episode, as Sam Maxwell takes the hosting mound for the latest piping-hot half hour of Mets talk. On this week's episode, Mike Lecolant and Rich Sparago join him with Spring Training close to winding down and Opening Day only 12 days away.

The Braves made a slew of big moves this offseason. Jeff Schafer of Fansided's Tomahawk Take will join us to give the fanbase's perspective.

The Phillies, though not as flashy or headline-grabbing, made a lot of moves as well. Justin Klugh of Fansided's That Ball's Outta Here calls in for the Brotherly Love angle of baseball that is 2013.

And bookending both previews will be plenty of up-to-the-minute, always-enthralling Mets chatter.

So, be sure to join us at 6:30PM EST for the latest edition of The Rising Apple Report!
