Braves avoid arbitration with Tyler Matzek, A.J. Minter, Sean Newcomb
Atlanta has five players who will likely have their 2022 salaries set by an arbitrator.
Tuesday was exchange day for MLB players who are arbitration eligible for the upcoming season. The entire arbitration process was pushed back due to the lockout. The Atlanta Braves announced that they agreed to non-guaranteed contracts with relievers Sean Newcomb, A.J. Minter and Tyler Matzek avoiding arbitration.
The Braves still have five players who are arbitration eligible that will now go to trial. They are shortstop Dansby Swanson, outfielder Adam Duvall, third baseman Austin Riley, reliever Luke Jackson and starter Max Fried.
