With Dansby Swanson now a Chicago Cub, some insight on his free agency is beginning to be revealed. Mark Bowman of MLB.com presented an interesting tidbit on the Braves pursuit of Swanson on Sunday.
An extra $77 million will make you do that. Braves never increased their 6 yr. $100M offer. We knew Dansby would need to leave money on the table. But $25-40M is different than $77M, or $11M a year during his 7yr. deal. https://t.co/mlcxDgnRsa

The Braves offer that he is referring has been known for months, but Bowman goes further in saying the Braves never increased their offer.
