Braves Roster and Payroll Update

Yesterday, the Braves went 2 for 4 by inking A.J. Minter and Max Fried to 2021 contracts and avoiding arbitration. Unfortunately, the Braves, who are a file and trial team, could not reach agreements with Dansby Swanson and Mike Soroka and will therefore continue toward arbitration unless an extension of some sort is worked out. In my opinion, both guys are extension candidates and it would be great to see something get worked out before the ugliness of arbitration occurs. Today’s Braves Roster and Payroll Update will focus on the bottom line and guess what is left for the Braves to spend either in trade or through free agency.
