Atlanta Braves Cut Outfielders Emilio Bonifacio and Michael Bourn, Drew Stubbs Makes Team

The Atlanta Braves have officially announced more roster moves for the 2016 season. Outfielder Michael Bourn and infielder/outfielder Emilio Bonifacio were cut on Saturday morning. Also, recently signed outfielder Drew Stubbs has made the team as well as relief pitcher Alexi Ogando.

In what seems like a surprise move by the front office to DFA Bourn, the Braves will still owe him $14 million this season. With Nick Swisher‘s contract and Bourn’s Atlanta will be paying $29 million to players who won’t see an inning for the Braves.
