Atlanta Braves general manager Alex Anthopoulos provided Braves Country confidence this offseason that the team's payroll could increase. But according to MLB.com's Mark Bowman, that increase, if there is one, will be small.
Bowman wrote on Jan. 23 that one source "suggested" to him that the Braves have about $33 million they could still spend this offseason. That gives the team enough wiggle room for 1-2 impactful free agent signings or trades.
That report gels with The Athletic's David O'Brien tweet on Jan. 22 where he argued he still expects a move or two for the Braves before the team begins Spring Training in February.
