In an interview with Jeff Schultz via The Athletic, Braves GM Alex Anthopoulos dropped a nice surprise on fans as he said that the team has financially benefitted from being back open at full capacity and ownership has given him the green light to add to the team’s payroll should a real need arise. Luckily for Anthopoulos, there are plenty of needs and the Braves could be adding in all facets of the team. Hopefully the Braves will be recouping some of Marcell Ozuna’s 2021 salary (and beyond), there could be more than we realize.
Today’s piece will focus on players from American League teams that come with lofty financials that Anthopoulos could find of some interest.
