NEW YORK (AP) -- Grant Dayton will notice one glaring absence this season after he reports to the Atlanta Braves: his twice-a-month salary.
He is among 11 major leaguers whose prorated pay for the abbreviated 60-game season amounts to less than the $286,500 advance already received by the 32-year-old left-hander.
''It's going to be weird not getting a paycheck,'' he said Friday, ''but we already got paid.''
Dayton will drive Monday from his home in Winter Haven, Florida, to Atlanta with wife Cori, 2 1/2-year-old son Decker and nearly 6-month-old Nolan for the resumption of workouts when the Braves gather at renamed Truist Park.
