\"Braves<\/p>\n

While David O\u2019Brien of The Athletic<\/em> speculates the Braves are trying to reset their luxury tax penalties this year, another Atlanta beat reporter is suggesting otherwise.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome ask my take on Braves\u2019 inactivity. I still expect a move or two, probably via trade and hopefully not signing Scherzer when they could\u2019ve just kept Morton at that kind of price. It seems obvious they\u2019re determined to stay below luxury tax and reset penalties for 2026 (more),\u201d O\u2019Brien tweeted.<\/p>\n

O\u2019Brien speculates that Alex Anthopoulos could view the 2025 campaign as a year to see certain players bounce back from injuries and other shortcomings. Then in 2026, the Braves could make their \u201call-in\u201d moves. Mark Bowman is reporting something else entirely.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne source recently suggested the Braves have approximately $33 million to spend this offseason. This would put them slightly over the luxury tax\u2019s first threshold, a hurdle president of baseball operations Alex Anthopoulos said he\u2019s willing to clear,\u201d Bowman writes.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s good to hear, and it matches what Anthopoulos said earlier in the offseason in an appearance on 680 The Fan<\/em>. Atlanta\u2019s GM noted that finances aren\u2019t restricting the Braves from making moves, and even if DOB speculates they are, Bowman and the man himself, Alex Anthopoulos, are saying something else.<\/p>\n

Now, that doesn\u2019t mean the club is going to spend money because they\u2019ve got it in their pockets. Anthopoulos has never done that. It\u2019s about spending dollars and cents wisely. Nobody is more efficient in allocating payroll than the Atlanta Braves, but it doesn\u2019t mean they\u2019re cash-poor. That\u2019s not the case.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
