Below is a look at where the Atlanta Braves’ payroll stands currently, with about a month to go before Spring Training. We will be tracking this and how it changes from now on and you will be able to find this resource along with the updated roster, regular season schedule and Spring Training schedule here.
The information below was collected from Cot’s Contracts and Fangraphs’ Roster Resource page.
Atlanta currently has 19 players who will make a salary above the league minimum salary in 2020. Shane Greene will have his salary set through arbitration, but for this exercise we will account for his salary with a $6.5 million projection. The $129ish million total assumes the final seven roster spots go to players who will be making the league minimum.
All numbers are current as of 2/9/20.
