As the Atlanta Braves head into Spring Training, they possess a luxury tax payroll around $230 million, slightly below the competitive balance tax threshold. Chairman Terry McGuirk has acknowledged the possibility of exceeding this threshold again this year, indicating the team has financial flexibility for additional spending. Despite a relatively quiet offseason, having only signed Jurickson Profar, the Braves seem open to further acquisitions, although significant payroll increases appear unlikely before Opening Day due to limited available free agents.
President of baseball operations Alex Anthopoulos stated that while the Braves are willing to exceed the competitive balance tax threshold, the likelihood of adding significant payroll is uncertain.
Chairman Terry McGuirk confirmed that the team is in a position to add spending and indicated there are possibilities for free agency moves this spring.
