This Day in Braves History: Atlanta trades Fred McGriff to Tampa Bay
Briefly

In 2005, Atlanta Braves third baseman Chipper Jones restructured his contract, reducing his salary by $6 million, potentially saving the team about $15 million over three seasons, allowing them to gain financial flexibility for future free agents.
The history of the Braves includes notable trades such as the 1997 deal that sent Fred McGriff to the expansion Tampa Bay Rays, marking a significant moment in the team's long legacy.
