"Dubon is pretty much a lock because, well, they traded for him and his modest-but-higher-than-Nick-Allen's-would-have-been arbitration-eligible salary. Lee and White seem like near-locks because they aren't due very much (likely at or under $2 million) and because they've been useful for the Braves. Manoah is kind of a weird case because he was claimed with full knowledge that he'd need to be tendered to be retained,"
"Wentz seems cheap (around $1 million) for his potential production. Suarez and Payamps, who knows: Suarez' likely salary isn't an impediment but you could probably sign him, or someone like him, to a minor league deal; Payamps has the highest projected salary of this group (somewhere in the $3-$4 million range) and was awful last year."
After Vidal Brujan's split contract, the Braves hold seven arbitration-eligible players who could be non-tendered before the deadline. Dubon is effectively guaranteed a tender because he was acquired via trade and carries a modest arbitration salary. Lee and White are likely to be tendered due to low projected salaries (around or under $2 million) and useful roles. Manoah represents an unusual case since he was claimed knowing tendering was required. Wentz offers upside at a low cost. Suarez could be re-signed on a minor league deal, while Payamps carries the highest projected salary and the greatest risk of non-tender.
