In this episode of Braves Today, hosted by award-winning baseball writer and podcaster Lindsay Crosby, we delve into the Atlanta Braves' current offseason spending strategy. Despite having money left to spend, the Braves are waiting to make key decisions. Lindsay discusses the Braves' recent free agency moves, their current cash payroll, and Competitive Balance Tax (CBT) obligations. Additionally, he explains the team's strategic contingency fund for the trade deadline and why they don't want to spend until they get more info on the injury status of key players Sean Murphy and Joe Jimenez. Presented by FanDuel, this detailed analysis sheds light on the Braves' approach as they gear up for the 2026 season.
