The Braves cut ties to Marcus Giles on Tuesday, deciding they could no longer afford the second baseman under their ever-tightening budget.

The Braves pushed hard to trade Giles during the winter meetings, but couldn't work out a deal for someone to take their leadoff hitter from this past season. So they declined to tender him a contract for 2007.
