The Braves project to have a payroll of around $228 million next season. The Major League Baseball tax threshold is set at $233 million for 2023.

That leaves little wiggle room if the Braves are to re-sign Dansby Swanson, who will almost certainly receive a multi-year deal worth more than $100 million.
