David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution believes that the Braves have at least $7 million left in their offseason budget.
The Braves shed the $11.5 million owed to Javier Vazquez last week and quickly nabbed Troy Glaus to play first base for around $2 million. They aren't done. Frank Wren is still considering another bat, possibly an Xavier Nady-type who can play left field and first base, or second baseman Dan Uggla, returning Martin Prado to his familiar super-utility role. According to O'Brien, the newly-acquired Melky Cabrera could be a trade chip in a possible deal for Uggla or an outfielder. Source: Atlanta Journal-Constitution
