Atlanta Braves
By Justin Toscano, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Nov 15, 2022
The expected became official Tuesday: Dansby Swanson rejected the Braves’
qualifying offer, according to multiple people with knowledge of the situation.
Don’t fret yet, though. This doesn’t mean the Braves won’t re-sign Swanson.
ExploreMore AJC coverage of the Braves
Swanson turned down the one-year, $19.65 million qualifying offer – which is
normal for free agents of his caliber – because he can make more on the open
market. He almost certainly will be able to earn a multi-year contract with an
average annual value greater than the Braves’ qualifying offer.
But by extending the qualifying offer, the Braves ensured they’ll receive
draft-pick compensation if Swanson signs elsewhere in free agency.
So, what’s next?

Congratulations! You're all set!
It could be a period of waiting. Or maybe the sides come together to strike a
deal.
We know this: The Braves are serious about re-signing Swanson, who seems like he
wants to stay. Both sides have incentive to continue their partnership if the
price works for both.
Why wouldn’t the Braves want Swanson? He might be the best defensive shortstop
in baseball, and he’s the captain of their clubhouse? And why wouldn’t Swanson
want to return? Anthopoulos has set up the Braves for sustained success, and
staying in Atlanta probably gives Swanson a better situation than many other
teams can provide him.
The Braves discussed a contract extension with Swanson’s camp during the second
half of the season. Publicly, president of baseball operations Alex Anthopoulos
has praised Swanson – for his leadership and his on-field performance. On the
record, Swanson also has expressed his desire to continue wearing the Braves
uniform.
All signs point to both sides having interest in continuing the relationship. Of
course, anything can occur in free agency, and Swanson has earned the right to
test the open market. He’s a terrific ballplayer who’ll surely have suitors.
Trea Turner, Carlos Correa and Xander Bogaerts are viewed as the top three
shortstops on the market this winter. All probably will cost more than Swanson.
Swanson rejecting the qualifying offer was expected. He can earn a better deal
by diving into free agency – and that contract could come from the Braves.
Tuesday’s news doesn’t change much. The waiting continues.
Braves protect players from Rule 5 draft
Tuesday also marked the deadline for a club to add players to its 40-man roster
to protect those players from the Rule 5 draft.
The Braves on Tuesday selected right-hander Roddery Muñoz, infielder Braden
Shewmake and right-hander Darius Vines to their major-league roster. They
designated fan-favorite Guillermo Heredia for assignment, and did the same to
right-handers William Woods and Silvino Bracho.
Shewmake, a shortstop, spent 2022 at Triple-A Gwinnett. He’s the organization’s
No. 5 prospect, per MLB Pipeline.
Muñoz was at High-A Rome before the Braves promoted him to Double-A Mississippi
and posted a 4.66 ERA over 22 starts at those levels.
Across Double-A and Triple-A in 2022, Vines recorded a 3.77 ERA over 27 games –
25 of them starts.
Players signed at age 18 or younger must be added to the 40-man roster within
five seasons or they become exposed to the Rule 5 Draft. Those who signed at age
19 or older need to be protected within four seasons.
This year’s Rule 5 Draft will be held Dec. 7 at the Winter Meetings in San
Diego.
