Braves released RHP Takashi Saito.
Saito, 41 in Feburary, posted an impressive 2.83 ERA and 69/17 K/BB ratio over 54 innings with the Braves this past season, but he was bothered by shoulder problems and the Braves have a slew of quality young relievers on the way. The veteran righty should generate interest around the league.
Braves released OF Melky Cabrera.
Cabrera posted a poor .255/.317/.354 batting line and only four home runs in 458 at-bats this season and was due a raise from the $3.1 million that he collected via salary arbitration. He'll get a shot elsewhere, but the 26-year-old may never live up to the hype he generated in New York.
