Outfield: Braves and Abreu, Kielty is McDonald

by Matthew Cerrone on January 30th, 2009 at 10:50 am

David O’Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution believes the Braves would prefer to first sign Bobby Abreu, or look to trade for Xavier Nady or Nick Swisher, or, lastly, sign Adam Dunn, who is seeking $14 million per season.

The Braves have between $5 and $9 million to spend, according to the report.

Meanwhile, Mark Bowman of MLB.com believes it is now doubtful the Braves bring back Andruw Jones, because he is still looking for a major league deal.
