Braves still in on Swisher

From Jayson Stark (SI):

In the meantime, the Braves seem to have emerged as the club most interested in Yankees outfielder Nick Swisher. But there are indications the teams got hung up when the Braves asked the Yankees to eat some of the $22.05 million Swisher has coming over the next three years — and got turned down flat.

The Braves are being cheap (maybe they feel burned after the Burnett move). Granted, in this market Swisher’s contract is somewhat costly, however, once Swisher and the market rebounds, he’ll be a steal.
