Nick Swisher cut by Braves despite being owed $15 million
The Atlanta Braves have released first baseman/outfielder Nick Swisher, the

will be covered by Cleveland, which traded him to Atlanta last year.

Swisher hit .196/.312/.320 with six homers and 25 RBI last season with the
Indians and Braves. He batted .238 in 17 exhibition games with the Braves
