The Atlanta Braves released high-priced outfielder Nick Swisher on Monday, ditching a former All-Star whose numbers plummeted the last two seasons. The team won’t take much of a financial hit, even though Swisher is guaranteed $15 million this season. The Braves are set to receive a total of $14,631,148 from the Cleveland Indians by June 30 as part of last season’s trade that brought Swisher and outfielder Michael Bourn to Atlanta for third baseman Chris Johnson.
