The Braves made a one-year, $13.3 million qualifying offer to impending free agent Michael Bourn.
Not unexpected, as Bourn is reportedly seeking a contract in the range of $80-100 million on the open market. The speedy center fielder is expected to decline, which will set the Braves up for a compensatory draft pick if he signs elsewhere. Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com reported Friday that the Nationals are viewed as the early favorites to land him.
