Nick Swisher: Released by Braves on Monday

Swisher was released by the Braves on Monday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Swisher put together a decent spring training, but there simply wasn't room for him on Atlanta's rebuilding roster, especially given his $15 million salary. He could prove to be a decent power bat off the bench for another team, although he'll have to prove that his health isn't a concern in order to garner much attention on the free agent market.
