With my morning coffee.   I wasn't done looking yet but figured I'd share what I have so far.

Two guys the Braves signed at over $1 million are still remaining:

RHP Juan Contreras looks like he's worthy of some money.

Juan Carlos Negret is an 18 year old speedy outfielder who I can't find much on.

Others available are 21 year old Cuban outfielder Julio Pablo Martinez, .297/.345/.449 with seven homers and 20 steals in 57 games this past season.  In 2016-17 he put up .333/.469/.498 in 264 plate appearances with 52 walks, 30 strikeouts, six home runs and 24 stolen bases in 29 attempts.  Center Fielder in the mold of apparently what Dipoto wants there, speedy defensive. 

Jelfry Marte was released for vision issues?  What exactly that means I can't see anywhere.  Still worth pursuing at a lesser contract?

Submarine reliever Kazuhisa Makita was also posted but being 10 years older than Ohtani he wouldn't bee a way to spend the bonus money.
