yeah but the issue here is the payroll at the start of the year. Phillies were already butting up toward the luxury tax. They have 3 players making above 20M (Wheeler, Harper and Realmuto). The Braves had one (Freeman @22M). Morton is their 2nd highest paid player. Acuna, Albies, Swanson and Riley make a combined $15 million... Compare that to Harper, Wheeler, Realmuto and Cutch making a combined 88M
The Braves make mistakes too. They signed Hamels for 20M in 2020 and he threw 3 innings. But they have homegrown talent that is cheap so they can more easily sign players who are better than scrap heap types like Anderson and Moore
