Dane Dunning's net worth in 2025: From salary to trade bonuses, all about new Atlanta Braves pitcher
After making his debut in 2020 and winning a World Series with Texas in 2023, Dunning now finds himself in Atlanta following a midseason trade. While his ERA and role have fluctuated, one thing hasn't: his ability to keep earning through every team change and innings milestone.
Contract structure and incentive payouts
According to Spotrac, Dunning signed a one-year, USD 2.66 million arbitration deal for the 2025 season (approx. INR 22.9 crore). The contract includes built-in performance bonuses: USD 50,000 (approx. INR 43,07,960) for hitting key inning benchmarks between 30 and 60.
It then jumps to USD 75,000 and 80,000 payouts (approx. INR 64,61,940 and 68,92,736) as he climbs from 70 to 90 and 100 to 150 innings respectively. With 2025 already including multiple appearances across the majors and Triple-A, those figures are now within reach. The Korean-American is expected to re-enter arbitration in 2026 before becoming a free agent in 2027.
Trades, career highlights, and personal income growth
Dunning has bounced across four MLB organizations— Washington, Chicago, Texas, and now Atlanta. But it was his time in Arlington that gave him the biggest bump: a key role in the Rangers' 2023 World Series run and a 12-win season that year raised his profile and income. He's also taken on endorsement work and public appearances, further padding his earnings.
Add in postseason bonuses, a 2023 career peak, and a 2025 deal with Atlanta—Dunning's finances are steady and growing, even if his jersey keeps changing. Per Mabumbe, his net worth is between USD 4 and 5 million (approx. between INR 34.46 and 43.08 crore), as of July 2025.

Best of BS Opinion: When the earth shakes beneath power, policy, and trade
You don't feel the earthquake at first. It starts deep below, invisible. A low grumble, a slight creak in the furniture, the ceiling fan swinging oddly, a dog barking at nothing. You brush it off. But then the cupboard groans, your feet slide slightly, and the mug on the table does a tiny shake. That's when you realise something deeper is shifting. That's how the world feels like currently — not like a storm crashing through the door, but like everything is shifting slowly, deeply, leaving cracks in what we thought was solid. Let's dive in. One tremor came from the RBI, which stood unnervingly still. As our first editorial notes, despite lower inflation projections and expectations of a rate cut, the central bank kept repo rates unchanged at 5.5 per cent. Why? Because the next jolt may be inbound. Food price volatility, global oil games, and geopolitical tensions all hint at aftershocks. The RBI, aware that too much easing could trigger instability, chose to grip the table and steady the china. Liquidity was eased, but policy intent stayed tight. The real message being: brace for long-term tectonics. Meanwhile, the ground is cracking next door. Our second editorial highlights how post-Hasina Bangladesh has gone from a beacon of growth to a cauldron of Islamist volatility. The power vacuum is being filled by Islamist forces backed by Pakistan and China. The ready-made garments sector, once the backbone of the economy, is collapsing — factories shut, women pushed into unemployment, growth halved. For India, this isn't just a neighbour's quake, it's a regional fault line demanding careful navigation and patient diplomacy. From afar, Donald Trump's tariff shock felt like a seismic wave sent across the Pacific. Ajay Chhibber explains how India now faces a 50 per cent tariff wall from its biggest export partner. For 'Mission 500' and India's $2 trillion export ambition, this could be a wrecking ball. But instead of panic, India must do a structural scan and reform internally, engage externally, and resist caving into American fault lines. And then there's the carbon quake looming from Europe. Rajeev Kher and Anshuman Gupta unpack the EU's CBAM, which threatens Indian iron, steel, and aluminium exports with carbon tolls. Big firms may stay standing, but small businesses with little capital to retrofit or report emissions could be crushed. Without swift support and smart diplomacy, this environmental shift might shake up entire export corridors. Amid the instability, a quieter kind of leadership shines through. Neha Bhatt reviews Jacinda Ardern's memoir, A Different Kind of Power, where personal and political tremors are met with calm, empathy, and grace. Her resilience through tragedy offers a blueprint not of shock absorption, but of human-centred navigation. Stay tuned!

Trump announces 100% tariff on computer chips and semiconductors, exempts firms 'building in US'
Trump has announced a 100 per cent tariff on imported computer chips and semiconductors, aiming to push companies to manufacture them within the country. The move which exempts US-based producers. read more Trump has taken an extraordinary bet on the importance of American market in global economy and believes that he has a leverage so unique that he can do almost anything. Image: AFP US President Donald Trump on Wednesday (August 6, local time) announced plans to impose a 100 per cent tariff on computer chips and semiconductors, while exempting companies that manufacture them within the United States. The move is expected to drive up the cost of a wide range of electronics, cars, appliances, and other essential tech-driven products. 'We'll be putting a tariff on of approximately 100 per cent on chips and semiconductors,' Trump said while speaking at the Oval Office. 'But if you're building in the United States of America, there's no charge.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The announcement follows Trump's decision to impose an additional 25 per cent tariff on Indian goods over its continued oil trade with Russia, effectively doubling the overall tariff rate to 50 per cent. The new tariffs are scheduled to take effect in 21 days, allowing time for India and Russia to negotiate with the US administration over the proposed import duties. The global chip shortage during the Covid-19 pandemic had already led to rising car prices and contributed to broader inflation. Since then, demand for semiconductors has continued to surge, with global sales rising 19.6 per cent in the 12 months ending June, according to the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics organization. Trump's latest tariff move marks a sharp departure from current strategies aimed at boosting domestic chip production through subsidies and incentives. Instead, he's opting for a more aggressive approach, using tariffs as leverage to push companies to manufacture within the US. By making imported chips more expensive, Trump is betting that firms will be compelled to shift production domestically, even if it risks squeezing profits and raising consumer prices on products like smartphones, televisions, and appliances.

With Trump's 25% Tariff Imposed, How Much More Could India Lose If Russian Oil Is Next?
New Delhi: India now faces a full-blown tariff offensive from Washington. U.S. President Donald Trump has already imposed a 25% tariff on Indian exports, alongside a 10% penalty aimed at punishing India's continued energy trade with Russia. The combined blow could push duties on Indian goods to 35%, shaking the foundations of one of India's largest trade relationships. According to an internal government assessment, the new measures directly affect nearly $64 billion worth of Indian exports to the United States, roughly 80% of total outbound goods to the country. Four senior officials, familiar with the matter, confirmed the estimates. 'The impact is real and immediate,' said one of the sources, flagging potential export losses due to price disadvantages. India exported around $81 billion worth of goods to the United States in 2024. Sectors such as garments, pharma, petrochemicals, gems and jewellery now stand at risk of losing their edge in the global market, especially when competing against countries not facing such steep tariffs. The government has acknowledged the looming fallout. 'The erosion of price competitiveness is already visible,' said another official, pointing to intensified rivalry from nations facing lower duties. The high-value items now caught in this tariff net had so far enjoyed relative strength in the U.S. market. Trump on Tuesday declared that the 25% tariff would rise 'substantially within 24 hours' and followed through. On Wednesday, he announced his administration would finalise the Russian oil penalty after assessing progress on its Ukraine policy push. Last week, Trump lumped India with Russia, calling both 'dead economies' and accusing New Delhi of maintaining unfair trade barriers and backing Moscow through energy purchases. The rhetoric found sharp resonance in the new trade measures, signalling a hard pivot in U.S.-India economic ties. Despite the escalation, the Reserve Bank of India stayed firm. In a post-policy meeting on Wednesday, it left GDP growth forecasts unchanged at 6.5% for the current fiscal year. Interest rates also remained steady. RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra addressed the brewing storm by stating, 'We are contributing about 18% to global growth, more than the United States, which is contributing about 11%,' he said. He dismissed the 'dead economy' label and pointed to India's momentum. He also cited International Monetary Fund (IMF) figures projecting India's 2025 growth at 6.4%, compared to America's 1.9%. India's global goods exports stood at $443 billion in 2024, with the United States accounting for nearly a fifth of that. The latest penalties threaten to drag down a major chunk of this pipeline. The internal trade impact report emphasises that losses may not only come from reduced volumes but also from long-term erosion in market share. Sectors that had steadily built footholds in the American market now face re-evaluation and possibly redirection. As of now, India is holding its line diplomatically while crunching numbers and exploring trade alternatives. But with Trump's tariff hammer already falling, the damage may already be underway.
