Thread title has a typo.
"For all his tattooings he was on the whole a clean, comely looking cannibal."
Another informed take explaining how great this is for the Braves:

I'm excited to see us start extenting young talent again. And I'm super stoked to see what contract we sign a FA to that we have to bundle Acuna with in order to unload

I mean...damn.
I almost feel bad for Acuna. Almost.

While Acuna could have earned more by taking on risk, it’s fair to point out he’s a guy five years away from FA, with a half season in the majors that just got a 100m guarantee.
It’s a great deal for Braves, but not at all one that’s without risk. Stars sometimes fizzle.

Some players are motivated by the dollar amount (see Harper), others prioritize things like security or playing where they want over the total dollar amount (see Chipper). Who's to say one is right?
