Sounds like Ozzie has a agreed to a deal that values him as a 1 WAR player.
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
It is hard to understate what the Acuna and Albies deals mean for the window of contention.
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."

Are the terms official? I would think it would be 5/35 for his arb years and then 2 option years at what appears to be 7 million a piece. 5/35 would make sense on both ends, but obviously the 2 option years are hugely in favor of Atl. If it's 7/35, well then that's just highway robbery for Atl.

These deals can help the Braves sign a big time free agent, Encheff will laugh. But they are laughably team friendly.
Since everyone is giving up money, what would a Freeman extension look like?
Maybe next April Fool's Day the Braves, Acuna and Albies will just announce this was all just a big April Fool's joke on Braves' fans.

No probably to it.
With as little as the Braves got away paying Acuna and Albies, there should be no excuse for not having money for free agents and being in on anyone on the free agent market that makes sense this next offseason or at the trade deadline.
Crazy good and cheap extensions!
Man this is a freakin steal. If Dansby has a breakout year he won’t be so cheap Bc he got a big bonus already so he’ll cost more.
