This is easily the best move of the offseason. LFG.

Well that’s a relief

7 year extensions seem quite unprecedented in this industry. But it makes sense to tie AA to the core he signed through the end. Wonderful news

Best move of the offseason. Nobody i’d rather have than AA running the show.
This is why the Braves are a model organization.
THIS IS THE BEST NEWS ALL YEAR!!!
As I said 2 weeks ago, this is the move we needed to make this winter above all else. Adding a few wins on a 100 win roster is great, but the architect was the prize. I’m glad they got this done and I’m hoping AA got paid

Agreed. Best move of the offseason.
AA and McGuirk have rebuilt the organization into one the best in baseball after the Hart / Coppy fiasco.
AA has some work to do on the farm system to keep the division titles coming but I think he’s up to the task.
I’m sure Mets, Phillies and Nats fans are depressed the morning. lol.
Looks a bit sus to me. No mention of Atlanta Braves foundation at the end.

Time to avoid twitter the next two days so I don’t have to read all the dumb hot takes from Braves country on why this is a terrible move and how AA is an overrated GM.

What is the salary cap hit on this?

I am glad he now has the runway to make long term decisions.....

MLB doesn’t have a salary cap.
But what about the long-term risk if Anthopolous suffers a torn parietal lobe?

Your mom has a salary cap and we hit it all the time.

This sets AA up to be the guy deciding how to transition from the Acuna/Albies core onto whatever core comes next.
The Braves are pretty much set for 2024 and 2025, but after that things are going to get very interesting as the Albies and Acuna deals run their course. There currently doesn't seem to be any position player talent in the farm to step in, which makes Kelenic vitally important.
Why doesn't AA send 1% to the Foundation?
Seems like a great move. Should allow him to have the stability to think long term and short term.
