    MLBTR just posted a good breakdown of all the recent pre-arb extensions:

    https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2018/...bitration.html

    A Swanson extension isn't likely due to his struggles, but Albies and Acuna are candidates.

    The record extension for a player with less than 1 year of service time is Anderson's 6/25 deal with 2 options ($12.5M and $14M). A similar deal with Albies would guarantee his age 21-26 season, and give the Braves options over his age 27 and 28 seasons. This is a deal I think the Braves should strongly consider, especially if they can use some funds from this year as a signing bonus that covers a chunk of the overall deal.

    The record extension for a player with no service time is $10M to Singleton. The Astros essentially guaranteed Singleton $10M over his pre-arb years and first arb year in exchange for 1 FA year option. The deal was signed the moment Singleton was promoted after the Super 2 cutoff. Would a similar deal make sense for Acuna? Should the Braves guarantee him ~$10M through age 24 in exchange for a ~$15M option over his age 27 season? It seems like Acuna might be a good enough prospect to gamble $10M with the hopes of tripling that money in surplus value when he is 27.

    I still say you extend them all and get options. Even if the last options are 20 plus million. Try to lock all 3 up to age 29.

    One of those guys will hit and be worth all 3 deals. Without major injury I don’t think any of those guys are going to kill you under 10 million

    Agreed with this. Just their defensive contributions will justify the total dollar commitment.

    We should have hired Torquemada as GM. He would have gotten the job done.

    Albies in particular might benefit from some new stretches.

    Yes, Torquemada could help him reach his full potential.
