Extenting Acuna

[Enscheff]

Worth a bump. I was hoping for the above 165M/10 years. AA got him to sign for 124M/10 years. Amazin. Easily the best (in terms of being team friendly) of the extensions we've seen lately.

The 8/100 portion was pretty much expected, and is almost exactly what happened. I detailed that several times in this thread.

The crazy portion is the 2 option years at $17M each. I have no idea why Acuna agreed to that, but those option years push this from good to great for the Braves.

Its almost beyond belief how good those extra two years are for the Braves in my opinion. It might be the best extension I've ever seen for a team, considering what we are expecting of Acuna. If he is a 5 win player over those 10 years, we're talking about a obscene amount of surplus value.
