[UNCBlue012]

The Atlanta #Braves have signed 3B Austin Riley to a 10-year contract worth $212 million. Holy cow!

Have to think Acuna and albies gonna be pissed. Regardless, great job, AA

Holy sheet! Great stuff!

I'd imagine we'll re-do their deals at some point.

 

[msstate7]

How many years of albies, Acuna, Harris, Riley, and Olson does this ensure?

 

[Mad Dog Murph]

Hell yea

I think we have all until 2027. Just looked at Albies deal and yeah, AA's gonna have to re-do that at some point.

Very nice.

Gotta start thinking pitching

That’s actually a great deal in terms of AAV and the time we’ve got him locked up for.

AA is literally the GOAT.

There has to be an opt out in there some where lol

 

[jpx7]

A $21.2m AAV still seems like a bargain, and isn't so much more than Acuña's AAV (even if he's nevertheless underpaid over the life of that deal).

But the Albies contract is still a joke of a bargain, in comparison.

Lock up Bae or Correa and the infield is basically set for the window.

Nah it's full 10 years. Riley probably didnt wanna leave, and said i'll stay.

I'd hope we re-do Albies deal at some point, he's making pennies compares to others. What kind of deal would you give Max if you could, pitcher contracts are tricky though.

 

[thewupk]

22 per in his free agent years? Have to think that's a win.

He learned a lesson from Freeman's lachrymose displays.

 

[Hudson2]

Yeah didn’t see this coming. 21 average AAV is a big time bargain. Riley seems like a good dude that isn’t out for the most money and this proves it. Super pumped about this. Lock up Fried next

Dansby deal could be next
