Michael Harris Extension Reportedly Coming

Anyone else find it interesting this is even out there? The Braves always just drop an Twitter announcement once it’s done. Never hear about this stuff beforehand.

Honestly not sure. If so the cost for 6 years of control would increase from $30M to over $40M, so then the 8/72 makes more sense.

Historically the first half of June is the cutoff date. Harris was called up May 28th so I'd say it's likely he would of been one.

Also there is the possibility he wins ROY and gains a full year of service time anyways. So the extension would cover 3 FA years in that scenario.
 
Harris debuted on May 28th. That will give him like 130 days of service time in 2022. The super 2 cutoff is usually less than 130 (116 last year), so Harris probably was going to get 4 years of arb.

That puts his 6 years of control at roughly $2 for the pre arb years, then something like $40M-$50M for the 4 arb years.

So the Braves likely got 2 FA years for $10M-$15M each, which is a pretty great value.
 
"An eight-year deal beginning in the 2023 season would buy out all six of Harris’ years of club control — he debuted too late in the 2022 season to accrue a full season of service time before season’s end, barring a top-two finish in Rookie of the Year voting — as well as his first two free-agent years."

3 FA years if he's top-two in ROY, which is a near certainty.
 
I’m guessing the deal breaks down as

2023: $1M pre arb
2024: $1M pre arb
2025: $5M arb 1
2026: $10M arb 2
2027: $14M arb 3
2028: $14M arb 4
2029: $14M FA 1
2030: $14M FA 2
2031: $15M option

Not sure you are factoring in that if he finishes in the top 3 of ROY he will get the full year of service time.
 
Thought our beat writers would get something on this postgame but they’ve all gone silent. Maybe they were asked to wait for official announcement? Or maybe the postgame press box spread got put out.

Yeah I think top-two is a near certainty at this point. My money is on Strider to win it at the moment but Harris is far and away the 2nd best rookie in the league this year. So getting 3 FA years at that price seems like a great deal.
