The Atlanta Braves joined the list of Major League teams extending their young stars today when they agreed with Ronald Acuna Jr. on an 8-year/$90M deal with a $10M (minimum) buyout clause that brings the total value of the basic deal to $100M.
Yahoo’s Jeff Passan broke the story and reports that (Twitter link) the option years are worth $17M each meaning the Braves young superstar would earn $124M if both options are picked up.
The only cloud on the horizon is lack of word on a no-trade clause (though no Atlanta player has ever received one in the past).
