After announcing his signing on Monday, the Braves have locked up 1B Matt Olson and gave him an eight-year extension, worth $168M.
When asked about his extension just one day after signing, Olson said, “I think it was a quick decision. When you look at everything, every box is checked here. Win a World Series, got a young core, my hometown, my family lives in Atlanta, the list could go on and on. To be able to get a long deal done and in my hometown is something that I jumped at.
