It’s contract extension season! The Giants just locked up ace pitcher Logan Webb to a five-year deal, following the lead of the Atlanta Braves who have committed to several young playes recently. Ronald Acuña Jr., Matt Olson, Austin Riley, Sean Murphy, Spencer Strider, and Michael Harris II are all signed through 2026, ensuring the Braves will have their young core for the next few seasons.
The Braves have jumped out to a 9-4 start, sweeping the Cardinals and Reds already this year. They return much of the offense that finished third in all of baseball in runs scored last year, although they are missing Harris due to injury.
