The Atlanta Braves have reportedly locked in cornerstone players Ronald Acuña Jr. and Ozzie Albies to contract extensions described as shocking bargains, according to a report from ATL Braves Country published Tuesday.
The report, authored by Marcus Tidwell, indicates the franchise has secured long-term commitments from both stars at below-market values, though specific financial terms and contract lengths were not disclosed in the initial announcement.
Acuña, the 2023 National League MVP, and Albies, a two-time All-Star second baseman, form the core of Atlanta's lineup. Their extensions would continue a trend of the Braves signing key players to team-friendly deals well before free agency.
Further details on the structure and value of the agreements are expected to be released by the club in the coming days.
