Atlanta Braves Have Signed These Seven Players to 7+ Year Extensions
The Atlanta Braves locked up another member of their core Tuesday, agreeing to a seven-year extension with newly-acquired Sean Murphy, with a club option for an eighth year.
The Braves have now given out extensions of seven or more years to the following players, since 2019:
Ozzie Albies: 7 years, $35 million
Ronald Acuna Jr.: 8 years, $100 million
Matt Olson: 8 years, $168 million
Austin Riley: 10 years, $212 million
Michael Harris II: 8 years, $72 million
Spencer Strider: 7 years, $92 million
Murphy: 7 years, $88 million
Braves executive Alex Anthopolous has put on a masterful display of extending players and keeping his core intact. He lost Dansby Swanson and Freddie Freeman to free agency, but found a worthy replacement for Freeman in Matt Olson, and is now tasked with the challenge of replacing Swanson.
