Title: The Braves lock up Acuna
Post by: Black Diamond Vol on April 02, 2019, 07:58:59 EDT
8 years, $100M, plus two club option years at $17M per.

I don't know what kind of Jedi mind trick they played on him to get him to take that deal, but I'm happy about it. What a steal.

Now they have no excuses not to go out and get him some help. Acuna's upcoming arbitration years and his possible re-signing were always the looming shadow that excused Liberty Media from spending real money now- now that's been resolved, and in a VERY team-friendly manner. It's time to REALLY go for it.

They started slow against the Phillies. Cubs played terrible last night, which is good. Acuna was a no-brainer. They got him cheap.

Given what Harper and Trout got, this will be the bargain of the decade.
