📊 A contract home run that sounds like dollars
The Atlanta Braves’ management decided to leave nothing to chance and exercised its 2027 option on Ronald Acuña Jr., valued at $17 million. That puts to rest rumors of a potential change of uniform and confirms that the Venezuelan will play his tenth year with the team that saw him make his debut in 2018 and win Rookie of the Year. The original contract, signed in 2019 for $100 million over eight seasons, had already run its course; now extension clauses come into play, and Atlanta still has another similar window for 2028.
