I don't really like keeping Ozuna after what he did, but I do like the looks of this.
Braves extend Matt Olson for an 8 year 168 million dollar contract that will run through 2029.
edit: not really much different from what freddie wanted honestly
That lineup is worth about a gazillion HR's a season.
SHEESH
Maybe not as tight fisted as some would have us believe.
yeah I think AA earnestly thinks Olson might be better
Per year and by age it is different enough to matter.
True, but we don't know how old Pujols and Miggy really are. Some people think Pujols is up to 5 years older than he says. Both players were great at really young ages and had steep drop offs before they should have.
It doesn't make sense to have both Ozuna and Soler. Both are atrocious at defense and only one of them can be the DH.
It was impressive how much those deals happened to work out in the Braves favor. None of those outfielders were really wanted by anyone else and weren't expected to be difference makers. Duvall is probably the most consistent, but the rest of them exploded at different key points to help the Braves through the playoffs. Joc in the Division Series, Rosario in the NLCS, and Soler in the WS.
That's 21 Million a year. Freddie will be closer to 30 Million a year.
26 at most
That's how much the Braves were offering, correct? You don't think New York, Boston, or LA offers more?
Braves offered 5 year 130 million which is 26 per year
And he didn't accept it.
Which wasn't enough. "According to sources, the reigning World Series Champion is seeking a six year deal that is worth around $180 million."
Except Olson is four years younger.
Agree, they need to sign Rosario instead of Soler. Better outfielder and better hitter (maybe not so much power) and he was the NLCS MVP!
Gazillion sounds about right......
