11 comments

1. For Acuña Jr., a similar short term deal?

   Done.

   Sign here.

   Date here.

2. Acuña jr is MVP, rookie of the year 40HR and 70SB season a true 5 tool player, If next year he stays healthy and puts the numbers Many teams are going to open the wallet

3. Acuna going to the Mets or dodgers braves won't be able to afford him he's way better than Kyle Tucker he's worth more than tucker

4. It depends more on how serious Ronald is about wanting to be a Brave for life! Thanks Jake. GO BRAVES!!

5. What they should do is offer him 10 years $380M. Except they should do it 2 years ago. The only way he is staying now is because he just wants to. They already missed their chance to show they appreciate and value him. They could have offered him a back loaded deal, maybe even for like $30M AAV a couple years ago. He would be taking under market, THEY would be showing their appreciation by letting him make more money now instead of waiting to play out his existing contract. That's how you get guys to take big discounts. That's what they did for everyone they have extended long-term except Riley and Olson who came here with only 1 year of control. Ozzie had 4 years when he extended. Took a lowball deal. Ronald had 5 years of control when he extended. Took a low deal. Strider and Harris each had 5 years and change of control and took low end deals. Ronald has 2 option years after this year. He's almost at the end of the tunnel. Why take a low offer now? They have lost their leverage.

6. We need a Lockout to bring the market back down to Earth

7. Oh well. Keep him another year or so then trade him for prospects

8. They couldn't afford him before that signing. Don't kid yourself

9. Guys just enjoy Acuña for the remaining time he has here.

10. They weren't gonna spend enough to land him BEFORE that deal……….

11. Acuña tiene que ganar al menos una série mundial con los Valientes Bravos.
