Braves agree to eight year, $72 million extension with Michael Harris

The Braves got the extension done.

Earlier this evening, Braves’ fans everywhere were greeted to reports that the team was deep in talks with Michael Harris on an eight year contract extension. The early reports from Jon Heyman and elsewhere were that the deal was, assuming it was completely, going to be somewhere in the realm of $72 million.

The deal got done and it includes some club options as well.

This deal could end up being an absolute steal for the Braves if Michael Harris’ production stays anywhere close to what he has put up so far in the big leagues.
