Braves predicted to make shocking Ozzie Albies $7 million decision amid worst season of MLB career

When the Atlanta Braves signed Ozzie Albies to an early-career extension, it quickly looked like one of the most team-friendly contracts in MLB.

Somehow, Albies is making a case that he shouldn't get to the end of it.

The Braves would pay Albies $7 million in 2026 if they accept his option at the end of the year.

MLB.com's Mark Bowman predicts that Atlanta may choose to decline that.
