While the dust hasn’t settled on the 2022-2023 MLB offseason yet, it’s looking likely that when it does, we’ll have a pretty sizable jump in the cost of a win in free agency. This jump has been driven by a handful of teams, but as you’re probably well aware, not the Braves. Instead, Alex Anthopoulos and the rest of the Braves’ Front Office have taken a different approach, loading up their roster and budget with extensions for parts of their young core.
Given that for a baseball fan, winter is long and dreary, I figured it might be handy to throw some reference material together for the seven extensions that have a huge part of the Atlanta Braves’ core locked up for the next half-decade or so.
