ATLANTA — “Life moves fast,” Michael Harris II said, the Atlanta Braves 21-year-old phenom flanked by a man who most certainly was operating with a swiftness of his own.
After a mere 71 games, general manager Alex Anthopoulos had signed Harris to an eight-year, $72 million extension, which includes two years of extensions that could push it to 10 years and $102 million.
“I think it’s important when we have a chance to have players that it means something to be a Brave, and it’s important for them to be here,” Anthopoulos said Wednesday.
