Braves' Ozzie Albies: Agrees to extension

Albies agreed to an extension with the Braves on Thursday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports Albies will make $35 million over seven years, beginning this season, with the Braves also securing a pair of $7 million team options on the end of the deal. The deal locks up another piece of Atlanta's young core and should keep Albies in what figures to be a strong lineup for years to come. Assuming the 22-year-old plays well enough for the Braves to pick up both options, he won't become a free agent until after the 2027 season.
