The Braves have agreed to terms with second baseman Ozzie Albies on a seven-year contract extension through 2025.
The deal is worth a guaranteed $35 million, and the Braves also will hold club options for the 2026 and 2027 seasons.
Albies, 22, a National League All-Star last year, is off to a strong start this season, hitting .364 (16-for-44) through 11 games. He finished last season with a .261 batting average, 24 home runs and 40 doubles.
The deal with Albies comes only nine days after the Braves announced an eight-year, $100 million contract extension through 2026 with outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr.. The Acuna deal also includes two team-option years that could extend it through 2028.
So if the option years are exercised on both contracts, the Braves can keep Albies through 2027 and Acuna through 2028.
