Atlanta Braves, the champion of the last World Series, signed the biggest deal for initialist Matt Olson on Tuesday after a union of major leagues and players ended last week's suspension of work, and it lasted 99 days.
Braves and Olson agreed to sign a contract for $168 million over 8 years. Orson arrived in Atlanta last week by trade from Oakland Athletics.
An agreement with the 27-year-old slugger was linked to the club by at least 2029. The agreement also includes a $20 million option in 2030.
Braves was in charge of meeting the greatest needs after having been unable to reach an agreement with Freddy Freeman, the outstanding first baseman, who is the stronghold of the team for more than a decade, and since 1995 he made an important contribution to Atlanta, who won the first World Series last year.
Orson came out of a great campaign last year, with 39 home runs and 111 RBI averaging 0.271. It will raise $15 million this year, $21 million in 2023, and $22 million in each of the following six campaigns.
This is the tenth contract of at least $100 million agreed since the last World Series, and the first since the end of the suspension.
In addition, it is the most juicy contract in the history of Braves, leaving $135 million in the 8 years that Freeman signed since the 2013 season.
