Great for Acuña to lock in $. Really great for Braves to get him on such a team-friendly deal for his prime. https://t.co/G1sluo6QY3

Win for Acuna, win for Braves fans, win for Braves front office.

Terrible for MLBPA. https://t.co/PSqvyWmRNr
Acuña signed for 100m now???

Great deal for the Braves. The guy may be worth 300m two years from now.
The Braves getting Acuña at $100 million is an absolute steal, especially considering he’ll be outright better than Harper in 2 years

I’m crying over here that Ronald Acuna, who has played in the majors for all of one season, is only getting a $100M contract. This is an atrocity.

That’s not big money for a top flight talent. Acuna should fire his agent.

In honor of Acuña getting an extension, let’s just take a look back at the best thing I’ve ever experienced in sports pic.twitter.com/TyTQkV0kOR

The amount of people that don't understand how player salaries/contracts in the MLB work, yet like to provide "insight" is astounding. The Acuna deal was good for both the Braves and Acuna.

My opinion: When you save as much future $ as #Braves seemingly did today with Acuna, it should compel to spend more today on something badly need — like Craig Kimbrel.

The Acuna deal is extremely bad for Acuna. Like shockingly bad.

Since the other angles have all been covered here, can we talk about the Acuña from a different angle?

How in the world was this the best his agent could do?!?!?!
In a free market, Acuña is a $25 to $30 million dollar a year player. Congrats to the Braves on paying less than half that for the next decade!

Acuña could have blown out his knee last year. I get that he may have left money on the table with this deal, but, if he blows out his knee this year, his family is set for life. https://t.co/9GyTkiJofi

Liberty Media locked up Acuna at a discount price. I hope it comes with the notion that they will spend that money to make sure Acuna, Freddie and company get the necessary help to win a World Series. https://t.co/E8mjn5MWN4

Did Acuña sell his earnings potential short six years from now? Yes

Could Acuña also now buy 17 Bentleys? Sure pic.twitter.com/dXtCyjCqbD
