So dumb

Albies released a statement:

"They are treating me very well. I have access to food and water. I am very happy in Atlanta. Alex Anthopolous has not ever threatened me with violence to sign an extension. I am being treated very well. I am happy."

Horrific deal for Albies. Acuna's was bad too but this is just pathetic. Looks like his agent didn't have the players best interests in mind and just wanted to get his cut

Granted Kiley has been exiled from pro baseball for his Braves shenanigans, so he's not an unbiased source, but that seems to be the only other explanation beyond a hostage situation.

This is borderline malpractice. Hockey players get paid more than Albies will.

Nothing borderline about it. These agents should have their certs immediately revoked. This is a joke, every single person I've talked too has only responded with "worst contract since Longoria, maybe ever".

I already know the apologists will say “no one put a gun to his head to sign th extension...HEIL OWNERS!!”

But agents have a fiduciary responsibility to act in the best interests of 22 year olds who know very little about finance. This agent is hurting his client and indirectly hurting tons of other clients.

Crazy deals for Atlanta. Finding two great players and both give club the Anthony Rizzo treatment.

I don't agree with it and think it's insane to leave the money they did one the table, but as a fan, I could care less what they make. If they're happy that's good enough.

This is like if OBJ signed a 5-year/$10million contract for the Giants. What in the ever-loving heck are the Braves doing in these negotiations?

You left out paying him all $10 million upfront and then trading him to Cleveland.
