Remember reading an article a few weeks back suggesting these extensions are getting done because the agents are pushing them so they can get paid now. Wasn't sold on that. However it does seem to be partly the case.

Even though I think we all agree Albies would have gotten way more, maybe he wanted the security of being done with it.
I’m not saying it’s likely but he could get injured tomorrow, struggle to recover, and be out of baseball just like that.
$35-$45 mil might seem like nothing considering the contracts players get these days but that’s a sh*t load of money in the real world.
Maybe that’s enough for him, who knows what actually went down and how aware he is."One day I won't be able to lift any more. Not I won't want to lift. I mean physically unable. That day could be decades from now or it could be tomorrow. All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."

I don’t really think Acunas was all that favorable when you break it down. He’s still getting $124/10 (assuming options exercised)
Half of those years he’s not making 12.4 mil a year because he’s not set to hit arb for 3 years and then the first two arb years aren’t automatically shoot him up to $12 mil.
Then add in the fact he’s not guaranteed to be some huge superstar. Yeah he looks good and well on his way but consistency matters and isn’t established.
If he turns into a superstar, yeah then obviously the Braves saved here. But if he doesn’t, just as likely to be in Acunas favor.
Albies is essentially a raping but Acunas is a pretty fair deal when you consider the uncertainties of everything and current pre-arb and arb pay structure.
Now as a Braves fan I fully expect him to be a superstar so it’s a great deal from my perspective. But an unbiased look trying to figure out value.... what he got was probably about right."One day I won't be able to lift any more. Not I won't want to lift. I mean physically unable. That day could be decades from now or it could be tomorrow. All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever.

yeah its a whole completely different segment of the company. That was treated like garbage by the 2 managers I have during integration. That side has no idea how miserable the employees are under these two morons... I pushed the ball and now we are going to watch it roll. Because everyone is going to sing to HR.
I saw him working on his paper trail today. He is 4 moves behind me and I audio recorded the entire hour long lecture I got. Where I have enough evidence to end his career at the company. And I am going to do it.Last edited by melanimal_old; 04-11-2019 at 05:28 PM.

I spend plenty of time in court if that's what you're asking

so I found out my boss is the younger brother of a certain NFL star who was taken in the top 3 of the draft, won 2 superbowls and lead a certain team to a national championship... and my boss cannot stand it. He has literally never talked about it. They aren't even linkedin connections lol. It makes so much sense now.
