Braves Sign Austin Riley To Ten-Year Extension
The Braves announced they’ve signed star third baseman Austin Riley to a
ten-year, $212MM contract extension. Riley will make $15MM next season, $21MM
in 2024, then $22MM annually through 2032. The deal also contains a 2033 club
option valued at $20MM. Riley is a client of ALIGND Sports Agency.
It’s a stunning, out-of-the-blue development that keeps a franchise pillar
around for the long haul. The deal buys out the 25-year-old’s final three
seasons of arbitration eligibility and extends the club’s window of control
by as much as eight years. It locks him in Atlanta for virtually the entirety
of his prime, as Riley won’t hit free agency until after his age-35 campaign
at the earliest.
A former supplemental first-round pick, Riley quickly blossomed into one of
the organization’s top prospects. He reached the majors not long after his
22nd birthday in 2019. Riley was up-and-down for the first couple seasons of
his big league career, particularly when he struck out in over 36% of his
plate appearances as a rookie. Atlanta stuck with him despite that early
inconsistency, however, and they’ve been rewarded since Riley broke out last
year.
