The Braves were so impressed with Austin Riley winning the Baseball Musings Offensive Player of the Month Award that they agreed to a ten-year, $212 million contract with him:

The deal runs through the 2032 season, and it includes a $20 million club option for 2033. Riley also agreed to donate $2.12 million to the Atlanta Braves Foundation, according to the team.

The news comes just weeks after the 25-year-old Riley appeared in his first All-Star Game. He’s currently hitting .301 with 29 home runs and 68 RBI, with a .964 OPS in 101 games this season. His 61 extra-base hits are the most in the majors, and included 26 in July —  which broke Hank Aaron‘s previous franchise record by one (1961).

He did not hit that well his first two seasons, but he did show the power. Since 2021, he’s been good at all aspects of hitting, with a .302/.364/.560 slash line. It’s a very nice deal for both sides.
