ATLANTA, GA (SNN-TV) – The Atlanta Braves have signed star third baseman Austin Riley to a 10-year, $212 million contract.
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.
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.
With the extension, the Braves’ young core of Riley, Ronald Acuna Jr. and Ozzie Albies are all now signed through at least 2025.
