Braves’ Orlando Arcia signs 3-year, $7.3 million contract

Atlanta Braves infielder Orlando Arcia has signed a three-year contract that includes a team option for 2026, the team announced Thursday before their season opener.

The Braves did not disclose financial terms, but sources confirmed to ESPN’s Buster Olney that the three base years of deal are worth $7.3 million, and the team option is worth $2 million with a $1 million buyout.

Arcia had been entering the final year of his previous deal with the Braves and was set to make $1.3 million this season. He was batting ninth in Atlanta’s Opening Day lineup and starting at shortstop Thursday against the Washington Nationals.

A more interesting history than I had realized. If I read Cot's correctly then Arcia was non-tendered in the 2021-22 season and re-upped with Atlanta on a 2/$3 deal with a $2 option. That makes him a recent example of the non-tender then resign deal -- I haven't noticed one of those in a while. This deal replaces the remaining 1/$1.4 (plus $2) deal. Still an unusual deal in that this isn't the type of player that usually gets a multi-year commitment but obviously good for Arcia and of no consequence to Atlanta as he should be a perfectly sound backup IF for the next couple of years. This brings his career earnings to about $15 M.

Are we sure the Braves realize they aren't required to sign everyone to extensions?

Long-term contracts have tax benefit to the buyer when the team is sold. I believe this also applies in spin-offs. Liberty Media is in the process of spinning the Braves off as a free-standing corporation.
