Braves avoid arbitration with Heyward. He signs a 2 year deal through 2015.
How much?

No word yet on the money.
Posted on 2/4/14 at 10:27 am to RollDatRoll
Any speculation?
Posted on 2/4/14 at 10:27 am to RollDatRoll
Great news.
Deal is for $13.3M.
Gives us a much better chance of keeping him long term IMO.

I don't get free agency/arbitration. JHey asked for $5.5/year...Braves offered $5.2/year...and they settle for $6.65/year and have to negotiate again in 2 years? Help me on why this is a good move for the Braves...I'm admittedly dumb when it comes to this kind of stuff.

Either JHey wanted more money and the only way they would pay him more was less years, or JHey wanted more years and they wouldn't give it to him, but gave him more money for less years

Even a decent season and he would be looking at 8-9M in arb next year.
This is probably pretty close to fair, with maybe a slight Braves win. The bigger news is avoiding arb both years. That could potentially really strain the relationship and damage the chances of an extension.

Buying out a FA year would have likely cost the Braves another $15M+.

It's a good move for the Braves because we now have him happy and signed for 2 more years at a great value.

In Cobb stadium-related news:

quote:
For the Atlanta Braves to break ground on a new stadium in Cobb County by Jan. 1, 2015, a “Herculean effort” will be required to get all the legal and financial agreements in place.
The Braves, in fact, will have to accomplish in less than a year what is taking the Atlanta Falcons, the Georgia World Congress Center Authority and the city of Atlanta more than two years to put together. And the new Braves stadium is supposed to open ahead of the new Atlanta Falcons stadium in time for the 2017 baseball season.
Dan Kolber, a veteran Atlanta municipal securities attorney who was a founding partner of Jackson Securities and is now president and CEO of Intellivest Securities, reviewed the memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the Atlanta Braves, Cobb County and the Cobb-Marietta Coliseum & Exhibit Hall Authority.
In a lengthy interview, Kolber, who also writes a column for Atlanta Business Chronicle, said the elephant in the room was whether it would be possible for the Braves and Cobb to be able to negotiate all the agreements and get them approved through the various governmental bodies and then be able to get all the bond documents ready to go to market without any threat of litigation by the end of the year.

The offseason is turning on a dime today. Still not great, but much better with these extensions/ avoiding arbitration hearings.
Posted on 2/4/14 at 12:10 pm to Friendly_Freeman
Rumor that this is a 5-6 year deal and not just buying out arb years.
