ALT The Atlanta Braves today signed RHP Spencer Strider to a six-year contract worth $75 million that runs through the 2028 season. The deal includes a $22 million club option for 2029 with a $5 million buyout. Strider will make $1 million per season for 2023-2024, $4 million in 2025, $20 million in 2026, and $22 million per season in 2027-2028. The deal will be worth $92 million over seven years if the option is exercised. Strider, 23, went 11-5 with a 2.67 ERA (39 ER/131.2 IP) in 31 games, 20 starts, for the Braves this season, striking out 202 and allowing just 86 hits. The 6-foot-0, 205-pound native of Columbus, Ohio, became the first pitcher in major league history to strike out over 200 with fewer than 100 hits allowed. The right-hander became the third rookie in franchise history to strikeout 200 in a season when he did so this year, and the first in the modern era.
