The Braves made a splash yesterday and locked up two of their young stars. Atlanta signed outfielder Jason Heyward to a 2yr/$13.3 million contract to buyout the last remaining years of salary arbitration for the All-Star outfielder. But the big news came when first baseman, Freddie Freeman agreed to an 8yr/$135 million contract setting a franchise salary record. Both Freeman and Heyward are only 24 years old and have not even hit their prime yet. This got us thinking, what young star would you try to lock up for your team? Let us know. After that, head over Braves.com to get more details on both Freeman and Heyward’s new deals. http://atmlb.com/1gMn9kL
