Bingo. Amazing how people consistently overreact to small sample sizes. He's a great player and on fire right now. But he's gonna need a little more proof of this over a good full season to knock guy's like Trout or Betts off the perch as arguably the best position player in the game.
He's been to one all-star game and finished 12 in the MVP voting last season. Let's pump the brakes here a little on best in the game titles.
Need more of a lengthier resume fellas like years more! You're falling for recency bias and being prisoners of the moment. Mike Trout is the best in the game still and could end up being one of the greatest ever but guess what? He's still working on an already super impressive career. Acuna is a great young talent no doubt but that plant still needs more watering and growth.
The contract he signed was criminal .
I don’t see any way he does not hold out in a few years .
His agent should be fired .
That was the worst contract for a baseball player in the history of sports .
His contract is like the equivalent of mahomes signing a 10 year 100 million contract .
Its that bad.
He is going to be getting paid 25% of market value at best for 10 years .

This guy not a rookie man .
This is year 3 .
I would not call it small sample size at this point
That play was amazing .
One of the most amazing plays you will ever see.
Who ever heard of scoring on a sac fly to 2nd base lol
Can you at least say he is trending to be the best player in baseball?
He will be the first player in at least 9 or 10 years not named trout to be considered the best player in baseball ?
Disagree that it was "criminal"
Lets rewind. He was no on the opening day roster which means the braves could have held him for 1 more season before arbitration.
Acuna's salary would probably have been under a million dollars a season for his first 3-4 years (i dont know this for a fact) if the braves didnt sign him
The braves wanted to guarantee a crap load of $$ on the front end as they knew they'd get screwed on the back end.
If any contract was CRIMINAL, it would be Ozzie's when he signed a 5 for 30 deal
Yea Ozzie was criminal to but acuna worse.
Yea braves are paying acuna 10 mill a year right now early for 3 years when they could have gave him less then 2 mill.
But the next 7 after that they will be paying him 10 when he is worth over 40 per on the open market
