Ender Inciarte and the Braves made a good deal:
league sources: Ender Inciarte has agreed to 5-year, $30.525M contract extension with braves

This is the type of deal you do with a good player. The Braves buy out Inciarte’s arbitration years and his first year of free agency. The Braves get the rest of his prime, his best years, at a very low price. He’s a three-WAR player who hasn’t peaked, so one very good year from Inciarte pays for the contract. Neither side needs to spend any time preparing for arbitration. Inciarte, if he is prudent, should bank about $10 million by the end of the deal. The income from that will leave him set for life. If he remains a three-war player through the contract, he’ll have a very nice pay-off in free agency. It’s a very nice Christmas present.
