The Atlanta Braves have exercised contract options on star outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. and second baseman Ozzie Albies, securing both players for the upcoming season. The move was announced on October 30, 2026.
Acuña Jr., the 2023 National League MVP, and Albies, a two-time All-Star, form the core of Atlanta's lineup. The duo was photographed together during a game against the Houston Astros at Daikin Park on September 18, 2026, celebrating a play in the eighth inning.
By picking up their options, the Braves maintain continuity in their infield and outfield as they prepare for another postseason push.
