One reason the Atlanta Braves have been the perennial National League Eastern Division champions is their ability to lock up core players with long-term contracts so they do not leave as free agents as they enter their peak years. Yes, there have been notable exceptions such as Freddie Freeman and Dansby Swanson, but for the most part they have kept their roster intact.
Needless to say, many Mets fans are envious, and have beseeched team CEO Steve Cohen to follow the lead of their southern rivals. On Friday, word leaked out the team had agreed to a four-year contract with second baseman and 2022 National League batting champion Jeff McNeil.
