20 worst Atlanta Braves contracts in franchise history

A ranking of the 20 worst contract signings in Atlanta Braves franchise history highlights costly mistakes across both long-term and short-term agreements. The evaluation notes that unexpected player declines and persistent injuries often derailed deals that were initially perceived as bargains by the organization.

Austin Riley ranked at number 20 on the list with his 10-year, $212 million contract, which stands as the largest deal in franchise history. Riley signed the extension amid three consecutive seasons with at least 6 bWAR and top-seven finishes in National League MVP voting.
