    Braves Braves, McCann agree to 6 year extension.

    The Braves and Brian McCann have agreed to a six-year contract that includes a team option for a seventh season.

    The deal has the potential to buy out two of McCann's free-agent seasons and is reportedly worth up to $29.8 million. McCann will be arbitration-eligible for the first time in 2009.

    Just saw it on MLB.com. Great move for the Braves. McCann is an amazing catcher and hitter.

    Great move by the Braves. I guess "Salty" is moving to 1B to get his bat into the lineup?
