The Atlanta Braves and Ronald Acuna Jr. have agreed to terms on an eight-year, $100 million extension that will keep the star outfielder under contract through the 2026 season.

The record-setting deal, announced Tuesday, includes club options for the 2027 and 2028 seasons.

The options are each worth $17 million, and the deal also includes a $10 million buyout of the option years, sources told ESPN.

"No, I have no regrets,'' Acuna said through an interpreter. "No one can see the future. No one knows what's going to happen tomorrow, so I'm extremely happy with the decision we've all made and I'm just excited to be here.''

Acuna, 21, becomes the youngest player in baseball history to sign a contract worth at least $100 million.

"I don't think much is going to change, to be honest,'' Acuna said. "I do come from a humble place, La Guaira, Venezuela. I'm proud to be from there and I plan to just continue to put work in.''

If the Braves choose to exercise both options, they would have Acuna under contractual control through his age-30 season. Acuna was set to become an unrestricted free agent in 2024.

"Our focus was we just wanted Ronald to be a Brave longer than six years and ultimately come to an agreement that gives him the financial security but also allows him to hit the market again at a stellar young age, to get a good deal,'' Braves general manager Alex Anthopoulos said.

The deal marks a significant financial commitment by the Braves, who have signed just one other player, star first baseman Freddie Freeman, to a nine-figure contract in the franchise's history.

Freeman signed an eight-year, $135 million extension before the 2014 season.

Acuna won the National League Rookie of the Year award last season, batting .293 with 26 home runs and 64 RBIs.

He was one of only seven players with 25 home runs in a season before turning 21 (and the fastest to reach the mark, in 92 games), along with Mel Ott, Frank Robinson, Tony Conigliaro, Al Kaline, Orlando Cepeda and Eddie Mathews. Only Conigliaro is not in the Hall of Fame.

Anthopoulos said he felt more confident about extending the big offer after seeing Acuna retain his work ethic following his 2018 success.

"Everybody could see how talented he is,'' Anthopoulos said. "Like I said, best young player I've seen. But from a front office standpoint, I wanted to see how Ronald came into spring training. He was the exact same guy, which was telling to me.''

The Braves originally signed Acuna out of Venezuela when he was 16, as an international free agent. He was ranked as Keith Law's No. 1 prospect heading into last season.

Anthopoulos and Acuna each said they hope this isn't the outfielder's last contract with the Braves.

"I'm looking forward to spending the next 10 years here and I hope to finish my career here as well,'' Acuna said.
