Reportedly at 100 million over 8 years. Seems like a damn good deal to have Acuna through his 20s for around ~12.5 per year.

It is done.
He's under team control until 2028 for a very reasonable price.

Yeah, but you also have to figure we wouldn't have to pay him anything until what? 2022? He only got a $100K signing bonus, so he's not rich (well, he wasn't rich until today). If he's well below market when the time comes, he can always do a good, old-fashioned holdout, no? You gotta admit, a holdout would be pretty cool  |

Probably because of expected changes in the new CBA which will come about in 2-3 years.

Possibly because they were were too flustered from shock that he would accept that deal. It was supposed to just be an opening offer, they didn't think he'd actually say ok.  |

Well, this is one pleasant surprise, glad to keep Acuna around and when this deal is up the lousy TV deal should be expired
Good he accepted it, my thinking it is a bargain
That was one that I did not see comming - for once something good
