Lindsay Crosby breaks down why the Braves might pursue an early extension for catcher Drake Baldwin, using Alex Anthopoulos’ comments and Baldwin’s elite offensive production at a premium position. With no confirmed talks and team control through 2030, Crosby compares recent catcher extensions (Ruiz, Basallo, Raleigh) and proposes a six-year, $82M deal with a 2033 club option, balancing arbitration values, free-agent buyouts, and cost certainty alongside Sean Murphy’s contract. He outlines the risk/reward for both Baldwin and Atlanta, noting injuries, upside, and the value of acting before a true breakout season removes the discount.
