D'Arnaud signed a two-year, $16 million extension with Atlanta on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The deal keeps the catcher in Cobb County through the end of the 2023 season, with the club also getting an $8 million team option to keep him around for an additional year. D'Arnaud has shown some of the best form of his career during his time with Atlanta, hitting .284/.345/.470 with 12 homers and 49 RBI in 72 games with the team, though almost all of his success came last year. He's produced a 71 wRC+ this year while spending the majority of the season on the injured list after undergoing thumb surgery, but the organization evidently believes he has at least two more years of good performances in his bat despite his recent struggles.
