Two of the Atlanta Braves' key contributors over the last decade will officially be back with the team in 2027.

The Braves announced Thursday that they've exercised the options for outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. and second baseman Ozzie Albies for next year. Acuna had a $17 million club option for 2027, while Albies' option was worth $7 million. This will keep two of the Braves' big bats in the heart of Atlanta's lineup for at least one more season.

Despite winning the National League East this year, Atlanta was eliminated by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League Division Series. Here are some additional offseason decisions the Braves face if they want to make a deeper postseason run in 2027.
