ATLANTA (AP)—The Atlanta Braves signed the team’s richest contract in almost a decade on Thursday, handing Dan Uggla(notes) a $62 million, five-year deal.
The contract was a signal of intent by the Braves to take on the Philadelphia Phillies in the fight for the National League East division title in 2011.
“This team is ready to win right now,” Uggla said. “The core group is going to be here a long time. We have the pieces in place to win for a long time.”
