Braves Give McCann Long-Term Deal

The Atlanta Braves have made a major commitment to their All-Star catcher, Brian McCann, agreeing to a $26.8 million, six-year contract with him on Thursday.

McCann, only 23-years-old, batted a club-high .333 with 24 homers and 93 RBIs last season - his second of major league service.
