The deal includes a club option for 2024. Rosario was obtained by the Braves mid-season last year as their outfield was decimated by the season-ending ACL injury to Ronald Acuna Jr. and the off-field problems of Marcel Ozuna.
Rosario quickly established himself as a key part of their push to the playoffs, batting .271 with a .903 OPS in 33 games regular-season games, and then became one of their playoff heroes, winning the NLCS MVP after blasting 3 home runs with 9 RBIs and hitting an astronomical .560 in their 6-game defeat of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
His 11-game hitting streak in the postseason tied for the 3rd longest in Braves history.
The 30-year old has a career average of .275 with a .782 OPS over seven seasons.
