The Braves are close to signing right-hander Tim Hudson to a four-year extension worth approximately $48 million with a vesting option for a fifth year.

Hudson, 29, likely would have commanded at least five years and $75 million as a free agent after this season, but his desire to play 75 miles from his home in Auburn, Ala., is proving the overriding factor in negotiations. The signing of Hudson would enable the Braves to keep their five current starters together through at least 2006 while allowing top prospect Kyle Davies to complete his development at his own pace.

I gave him 4 year 36 million dollar contract in MVP Baseball 2005 to extend his contract. Hopefully the real Braves can tie him up too.

This article doesn't say it's a done deal, but the title indicates such:

Report: Braves, Hudson agree on $33M extension


Also the ticker on ESPN says they've agreed...
