The Braves made a long-term commitment to Brian McCann, agreeing Thursday to a $26.8 million, six-year contract with the All-Star catcher. The deal with McCann, who has less than two years of major league service, includes a club option for 2013. McCann, just 23, hit a team-high .333 with 24 homers and 93 RBIs last season. "This is really a historical and unprecedented kind of commitment for the Atlanta Braves," GM John Schuerholz said.
