KISSIMMEE, Fla. -- The Atlanta Braves have been on a signing spree. So far theyve locked up first baseman Freddie Freeman, right fielder Jason Heyward, starter Julio Teheran, and closer Craig Kimbrel. On Wednesday, the Braves extended the contracts of general manager Frank Wren and manager Fredi Gonzalez. Wren and Gonzalez were entering the final years of their contracts and Braves president John Schuerholz simply said he wanted the deals to be done as soon as possible. Terms and the amount of the contracts were not disclosed. Schuerholz made the announcement before the first full-squad workout of the spring. "Theyve done wonderful jobs for us," Schuerholz said. "Were not going to talk about the lengths, but they have been extended." After a long first day with the full squad, Gonzalez said he was happy to have the contract issue out of the way. "Im excited," Gonzalez said. "It gives me a chance to stay in Atlanta and I love being here. This is a place I want to be for a long time. Im just happy with the whole thing." Last season, the Braves went 96-66 and won the National League East before falling in the playoffs. Gonzalez finished third in National League Manager of the Year voting. He has a career record with the Braves of 279-207. Gonzalez has a long history with the Braves as a third base coach under manager Bobby Cox. He started his managing career with the Florida Marlins where he served for 3 1/2 seasons. Wren has been in the Braves organization since 1999 and replaced Schuerholz as general manager after the 2007 season. Schuerholz said he was happy to have Wren and Gonzalez wrapped up before contracts became an issue during the regular season. "Its just not the way to run a company," said Schuerholz of spending the year negotiating contracts. These guys deserve better than that and thats why we did it." "Thats not something we wanted to avoid, its just not the way to run a company," he said. "And these guys deserve more than that, better than that, and thats why we did it." The four player signings along with the Wren and Gonzalez extensions, showed that the Braves arent afraid to spend money. On the four players alone, they spent $227.7 million. NOTES: Gonzalez got a chance to see RHP Brandon Beachy pitch and said he is impressed. Beachy was 2-1 with five starts last year after returning from Tommy John surgery. ... Gonzalez said he is still adjusting to the new rules regarding replay. The Braves will be allowed the use of replay three times during spring training. He said he is still trying to figure out the rules. He said he will likely have a part-time coach in the replay booth to send down signals on the calls. ... RHP Kris Medlen sat in front of the dugout at Champion Stadium to have his hair completely shaven to support awareness and funding for cancer research. Several cancer survivors helped out and Medlen said he felt fine about his new look after it was over. Britton Colquitt Jersey .

F1 champion Lewis Hamilton drives on Monday.Long before the end of last season, development work on our 2015 car became the main priority, Toto Wolff, the head of Mercedes-Benz Motorsport, said. It would be so dangerous to rest on our laurels after 2014.Red Bull finished second overall last year and was the only team to win a race other than Mercedes, with Australian driver Daniel Ricciardo winning three GPs as Sebastian Vettel struggled. Williams finished third in the constructors championship, a sign for Rosberg that this seasons contest could be tougher for Mercedes.Red Bull, for example. Just one year ago they were the untouchable team. So you can expect them to be very strong, Rosberg said. Williams was right on our tail at the end of last season, they finished the last race just three seconds from us. We definitely expect our competitors to close the gap and we have a close eye on them.The opening race is on March 15 in Melbourne and Mercedes has been working on improving the chassis and power unit. A maximum of four power units are allowed this year, one less than 2014.Expectations are now high and a lot of assumptions are being made about our potential this season, Mercedes technical director Paddy Lowe said.dddddddddddd You have to take risks to progress, but those risks must be carefully managed.While Red Bull and Ferrari changed their driver lineups — with Vettel joining Ferrari and two-time champion Fernando Alonso leaving Ferrari to join McLaren — Hamilton and Rosberg are driving together for the third straight season.The Williams pairing of Felipe Massa and Valtteri Bottas showed encouraging speed last year — with Bottas securing six podium finishes.The new Williams car features some small changes to the front nose and bulkhead.The momentum we carry from last year has been very encouraging, said Massa, the championship runner-up in 2008. I am excited to be continuing to work with Valtteri, a driver with so much talent who has so much to offer both the team and me.After years of stability with Vettel alongside former driver Mark Webber, Red Bulls new pairing of Ricciardo and 20-year-old Daniil Kvyat is exciting and untested.Weve already seen what Daniel is capable of and we firmly believe that (Kvyat) has all the same attributes, team principal Christian Horner said. Theyre young, hungry, theyre incredibly quick and I think they are going to push each other very hard.Needing to make vast improvements on last year, Red Bull made changes to the lower nose box, the front of the chassis and the Renault power unit.The relationship with Renault is a lot closer now, Horner said. Red Bull is the only partner for Renault now, through ourselves and Toro Rosso, and that focus from Renault — together with a close involvement with our design team — is yielding good results.
