Brewers Lock Up Pratt with $50.7M Deal

0:00On March 30th, Milwaukee Brewers just locked up shortstop prospect Cooper Pratt with an 8-year contract worth $50,750,000. The 21-year-old hasn't even hit the majors yet, but the deals already in place according to sources close to it. Pratt ranks as the number 62 prospect in all of baseball, with a glove that's already elite. Last season in AA, he hit 238, drew 67 walks, swiped 31 bases, and smacked eight homers across 120 games. Brewers GM Matt Murphy raves about his aptitude and work ethic, calling him a true baseball player with room to grow. They grabbed him in the sixth round of the 2023 draft from a stacked farm system. This mirrors their move with Outfielder Jackson Churrio, who got an $82 million extension at 19. Churrio debuted last year and already notch 20 homers and 20 steals in each of his first two big league seasons. Brewers keep betting big on the young talent, stacking the future one extension at a time.
