Brewers Sign Pratt to Record-Breaking Deal

0:00On April 3rd, Milwaukee Brewers just made it official, signing shortstop prospect Cooper Pratt to an 8-year contract extension worth 50 point. $75 million guaranteed, with two club options after that. The deal kicks off this year and runs through the 2033 season with options for 2034 and 2035. To make room on the 40-man roster, they designated outfielder Stuart Barrowa for assignment. Pratt's execs are hyped, calling Pratt a key piece for their future, with elite defense at a premium spot. They're betting big on his bat-developing power, even after modest AA numbers last year. This is wild. Pratt had just three triple A games under his belt, the fewest ever for a player signing an MLB extension like this. He sat out Nashville's lineup all week while finalizing, but expect him back soon. Brewers locking in their farm system's top defender shows they're all in on homegrown talent, paving Pratt's path to the majors whenever he's ready.
