Prospects Ink Record Deals Before MLB Debut

Two top shortstop prospects, Cooper Pratt and Colt Emerson, have made history by signing massive deals before stepping onto a big league field. Pratt inked an eight-year extension worth $50.75 million with the Milwaukee Brewers, while Emerson signed an eight-year pact for $95 million with the Seattle Mariners. This trend of signing prospects before they debut has seen mixed results, with some busts like Scott Kingery and Evan White, but also stars like Evan Longoria, Corbin Carroll, and Salvador Perez. Teams continue to bet big on these prospects, hoping to build dynasties cheaply, but the risk remains high as prospects face the challenge of the major leagues.
