Brewers prospect Jackson Chourio hasn’t played a single MLB inning, but he’s expected to receive a historic payday.
The New York Post’s Jon Heyman reported Thursday that Milwaukee plans to sign the 19-year-old outfielder to an eight-year contract worth approximately $80 million, a deal that will include two club options. It would be the most lucrative contract in MLB history for a player who has yet to reach the big leagues.
Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported Wednesday, citing sources, that contract negotiations between the Brewers and Chourio began late in the minor-league regular season.
