The Milwaukee Brewers are reportedly expected to agree to an eight-year, $80 million contract with outfield prospect Jackson Chourio on Thursday.
According to Jon Heyman of the New York Post, the deal includes two team options and it will set the all-time record for the richest contract given to a minor league player.
The previous record belonged to Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert, who signed a six-year, $50 million deal in 2020 and has gone on to become an All-Star, Gold Glover and Silver Slugger Award winner.
Chourio, 19, has yet to play in a major league game, and he has just six games of experience above the Double-A level.
