There's no rush for the Milwaukee Brewers to sign Christian Yelich to a megadeal that would effectively make him a Brewer for life. Heck, they could wait another three years to even consider it.
Yet such a deal is reportedly in the works anyway. And as these things go, it's oddly sensible.
Though nothing is official yet, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reported Tuesday that Yelich and the Brewers are nearing an agreement on a nine-year contract in the $215 million range.
Yelich, who was the National League MVP in 2018 and the MVP runner-up in 2019, was already signed to a team-friendly $49.
