Brewers Jackson Chourio Contract: Richest Contract Ever for a Player Before Reaching Big Leagues
Big things coming, for a big time player. The Brewers Jackson Chourio contract is for over $80 million dollars. At first glance, you probably think, “well that’s a steal.” Especially, in this modern day era with guys getting multi-hundred million deals. However, this Brewers contract is different… it is the most lucrative contract for a player who never reached the Big Leagues.
Not one single game in Major League Baseball; but the Brewers wallet is open for business. This move is also wild when you note that Chourio has only played 6 games above AA. However, the Milwaukee franchise has seen enough and are ready to proceed forward.
Jon Heyman, a baseball columnist for the NY Post; and insider for the MLB Network is all over this deal. Regarding this unheard lucrative contract, Heyman reveals,
“Breaking: Top CF prospect Jackson Chourio, 19, and the Brewers are expected to complete today the richest contract ever for a player who has yet to reach the big leagues. The deal is expected to be for 8 guaranteed years snd close to $80M and include two team options.”
Crazy. Imagine getting that type of dough before you can even legally drink in the States. Nevertheless, congratulations to Chourio on earning the opportunity to go next level.
Furthermore, after some time passed; a few more details regarding this deal came to light. Like exact numbers as well when fans can expect to see the 19 year old in action with the rest of the team. Jon Heyman states,
“Brewers and Chourio are finalizing record deal expected to come in at $82M with $2M buyout on team options. Previous record contract for minor leaguer: Luis Robert $50M. Expectation is Chourio, who’s played 6 games above Double-A, will be Crew CF in 2024.”
