19 Year-Old Brewers Prospect Gets $80M, 8-Year Extension Despite Never Playing a MLB Game

Now I know why is 50 bucks for parking, 18 bucks for a beer and 15 for a hot dog at games.

And this is why I don't attend pro sports anymore.

This shite is getting OOC

Baseball is incentivized to pay their stars earlier because the amount young superstars are commanding in their first big deal is insane. The Brewers can't afford a $300M-$400M deal, so this is what they settle for. The player is smart because if he ends up as an all-star, he'll have plenty of years for another mega deal after this one is done.

Didn’t Albies screw himself by signing a long term deal that ended up underpaying him significantly?

It’s a calculated gamble on their part. If he’s just half decent he’ll be well worth $10MM AAV. If he’s a great player or even just pretty good it will be a steal. $10MM is not that much in the MLB these days.

His agent needs a raise

What a great feeling it has to be to be able to tell your parents they don't have to work anymore now it's my turn...congrats to the young man

Kid is from Venezuela. They have a real bad habit of kidnapping the families of millionaire baseball players.

He has only play 6 Triple A games as well

Jackson?? 80 mill ..Travel ball does pay off

I'd play a season or 2 and retire for a garunteed $80,000,000.

What could go wrong?

just nuts

Amazing
