Here's the Financial Breakdown of Jackson Chourio's Expected Deal with the Milwaukee Brewers

Chourio is the top prospect in the organization and the No. 2 prospect in all of baseball, behind only Jackson Holliday of the Orioles. He is just 19 years old and is yet to debut at the major league level. This will be the richest contract for someone who has never debuted before.

Signing early extensions like this carries significant risk for both sides. First, the team could be guaranteeing $82 million to a player that gets injured or massively under performs in the future. Evan White of the Seattle Mariners signed a deal before ever taking the field and he's barely played during the life of that contract because of injury. It was only for $24 million, so imagine what the conversation would be if it were a deal like this one.

On the other side, Chourio could be taking a deal that he massively out-performs and could end up underpaid. Even if he hits the $140 million max value of the deal, he could end up underpaid.

Chourio hit .282 this season between Double-A and Triple-A. He also hit 22 home runs, drove in 91 and stole 44 bases.

Per his MLB.com prospect profile:

Chourio brings multiple at least plus tools to the table. His 70-grade speed is perhaps the loudest, and it was a big reason why Milwaukee moved him to center field, where he could cover even more ground than shortstop. What’s more, his contact at the plate is loud and capable of playing everywhere in the park. Brewers officials were often awestruck at how the right-handed slugger thumped the ball to right almost as easily as he did to left.
