The Milwaukee Brewers have signed star outfielder Cooper Pratt to a contract extension that could keep him with the team through the 2035 season. The 27-year-old Pratt, a three-time All-Star, has been a key part of the Brewers' success in recent years.

Why it matters

Pratt's extension is a major win for the Brewers, who have struggled to retain top talent in the past. Keeping their franchise player in Milwaukee long-term will help the team remain competitive in the NL Central division.

The details

The extension is reportedly worth over $200 million and includes a team option for 2036. Pratt was already under contract through 2030, so this new deal adds an additional 5 years to his tenure with the Brewers. The team is hopeful that Pratt will continue to be a cornerstone of their lineup for the foreseeable future.
