NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Outfielder Jackson Chourio agreed to the largest contract for a player with no major league experience, an $82 million, eight-year deal with the Milwaukee Brewers. The 19-year-old has played only six games above the Double-A level. His deal includes team options for 2032 and 2033. He broke the previous high for a player yet to make his debut, a $50 million, six-year deal outfielder Luis Robert Jr. signed with the Chicago White Sox in 2020.
