Pratt has a perfect 0.000 ISO this year. He avoided hitting any extra base hits in spring training and in AAA! As bad as Ortiz has been in Milwaukee, Pratt has been as bad or worse in AAA.
Only if you assume he was going to make it to Milwaukee this year.
It was:
Minimum contract:
2027 (brought up two weeks into season whenever that is (assuming he is even ready))
2028
2029
Arbitraion
2030
2031
2032
2033
So it starts this year? So the Brewers gained zero extra control out side the option years, had to guarantee Pratt's salary, paid $20 million more than similar players made through 7 years, and he can now be locked out next spring.
The NFL fighting tooth and nail to save thousands of dollars a year willing to make games intolerable slogs and refereed terribly!

The thing about this, is what can this even mean to a team? Maybe it's $100 million per year from Polymarket? That's what $3 million or so per team? So this is being done so a team can pay for one signing bonus or a utility infielder?
Hey what can go wrong?

I am so old I can remember players getting banned for life for gambling like last year
Yes they are young, but they are still .6 years older than the Packers. The difference be then the Jets/Packers and SEA/PHI at 29/30 is the same as between SEA/PHI and Arizona at 16. The Packers are not just young but like a standard deviation younger.
Look at the 2008 Huntsville Stars both at how good that team was and how it can all unravel.

Well Gutekunst did get the award he is most interested in. Packers threepeat as youngest team by snap weighted age!

A Perkins/Bauers "platoon" in Left field (Chourio playing in LF against LHers, Perkins in CF) makes the most sense for when Mitchell gets hurt. The platoon might also outplay Mitchell right now.
Richardson has an upside but he's even more raw than when Willis got here. If there is one thing about Love, its that he tends to miss time so you need a guy you fell OK with for 2-3 games a year.
Doubt Richardson is going to cost more than a 6th/7th.
He's not that great at the throwing part either.
Also not sure how well the swing is going with a spring training IIFB rate of 42.9%. I guess we won't miss Durbin after all...
