Griffin's Debut, Made's Rise: NL Central Shakeup

It's April 3rd.

This is Milwaukee Brewers News today, powered by AI everything happening with your team.

I'm Corey with the story.

Pittsburgh pirates just dropped a bomb on the NL Central, calling up Connor Griffin,

the number one prospect in all of baseball.

This 19-year-old shortstop is on the verge of a nine-year deal worth $140 million, and

he could debut any day now even, before turning 20 on April 24th.

Brewers fans brace yourselves, disguise a divisional nightmare.

Meanwhile, our own shortstop prospect Cooper Pratt is reportedly close to an eight-year extension

north of $50 million, though nothing's official yet.

It's echoing what we did with Jackson Churrio, who got 82 million over eight years right

before his age, 20-day-view last season.

This wave of massive pre-day-view deals is shaking up MLB.

Seattle's Colt Emerson inked eight years for 95 million as a top ten prospect, and

is becoming the new norm, think Roman Anthony and Boston, or Samuel Basallo in Baltimore,

signing huge after barely any big league time.

Shifting gears to our farm system, Jesus made his prime to snag that top prospect crown.

He's consensus number three to start the year, down in double A. Baluxy, and with Griffin

and Detroit's Kevin McGonagall graduating soon, made rockets.

Upchaced by Oakland's Leo DeVries and others in this shortstop avalanche, top seven prospects

on MLB pipeline, all short stops are infield wizards.

Teens are locking in the future early, and the Brewers they stacked in the mix as this

talent surge keeps rolling.
