In the prime of his career and coming off back-to-back dominant seasons, Christian Yelich is about to get paid by the Brewers. The contract extension will add seven guaranteed years and approximately $188.5 million of new money, according to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. Although impressive, it pales in comparison to other long-term deals signed recently by MLB superstars. Even Giancarlo Stanton’s not-so-recent extension was more player-friendly:
Christian Yelich, ages 28-36: $215 million
Giancarlo Stanton, ages 28-36: $260 million (Stanton's deal also has 1 extra guaranteed year and 1 club option beyond that) https://t.
