The Brewers are close to signing outfielder Christian Yelich to a massive contract extension, according to The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal.
The deal is reportedly worth $200 million and is likely to stretch over seven years. Rosenthal reports the deal is expected to be announced Friday at the Brewers' spring training complex in Maryvale, Ariz.
Yelich is set to make $12.5 million this season, $14 million in 2021 and has a $15 million club option in 2022. Rosenthal reports it's uncertain if the new deal will take over Yelich's current contract or be an extension of it.
