Should the Twins join new MLB trend of signing top prospects to early extensions?

MINNEAPOLIS — It’s been a busy couple of weeks for MLB teams signing yet-to-debut top prospects to long-term contracts, and the Minnesota Twins should probably be taking notice.First, the Milwaukee Brewers and 21-year-old shortstop Cooper Pratt inked an eight-year, $51 million contract that also includes two more option years. Pratt, the No. 99 prospect on The Athletic’s top-100 list, had played all of three Triple-A games and will remain in the minors for now.Advertisement
