Milwaukee manager Pat Murphy pulled rookie Cooper Pratt after a popup miscue and a failed bunt, stressing that players must be locked in. Pratt apologized, saying teammates and the club expect better, as the Brewers fell to the Mets 3-2 in 10 innings.
The Milwaukee Brewers designated infielder Luis Rengifo for assignment and recalled Cooper Pratt after Rengifo’s disappointing 2026 season; Rengifo heads to the DFA/waivers period with a likely release or trade, while Milwaukee remains on the hook for the remaining salary and Pratt gets a renewed chance at the majors.
Milwaukee Brewers promote shortstop Cooper Pratt to the majors, adding him to the 40-man roster after signing an eight-year, $50.75 million extension, with his MLB debut expected soon (likely Tuesday vs. Cleveland). Pratt has slashed .244/.353/.392 in Nashville and could step into a regular role on Milwaukee's left side of the infield, potentially in a platoon with Ortiz, Hamilton, and Rengifo depending on matchups.
The Milwaukee Brewers are reportedly finalizing an eight-year, $50.75 million extension for 21-year-old shortstop prospect Cooper Pratt, with two club options (~$15M per year) and escalators, keeping him under team control for about a decade even if he spends time in the minors. Pratt, a Boras client who has not yet played in the majors and just debuted at Triple-A, is the rare pre-arbitration extension for a top prospect, signaling Milwaukee’s belief in his future defense and potential offensive development. The deal could affect 40-man roster moves and arbitration timing, and may influence infield planning with Turang, Ortiz, Made, Pena, and Williams, possibly shaping future trades if infield logistics change.
The Milwaukee Brewers received an A+ grade for their 2023 draft class, with the standout pick being Cooper Pratt in the 6th round. Pratt, a high school talent with impressive bat skills and raw power, has the highest upside potential in the entire draft. The Brewers will need to go over-slot to sign him due to signability concerns. The team also selected college seniors Tate Kuehner, Craig Yoho, and Mark Manfredi, who have the potential to contribute to the bullpen. However, the 10th round pick, Morris Austin, received a lower grade due to his lack of success on the mound.
The Milwaukee Brewers made a strategic shift on Day 2 of the 2023 MLB Draft, focusing on adding high upside hitters to their farm system. They selected high school shortstops Eric Bitonti and Cooper Pratt in the 3rd and 6th rounds, respectively, along with college pitchers to secure enough money to sign the talented bats. The Brewers believe these picks make their draft class one of the best in the league this year.
