The Double Standard of Rookie Contracts The Milwaukee Brewers' promotion of Luis Lara to the major leagues comes as no surprise, given his impressive season at Triple A Nashville.
His seven year, $31 million contract, signed nearly a month ago, has raised questions about the double standard in how players are handled under long term deals.
This phenomenon is not new; Cooper Pratt made his MLB debut just two and a half months after signing an eight year, $50. 75 million contract with the Brewers.
