Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Luis Lara adjusts his cap during spring training workouts Monday, February 16, 2026, at American Family Fields of Phoenix in Phoenix, Arizona.

The Milwaukee Brewers are in agreement with outfield prospect Luis Lara on a seven-year, $31 million extension, multiple outlets reported Tuesday.

The contract with the 21-year-old Venezuelan begins this season and includes three club options, potentially taking the deal through 2035.

The extension could max out at $78 million if Lara reaches all the incentives, a source told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Lara is ranked No. 5 among Milwaukee's prospects and No. 91 among all major league clubs by MLB Pipeline.

He is batting .338/.447/.500 with seven homers, 27 RBIs and 18 stolen bases in 56 games this season at Double-A Nashville.

The Brewers have signed similar long-term deals with up-and-coming prospects before, including outfielder Jackson Chourio in December 2023 and current minor league shortstop Cooper Pratt in April.
