Tigers get $120 million projection for Max Clark after impressive MLB debut
This $120 million projection would be a high bar to clear for the Tigers.
The Detroit Tigers are eyeing a $120 million contract projection for Max Clark after his impressive debut in Major League Baseball. This projection comes from a report by Tim Britton of The Athletic, who stated that Clark, a third overall pick and top-10 prospect, should be valued in the $110 million to $120 million range for an eight-year deal.
Clark's performance in his debut, including 0.4 bWAR, strong defense, and a .704 OPS, has caught the attention of the Tigers and other teams. The contract extension, if agreed upon, would align with similar deals given to Konnor Griffin and Corbin Carroll. While there is a risk in signing young players to long-term deals, the potential benefits of locking up Clark alongside fellow rising star Kevin McGonigle make it a compelling proposition for the Tigers.
