The Milwaukee Brewers have another long-term extension under their belt. Over the last week, there has been a lot of buzz about Brewers No. 5 Luis Lara prospect down in Triple-A. But it hasn't been about his meteoric season at the plate. Instead, it's been about how he hasn't played a game in a week.Triple-A Nashville manager Rick Sweet added fuel to the fire by acknowledging that he's healthy and expected to return to the lineup on Tuesday, but that "stuff will come out" about why he has been out. There was speculation out there that Lara could be in line for a long-term contract extension like shortstop Cooper Pratt, and that is accurate. On Tuesday, Jeff Passan of ESPN reported that Lara is signing a seven-year, $31 million extension with three club options. "Outfield prospect Luis Lara and the Milwaukee Brewers are in agreement on a seven-year, $31 million contract extension that includes three club options, sources tell ESPN. Lara, 21, has dominated Triple-A this season. Deal maxes out at $79 million," Passan wrote. This is a breaking story and will be updated. Add us as a preferred source on GoogleFollow
