Projecting a Max Clark extension as Tigers continue to prioritize homegrown talent

Katrina Stebbins of Motor City Bengals argues that the Detroit Tigers should consider signing outfielder Max Clark to a long-term contract extension. Following an earlier eight-year deal given to Kevin McGonigle, Stebbins suggests Detroit could lock up Clark on a projected eight-year, $140 million contract with an average annual value of $17.5 million to secure their homegrown core.

The piece highlights how teams like the Milwaukee Brewers have benefited from signing top prospects to early, team-friendly extensions, such as Jackson Chourio's eight-year agreement. Stebbins contends that the Tigers front office, led by Scott Harris, should act promptly before player market demands increase further.
