At the time of the signing, Chourio had yet to see a big-league field. The team had already played in 99 regular-season games and looked like a star in a two-game series against the Minnesota Twins.

Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy discusses Jackson Chourio’s star performance against the Minnesota Twins.
After the series ended, manager Pat Murphy was asked about Jackson Chourio’s performance over the weekend. Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel quoted him as saying, “After those two games, you’d say, ‘Wow, that kid deserves $150 million.’ It’s like we got him cheap if you watched those two games.”
The Brewers win over the Twins, putting them 15 games over .500 with a record of 57-42. They then play the Chicago Cubs, Miami Marlins and then the Atlanta Braves to end July.
