The San Diego Padres are locking up their newest superstar for the future. Outfielder Jackson Merrill reportedly agreed to a nine-year, $135 million extension with the team, per Fansided’s Robert Murray.
The contract can reportedly max out at $204 million, per Murray.
Merrill, 21, turned in a fantastic rookie season in 2024. He hit .292/.326/.500, with 24 home runs, over 593 plate appearances. That performance earned Merrill an All-Star nod and a Silver Slugger award.

Liverpool scenarios: How Reds can win the Premier League title vs. Tottenham on Sunday
Getty Images Liverpool's commanding lead atop the Premier League table means that the Reds are inching closer and closer to their first title since the 2019-20 season, and that the day they officially win that trophy is right around the corner.As things stand, Liverpool have a 12-point lead on second-place Arsenal with five games to go, which makes it very unlikely that they will not end this season as England's champions. They could officially clinch the title as soon as this weekend, a signal title race is still very much in Liverpool's hands, and they will be able to win it outright when they return to play on Sunday.The Reds' impressive lead comes five years after their last Premier League title, which was the only time they won the accolade, coming during Jurgen Klopp's storied eight-year spell as the manager.

WATCH: USMNT star Christian Pulisic scores his 16th goal of season for AC Milan in win vs. Venezia
Getty Images Christian Pulisic scored the opening goal for AC Milan in Sunday's match against Venezia just a few days after winning 3-0 in the Derby della Madonnina in the Coppa Italia semifinal second leg against Inter. Pulisic, who joined AC Milan in the summer of 2023, has now scored his 16th goal with AC Milan during the 2024-25 season with the Rossoneri, marking what's already his best season of his career in terms of goals scored. The U.S. international scored 15 goals in all competitions in his first year at the club, but was able to surpass that in his second season at the club despite the disappointing season of the team, now coached by Portuguese manager Sergio Conceicao. Here's the goal from the 2-0 win: Up to now, Pulisic scored 10 Serie A goals, including the one against Venezia, […]
Shedeur Sanders, Will Howard headline the top five steals of the 2025 NFL Draft
Getty Images In more ways than one, Shedeur Sanders' draft experience largely told the tale of the 2025 NFL Draft. While 32 deserving players were selected on Day 1, Sanders and a bevy of other talented prospects had to wait one or even two extra days before hearing their names called. Every year, several players who were considered first-round talents were still on the board after the 32nd pick in the draft was made. But it seemed like this was especially the case this year, as this draft was praised more for its depth and less for its top-end talent. More than any other position, quarterbacks took a major hit in this year's draft. Before the draft, the expectation was that most of the top-10 QB prospects would be off the board midway through the third round. That didn't end up being […]
