Phillies Prospect Miller Predicted for Pre-MLB Contract

Phillies top prospect Aiden Miller is predicted to receive a major contract before his MLB debut, following the trend of prospects getting extensions early.

Miller, considered one of the most ascendant players in the Minors, tore up Triple-A last season after making a swing adjustment. The Phillies' top prospect has been slowed by a back issue this spring but is expected to make his major league debut within the next year.

As Alec Bohm and Bryson Stott approach free agency, Miller could step into a starting role. The Phillies may need to extend the young shortstop before he even plays in an MLB game, similar to other recent prospect extensions around the league.
