​Why Brewers’ Jacob Misiorowski contract extension update is a little worrying originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.The Milwaukee Brewers have one of the best young pitchers in Major League Baseball in Jacob Misiorowski. He’s been incredible this season, breaking out as a legitimate Cy Young candidate in the NL.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementBut the 24-year-old right-hander has a big question: how long will he be pitching in Milwaukee? It’s just his second season in the big leagues, but the long-term extension question is an interesting one.According to Robert Murray of Fansided.com, the Brewers and Misiorowski haven’t had extension talks yet. This is a little worrying for a few obvious reasons, but Brewers fans shouldn’t panic yet about this lackluster extension update.”Despite blossoming into one of the best pitchers in baseball this season, there have been no conversations between superstar right-hander Jacob Misiorowski and the Milwaukee Brewers, league sources say,” Murray reports.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThis is a noteworthy report, as Misiorowski and the Brewers are seemingly not in talks about a long-term extension, which is a little worrying.Murray notes that it would “behoove” the Brewers to start having extension talks with their ace, especially since the price tag is only going to go up.If Misiorowski keeps dominating, it’s going to cost more and more to keep him around long-term. But, beyond that, the contracts that some other pitchers receive could have a dramatic effect on his contract talks.MORE: What happened to Shohei Ohtani? Why Dodgers star won’t pitch tonight, or play in All-Star GameAdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementTarik Skubal is about to get paid a huge sum of money when he hits free agency after the 2026 season, and Paul Skenes is a bit ahead of Misiorowski, so he’d likely sign a new contract before Misiorowski does.That is, unless the Brewers are proactive and work out a long-term deal with Misiorowski soon. It would be nice for Brewers fans not to have to worry about Misiorowski leaving in the future.But there’s a reason why this is only a little worrying. Misiorowski is under club control through the 2031 season. That’s plenty of time to have him on the pitching staff and figure out what to do with him long-term as well.MORE: Cardinals sign JJ Wetherholt to eight-year, $112.5 million contract extensionAdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementAlso, as the flame-throwing right-hander missed his most recent start, the All-Star Game, and likely a start afterwards, along with the Brewers being conservative with his innings count this season, it’s a little too soon to talk big deals with Misiorowski.Pitchers aren’t like hitters when it comes to long-term deals. There’s a lot more risk involved with injury, and it’s hard to imagine Milwaukee taking on such a risk.It is a little bit worrying that there’s been no extension talks
