On December 4, 2023, the Brewers signed Chourio to an eight-year contract worth $82 million with two club options for the 2032 and 2033 seasons. It is the largest contract given out to a player who has not reached the major leagues, surpassing Luis Robert Jr.'s six-year, $50 million contract from 2016. Baseball journalist Ken Rosenthal negatively compared the reported contract to ones previously signed by Bryce Harper and Ronald Acuña Jr.. He believed that Chourio would have been in line for a significant amount of additional money if he waited an additional nine months to two years.
