For several years, the Red Sox had some trouble getting many of their top young players to sign an extension. That wasn’t the case with Kristian Campbell, though.
Campbell and the Red Sox agreed to an eight-year extension on Wednesday, just a few days after it was reported that the two sides were nearing an agreement. In fact, Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow shared Saturday that talks with Campbell’s agent, Dan Horwits of Beverly Hills Sports, were going so well during their opening series in Texas that he missed the team bus for one of their games.
