One of the big stories heading into the final days of Red Sox camp ahead of the regular season was that of extensions, most notably for players like Xander Bogaerts and Rafael Devers, but also with other impending free agents like Nathan Eovaldi. Nothing materialized in those talks, and for the most part extensions are not negotiated into the regular season. We got a reminder on Sunday, however, that this is not a hard and fast rule. Out of nowhere, the Red Sox announced early Sunday morning that they had agreed to terms on an extension with right-handed pitcher Garrett Whitlock.
