The Red Sox are apparently extremely close to signing a deal with Brayan Bello that would likely buy out his arbitration years and tack on an additional year or two of control. By all accounts, it seems that the deal is essentially done, but the team is waiting until they’re in Bello’s native Dominican Republic this weekend to make the announcement. This is good news! It really is! We should note, though, that Bello already is under team control through 2028. So what we’re really talking about here is a deal that will likely pay Bello a little more than he’d otherwise get from 2024-2028, and then a little less than he’d otherwise get in, say, 2029 and 2030.
