Red Sox pitcher Brayan Bello has agreed to a contract extension worth $55 million over six years, according to ESPN’s Kiley McDaniel.
The Red Sox will also have a seventh-year club option worth $21 million, according to McDaniel.
“The sixth year of Bello’s deal covers what would’ve been his first year of free agency, with the club option covering a potential second,” wrote McDaniel.
The 24-year-old right-hander went 14-19 with a 4.37 ERA over two seasons in Boston.
Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow told Julian McWilliams and Alex Speier of The Boston Globe on Wednesday that he’s excited for Bello’s future.
