Rookie second baseman Kristian Campbell and the Boston Red Sox agreed to an eight-year extension Wednesday, marking the earliest in a career the Red Sox have ever locked up a player to a multiyear deal.
The extension is worth $60 million, sources told ESPN.
Barely a week into Campbell's time in the big leagues, the Red Sox showed even more faith Campbell than they had by breaking camp with him. The deal, which will go through the 2034 season, includes two club options, sources told ESPN.
Campbell, 22, was the consensus minor league player of the year in 2024 after an out-of-nowhere star-making performance.
