Kristian Campbell was not only the first of the “Big Three” to make his big-league debut with the Red Sox. The gifted prospect also signed a long-term contract extension with Boston, inking a deal that could keep him with the Red Sox for 10 years and close to $100 million.
It was a surprising development, given that Campbell had played less than a full week of MLB action before putting pen to paper on a deal with the Red Sox. But it stood as a prudent deal for the Red Sox, who now have a potential franchise fixture signed for the long haul on a deal that could become a bargain if Campbell reaches his potential.
