The Atlanta Braves have become a model franchise over the last few years. Unfortunately, they've hit a speed bump in 2025, but they still have one of the best core teams in baseball. This influence, especially when it comes to contract extensions, has continued to spread among other MLB teams.
Most recently, the Boston Red Sox locked up one of their young talents with a long-term extension. ESPN's Jeff Passan reported that Roman Anthony is in agreement on an eight-year, $130 million contract (pending physical).
According to reports, this deal includes a club option that keeps him under team control through 2034.
