Roman Anthony has been in the big leagues for nearly two months, and the Boston Red Sox have, understandably, liked what they've seen. The Red Sox and Anthony on August 6 agreed to a deal that will keep him in Boston for a long time.
The Red Sox and Anthony are finalizing an eight-year, $130 million extension, first reported by MLB insider Jeff Passan. The deal will begin in 2026 and it contains escalators that could lift the maximum value to $230 million. Anthony could also hit free agency sooner, depending on where he finishes in the Rookie of the Year race.
