With just 38 major league games under his belt, center fielder Ceddanne Rafaela has agreed to a contract extension with the Boston Red Sox, according to multiple reports.
It will be an eight-year deal worth $50 million, per reports, meaning Rafaela will be in Boston through the 2031 season, pending a physical.
The Red Sox have not yet confirmed the extension.
Rafaela, Boston's No. 4 prospect according to MLB.com, won the starting job in center field in spring training but can also play shortstop.
With Trevor Story landing on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a shoulder injury, the Red Sox are contemplating a move to shortstop for Rafaela, The Athletic reported.
