While the Kansas City Royals seem to have their hands full at the moment with the Boston Red Sox, as they look to not get swept by their American League Wild Card rivals on Wednesday, the Sox have had a different focus.
Early in the afternoon, ESPN's Jeff Passan reported that Boston and their rookie phenom Roman Anthony were in the process of finalizing an eight-year, $130 million contract extension that would kick in in 2026.
Anthony is having himself quite the rookie campaign since being called up on June 9.
