Veteran first baseman Eric Hosmer has exercised his $13 million contract option with the Boston Red Sox for the 2023 season, according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post.
He's now locked into the next two years of the deal before holding another player option for 2025, per Spotrac.
The Red Sox acquired Hosmer from the San Diego Padres at the Aug. 2 trade deadline in exchange for minor league left-hander Jay Groome. The deal came after he declined to be sent to the Washington Nationals in the Juan Soto trade.
