Outfielder Roman Anthony and the Boston Red Sox completed an eight-year, $130 million contract extension on Wednesday.
The deal, which is unofficial pending a physical, includes a club option that would keep Anthony in Boston through the 2034 season.
Anthony said before the Red Sox lost 7-3 to the visiting Kansas City Royals on Wednesday evening, 'We're playing such great baseball. I didn't want to be a distraction to anyone. But I knew that this is where I wanted to be, and I'm having a blast. And I just wanted to continue that.'
Red Sox manager Alex Cora said of the 21-year-old, 'The future of the organization is in great hands.'
Anthony created a buzz before he suited up with the Red Sox by launching a 497-foot grand slam for Triple-A Worcester on June 7.
Called up to Boston two days after that blast, Anthony is batting .276 with a .392 on-base percentage, a .417 slugging percentage, two homers, 15 doubles and 19 RBIs through 47 games with the Red Sox.
He had hit safely in each of his past eight games before sitting out on Monday and Tuesday due to tightness in his back. Anthony returned to go 0-for-4 while batting leadoff for Boston on Wednesday.
Anthony was selected by the Red Sox in the second round of the 2022 draft.
