The Boston Red Sox are finalizing an eight-year, $130 million contract extension with 21-year-old outfielder Roman Anthony, potentially reaching $230 million with incentives and a club option. The deal covers 2026-33, buying out six years of club control and potentially three free-agent years. This makes Anthony's contract the third-largest guarantee for a player with under a year of major league service. Anthony's strong performance in the minors and early major league success justified the substantial investment, solidifying him as a core player for the Red Sox.
