Red Sox Pursuing Long-Term Extensions For Top Prospects Anthony, Campbell, Mayer

Alex Speier of The Boston Globe wrote that the Red Sox are pursuing extensions of one or all of their "Big Three" prospects: Roman Anthony, Kristian Campbell, and Marcelo Mayer.

Frankly, it'd be surprising if the Sox weren't interested in extending any of these players, particularly Anthony, who spent much of last year as the consensus #1 prospect in baseball.

Teams have been wildly successful in extending some of the best prospects in baseball as or even before they play a major league game. Last season, the Brewers inked outfielder Jackson Chourio to a long-term deal with multiple team options while he was still a teenager. Chourio unsurprisingly scuffled early in the 2024 season before becoming a dark horse in the Rookie of the Year balloting, completing the season with a 3.9 fWAR in 148 games played.
