Red Sox Lock In Rising Star Kristian Campbell with 8-Year, $60M Deal

The 22-year-old rookie's rapid ascent and strong MLB debut prompted Boston to secure him as a cornerstone of their future.

Kristian Campbell signed an eight-year, $60 million contract extension with the Red Sox less than a week after his MLB debut.
The 22-year-old rookie has impressed early, hitting .423 with two home runs and five RBIs in his first eight games.
Campbell, Boston's youngest Opening Day starter at second base since Reggie Smith, has shown versatility by playing multiple positions.
Red Sox leadership praised Campbell's humility, work ethic, and rapid development from a fourth-round draft pick in 2023 to a key player in 2025.
This deal follows another major extension for Garrett Crochet, reflecting the team's strategy of securing young talent for sustained success.
