Kristian Campbell, Red Sox Agree to Eight-Year Contract Extension

April 2, 2025 by Last Word On Baseball

According to Jeff Passan on X, the Boston Red Sox have agreed to an eight-year contract extension with rookie second baseman Kristian Campbell. The deal is worth $60 million and keeps Campbell in Boston until the 2034 season. There are club options in 2033 and 2024, and they can reach a guaranteed amount of $100 million over 10 years.

Red Sox and Kristian Campbell Agree to Eight-Year Deal

News broke earlier this week that a Campbell extension may be in the works after the Red Sox agreed to a six-year, $170 million extension with starting pitcher Garrett Crochet. Now that Campbell is extended, the Sox have locked up two key pieces of their future as they look to compete at the top of the American League.

Campbell, 22, was a fourth-round pick by the Red Sox in the 2023 MLB draft after earning All-American Honors at Georgia Tech. He rose through the Sox’s farm system, winning MLB Pipeline’s Hitting Prospect of the Year, MiLB Breakout Player of the Year, and Double-A Eastern League MVP in his first professional season.

Campbell entered the season as the Red Sox’s second-ranked prospect and the No. 6 overall prospect in baseball after not making a top 100 list the year prior, and he cracked the opening day roster as the team’s starting second baseman, beating out former top prospect Vaughn Grissom. Despite the club getting off to a 1-4 start, Campbell has impressed, hitting to a .375/.500/.688 line.

Campbell is the first of the Red Sox’s three big prospects to make the jump to the majors. With MLB’s No. 2-ranked prospect Roman Anthony and No. 11-ranked Marcelo Mayer soon to follow, the Sox will have one of the league’s youngest and most exciting rosters shortly. Locking up Campbell and Crochet shows that the front office is committed to winning after enduring rough years in the Chaim Bloom era.
