The Boston Red Sox are off to a bit of a slow start this season. They're 1-4 through their first five games of the 2025 season. This comes after they signed Alex Bregman, Aroldis Chapman and Walker Buehler and also traded for Garrett Crochet.

The Red Sox have made it a priority to lock up younger players of late and Campbell is the latest example of that. Here’s what those around MLB are saying after the Red Sox signed Campbell to a long-term extension.

The Boston Red Sox and second baseman Kristian Campbell have agreed to an eight-year, $60-million contract extension, according to multiple sources. Jeff Passan of ESPN had this to add on the deal:

“Rookie second baseman Kristian Campbell and the Boston Red Sox are in agreement on a eight-year, $60 million contract extension that includes two club options, sources tell ESPN. Campbell, 22, is expected to be a franchise cornerstone and is now locked up through 2034,” Jeff Passan of ESPN reported in a post on X, formerly Twitter.
