Following his first major league home run, rookie Kristian Campbell is reportedly in 'deep' contract extension talks with the Red Sox. Given Campbell's status as a top prospect, expectations are for a lucrative deal, potentially surpassing the eight-year, $50 million contract given to another prospect, Ceddanne Rafaela. Early evaluations of Campbell's performance are positive, though it's noted that drawing conclusions after only a few games is premature. The conversation also touches on Rafael Devers' unusual start to the season, striking out ten times in just three games, and the team's past interest in pitcher Chris Martin.
Given his pedigree as one of baseball's elite prospects, Campbell will get more than that. Look for something closer to the eight-year, $82 million deal that Jackson Chourio signed with the Brewers.
If he does sign here for a decade or more, then that means we'll have a lot more opportunities to see him shut up certain local radio personalities.
