Red Sox Near Long-Term Deal with Rising Star Kristian Campbell

The 22-year-old second baseman has impressed in his MLB debut, prompting advanced talks for a contract extension just days into his career.

Kristian Campbell, drafted in the fourth round in 2023, has quickly risen through the Red Sox system to become their starting second baseman.
The Red Sox are reportedly close to finalizing a long-term contract extension with Campbell, though the length and value remain undisclosed.
Campbell has had a strong start to his MLB career, going 5-for-10 with a home run and a double in his first three games.
His versatility has been a key factor for the team, as he has played both second base and left field, influencing lineup decisions for players like Alex Bregman and Rafael Devers.
The negotiations align with the Red Sox's strategy under Craig Breslow to secure young talent for the long term, following similar deals with other prospects in recent years.
