Outfielder Roman Anthony and the Boston Red Sox completed an eight-year, $130 million contract extension on Wednesday. The deal, which is unofficial pending a physical, includes a club option that would keep Anthony in Boston through the 2034 season.

Signing 21-year-old Roman Anthony to an eight-year, $130 million contract extension on Wednesday obviously made sense. He’s a gifted player who has impressed teammates with his focus on winning instead of his own achievements. On and off the field Anthony has said and done all the right things since being called up on June 9.
