Roman Anthony signed an eight-year contract extension with the Boston Red Sox, guaranteeing him $130 million, potentially rising to $230 million. Teammate Marcelo Mayer expressed happiness for Anthony, recounting learning about the deal while watching television. The Red Sox are securing their young core by offering long-term contracts to several players under the age of 25. Mayer mentioned there haven't yet been discussions about his own contract, as he is focused on recovering from a wrist issue and returning to play.
"I was watching Narcos on the couch this morning eating a bagel and my buddy texted me about it and I opened Twitter and that's all I saw."
"The contract - which features $130 million in guaranteed salary but could escalate as high as $230 million if Anthony hits several incentives - stands as the latest move by Craig Breslow to lock up Boston's core for the long haul."
"No, not really. I'm not really focused on that right now," Mayer told MassLive's Chris Cotillo about contract talks. "I've got a lot on my plate right now trying to get back on the field with my wrist and stuff."
"We all want to get better every single day. When you're around guys like that, you become closer with them."
