The Opener: Campbell, Twins, A's
Briefly

In the 2025 regular season, the Red Sox are reportedly close to finalizing a contract extension with star prospect Kristian Campbell, which would extend his team control. Meanwhile, the Minnesota Twins plan to designate pitcher Randy Dobnak for assignment as they look to enhance their bullpen. Dobnak's contract situation makes his outright assignment to Triple-A more feasible, as he is unlikely to be claimed on waivers. These roster moves reflect strategic decisions as teams navigate player contracts and team performance.
"Over the weekend, it was reported that the Red Sox and star prospect Kristian Campbell were 'deep' into talks regarding a contract extension."
"If a deal were to be finalized, it would guarantee the 22-year-old a life-changing sum while allowing Boston to keep a potential star beyond his years under team control."
"Yesterday, it was reported that right-hander Randy Dobnak is set to be designated for assignment by the Twins as the club looks to freshen up its bullpen."
"The decision to DFA Dobnak isn't exactly a shocking one. The right-hander lacks the requisite service time to reject an outright assignment while still being paid the remaining $4MM on his contract."
