It certainly sounds like the Boston Red Sox want to do things a little differently.<\/p>\n

Boston got a lot of flack for years after the way things were handled with homegrown stars like Mookie Betts and Xander Bogaerts. Since then, the Red Sox clearly have started to change their ways. Boston handed Rafael Devers a 10-year, $313.5 million and have started looking into extending core pieces earlier.<\/p>\n

The Red Sox extended both Brayan Bello and Ceddanne Rafaela among others and have reportedly spoken to Garrett Crochet about a new deal. There also have been reports that the team could be open to\u00a0extending their top prospects\u00a0before even getting to the big leagues, including Roman Anthony, Kristian Campbell, and Marcelo Mayer.<\/p>\n

Anthony\u00a0discussed the possibility\u00a0while speaking with MassLive.com’s Chris Cotillo.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo be honest, for me, I haven\u2019t talked to anybody about it,\u201d Anthony said. \u201cIt hasn\u2019t really been a topic of conversation. It\u2019s not really something I\u2019m focused on. Obviously, being an 18-year-old kid drafted by the Boston Red Sox, this is the team I\u2019ve grown to love and the only organization I know. Being a Red Sox for however long it might be would be great and I don\u2019t want to leave. But it\u2019s something that has been floating around that hasn\u2019t really been a topic of conversation for us.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not really worried about money. I just want to play the game. Obviously, if it\u2019s a route we go down and explore, I think it would be awesome just to be in conversations of that structure. But it\u2019s not something we\u2019ve even talked about yet.\u201d<\/p>\n

This seems like a win-win for both sides. Boston would secure the top prospect in baseball for longer than expected and he would get paid more than he typically would at this stage in his career. Boston should get the conversation started as fast as possible.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
