By Canadian Press on April 2, 2025.

BALTIMORE (AP) — Kristian Campbell agreed to an eight-year contract with the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday, less than a week after his major league debut.

Campbell’s deal includes team options for 2033 and ’34.

A 22-year-old infielder and outfielder, Campbell made his big league debut March 27 as Boston’s youngest opening day starter at second since Reggie Smith.

He entered Wednesday hitting .375 (6 for 16) with two doubles, one homer, two RBIs and four walks.

Campbell’s new deal supersedes a one-year contract paying the $760,000 minimum while in the major leagues.
