Roman Anthony Drops 1-Word Message on Social Media After Signing Red Sox Contract

The Boston Red Sox signed Roman Anthony to an eight-year, $130 million deal on Wednesday. According to The Athletic’s Jen McCaffrey, it is the largest contract for any player on the team with fewer than 150 at-bats.
Anthony was the No. 1 prospect in baseball coming into the season, and now the Red Sox have ensured that he will stay in Boston through at least 2033. Anthony posted a one-word message on Instagram after signing the deal.
“Home,” Anthony wrote on Instagram, accompanied by a picture of him in his Red Sox uniform.

Anthony is slashing .276/.392/.417 in 47 games with the team. He noted that he wanted to move quickly when presented with an offer.
“When the offer came through, it was something that I wanted to move quick on,” Anthony said, per McCaffrey. “There was no doubt that this is where I wanted to play baseball for a long time.”
His deal can reach up to $230.2 million thanks to escalators and a $30 million club option for 2034. Anthony joins Ceddanne Rafaela and Kristian Campbell as part of the Red Sox’s young core to sign early extensions.
Marcelo Mayer has not signed an extension yet, but signing him would ensure that the long-awaited big three of Campbell, Anthony and Mayer will all remain in Boston for years to come.
With the extension now squared away, the Red Sox and Anthony can focus on getting the team into the postseason and trying to make a deep run in October.
