ARLINGTON, Texas — Red Sox rookie Kristian Campbell is having a week to remember — on and off the diamond.

On the night Kristian Campbell hit his first major league home run, the Red Sox rookie appears close to securing a long-term commitment from the team — just three days into his major league career. The Red Sox are deep in talks on a long-term contract extension with Campbell, according to multiple industry sources. One source close to the negotiations described a deal as “close” and a Red Sox source characterized the team as hopeful of getting a deal done as of late Saturday night.

Terms are not yet known and the team has not confirmed an agreement. But Campbell acknowledged ongoing discussions after Boston’s 4-3 loss to Texas.

“They’re talking back and forth,” he said after a 2-for-3 performance at Globe Life Field. “I know that for a fact. I’m not sure how close or not close it is but we’ve had some communications on that for sure.

“I leave that to my agents and let them talk back and forth and work out what is gonna be done. We’ll listen, for sure.”

The Red Sox, who reached deals with both Brayan Bello and Ceddanne Rafaela a year ago, have expressed interest in locking up some of their young stars all winter. While the club was unable to reach a long-term agreement with starter Garrett Crochet, they appear on the verge of securing one with one of their top prospects on the positional side. Campbell, who debuted on Opening Day, isn’t slated to hit free agency until after the 2030 season. Any agreement would extend Red Sox control over him past that date.

The Red Sox have made it a priority to extend very young players in recent years — under multiple different chief baseball officers. In 2021, the club handed Garrett Whitlock a four-year, $18.75 million extension after just one full season in the majors. Last year’s deal with Rafaela — an eight-year, $50 million guarantee — came after the defensive standout had played just 28 games in the big leagues at the end of 2023. That deal was the previous record-setter for the earliest the Red Sox have extended a player. A deal with Campbell would be the new standard-bearer at a time when the Red Sox have also expressed interest in extending the other two members of the “Big Three” — Roman Anthony and Marcelo Mayer — with what appears to be no success.

Campbell, who made the Opening Day roster despite having played just 19 games at Triple-A, has gotten off to a hot start in the majors. Through three games, the 22-year-old is 5-for-10 (.500) with a double, homer and RBI.

“He’s a hitter that controls the strike zone, makes good swing decisions and drives the ball hard to right-center,” said manager Alex Cora. “He’s feeling good about himself.”

Campbell, a fourth-round pick out of Georgia Tech in 2023, burst onto the scene with an otherworldly offensive season in the minors last year. Across three levels, the Tennessee native hit .330 with 20 homers, 77 RBIs and a .997 OPS in 115 games. He was named Baseball America’s Minor League Player of the Year and rose from the unknown to be one of the consensus top prospects in the game entering 2025.

The Red Sox, in appreciation of Campbell’s offensive capabilities and versatility as a second baseman in left fielder, entered spring training wanting to give him every chance to make the team. A late surge at the plate secured a roster spot and Campbell was informed he would be going to the majors just six days ago as the team departed Fort Myers for a two-day trip to Monterrey, Mexico.

“He’s feeling better and better,” said Cora. “If you watch his highlight reels from last year, his homers are left-center and right-center on the fastball and then he pulls the soft stuff pull-side. He’s on pitches … He’s feeling good about himself.”

It appears the Red Sox will enjoy the benefit of Campbell’s talents for years and years to come.

“He’s a good athlete,” Cora said. “There’s a lot to learn. He’s learning a lot at this level. But he’s a joy to watch.”
