00:00Outfielder Roman Anthony and the Boston Red Sox are finalizing an eight-year, $130 million contract extension.

00:09The deal, which is pending a physical, includes a club option and will keep Anthony under team control through 2034.

00:17Two words.

00:18Hell.

00:19Yeah, Keefe.

00:20That's fantastic.

00:21You know.

00:21Your guy Breslow.

00:22Your guy Breslow.

00:23You know they're feeling it after the Devers trade.

00:26People are like, where are you spending your money?

00:28If it bullied him into signing Roman Anthony, then good.

00:31I'm happy Roman Anthony is signing.

00:32Maybe that's what he's been doing.

00:33Maybe that's why I had to scratch it for a couple of days out of the lineup.

00:35Get him signed up.

00:36Who could possibly have a problem with that?

00:38Awesome deal.

00:38Awesome contract.

00:39Eight years.

00:40Oh, wait.

00:40I asked too soon.

00:42Do you not like that he's rushing to get the money?

00:44No, I was just going to say.

00:45Is that what you don't like?

00:46My thing.

00:47My take.

00:48Now, it's had to be altered.

00:50Oh, boy.

00:51Hold on a second.

00:52Let me finish.

00:52Can I finish?

00:53Can I finish?

00:54I can't finish.

00:56No, I've had to actually change this.

00:57This used to be a piping hot take of mine.

01:00I've had to change it.

01:02Great players don't sign real early.

01:04Great, great, truly great players don't sign real early.

01:07Sadon Raphael is looking pretty good.

01:09So maybe Sadon Raphael, who signed early and didn't bet on himself completely.

01:13Brian Baio.

01:13Brian Baio is another one.

01:15The American League as of yesterday.

01:16I didn't check the updates today.

01:17Now, Christian Campbell.

01:18Well.

01:19Christian Campbell, maybe not.

01:19And there's got some other ones around the league.

01:21He's got some time.

01:22Now, this is interesting because they clearly were feeling the pressure.

01:26They had a horrible trade deadline.

01:29They traded Devers.

01:30They didn't spend any of his money.

01:32Roman Anthony wasn't going to go away anytime soon.

01:35He was under team control for how long?

01:38Oh, I mean.

01:38Like, for almost as long as this deal is.

01:41Can I just tell you something?

01:42Doesn't it just piss you off they didn't call him up?

01:43Or it wasn't the whole thing about not calling him up?

01:45Manipulating his service time?

01:46Probably.

01:46And, like, that's even more annoying now.

01:48But whatever.

01:49That's a side topic.

01:49I'm happy they paid him.

01:51I, unlike you, I still believe in him despite him taking the money.

01:55Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:55Well, no, I believe in this guy.

01:57And so, no, I, great deal.
