Red Sox Secure Future Ace: Brayan Bello Inks $55M Extension
March 8, 2024
The Boston Red Sox have secured a six-year, $55 million contract extension with 24-year-old pitcher Brayan Bello, with a potential seventh-year team option.
Brayan Bello displayed a promising performance in his first full MLB season with a 4.24 ERA and 132 strikeouts over 157.0 innings.
Bello's commitment is particularly significant as the Red Sox rotation faces challenges with Lucas Giolito's potential absence for the 2024 season due to injury.
This contract marks Brayan Bello as the first of the Red Sox's young core to be locked in with a long-term deal.
The Red Sox are coming off a challenging season, having finished last in the AL East with a 78-84 record.
