<p>Outfielder Roman Anthony and the Boston Red Sox completed an eight-year, $130 million contract extension on Wednesday.</p>
<p>The deal, which is unofficial pending a physical, includes a club option that would keep Anthony in Boston through the 2034 season.</p>
<p>Anthony said before the Red Sox lost 7-3 to the visiting Kansas City Royals on Wednesday evening, "We're playing such great baseball. I didn't want to be a distraction to anyone. But I knew that this is where I wanted to be, and I'm having a blast. And I just wanted to continue that."</p>
<p>Red Sox manager Alex Cora said of the 21-year-old, "The future of the organization is in great hands."</p>
<p>Anthony created a buzz before he suited up with the Red Sox by launching a 497-foot grand slam for Triple-A Worcester on June 7.</p>
<p>Called up to Boston two days after that blast, Anthony is batting .276 with a .392 on-base percentage, a .417 slugging percentage, two homers, 15 doubles and 19 RBIs through 47 games with the Red Sox.</p>
<p>He had hit safely in each of his past eight games before sitting out on Monday and Tuesday due to tightness in his back. Anthony returned to go 0-for-4 while batting leadoff for Boston on Wednesday.</p>
<p>Anthony was selected by the Red Sox in the second round of the 2022 draft.</p>
