At the age of 37, Aroldis Chapman has proven he can still be a very effective weapon in the game’s late innings. The Boston Red Sox reportedly are ready to invest in that continuing in the future as well.
According to Red Sox beat writer Chris Cotillo, Chapman and the Red Sox agreed to a contract extension on Saturday that will extend the closer through the 2026 season. Cotillo also added that there is a vesting/mutual option included as well, meaning Chapman’s stay in Boston could even potentially be extended longer.
Jon Heyman of The New York Post had reported on Thursday that the Red Sox were interested in bringing back Chapman. Judging by the contract’s initial reports, Boston was willing to pay ahead to keep Chapman in the fold.
