The Boston Red Sox are going to be under a lot of pressure over the next couple of years to extend rookie star Roman Anthony.<\/p>\n

Anthony, 21, is still considered the number-one prospect in baseball. He could become a superstar, but Red Sox fans are also wary of their team’s commitment to keeping their homegrown stars in town, thanks to the Mookie Betts and Rafael Devers trades.<\/p>\n

However, extensions have been a theme for the Red Sox this year. They inked Kristian Campbell (eight years, $60 million) and Garrett Crochet (six years, $170 million) to long-term commitments in April.<\/p>\n

So as he’s begun to get comfortable in the big leagues, has Anthony heard anything from the Red Sox about a possible extension? Is it even something on his mind?<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, not at all. I haven\u2019t heard a peep from anyone about anything,\u201d Anthony said, per Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think right now the goal is pretty clear for me, it\u2019s to worry about showing up every day and doing what I have to do here in order to help this team win. There haven\u2019t been any talks of that and I think credit to the Red Sox for kind of letting me go out and play, but no, there hasn\u2019t been anything.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anthony’s at-bats have looked brilliant all throughout his young career, and this weekend, the results finally began to follow. He put up back-to-back multi-hit games against the Toronto Blue Jays this weekend, boosting his OPS by over 100 points (.667 through three at-bats on Sunday).<\/p>\n

Although he might think it’s too early to concern himself with the possibility of an extension, Anthony can envision himself in Boston long-term if the stars align.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s a matter of how it looks and how it works on both ends, but obviously for me and my family and my agency, knowing this is a place I came up through and yeah, I would love to play here for sure,\u201d Anthony said, per Cerullo. \u201cBut at the same time understanding and trusting who I am as a baseball player and how much I believe in myself.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut yeah, obviously I\u2019d be open to that but as far as numbers or anything like that, I don\u2019t really know, I don\u2019t know where we\u2019re at. Like I said, I\u2019m focused on finishing this year out and continuing to learn and get better every day, and we\u2019ll go from there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Until a deal gets done, Red Sox fans will have their guard up.<\/p>\n
