24-year-old right-hander Brayan Bello and the Boston Red Sox have reached a six-year, $55 million contract extension with a seventh-year club option worth $21 million. Bello, known for his impressive changeup, had a successful first full season in 2024 with a 4.24 ERA. The Red Sox aim to rely on Bello to bolster their rotation for the coming years, especially with other pitching prospects in their farm system. The team\'s rotation also includes Nick Pivetta, Kutter Crawford, Tanner Houck, and Garrett Whitlock. The Red Sox attempted to strengthen their pitching staff in the offseason but missed out on notable free agent signings like Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
