The Red Sox have agreed to an extension with left-hander Aroldis Chapman that will keep the star reliever in town for the 2026 season, according to a report from Francys Romero of BeisbolFR. Romero adds that the deal includes an option for the 2027 season, which Chris Cotillo of MassLive adds is a vesting/mutual option. The total guarantee of the deal and the specifics of the 2027 option are not yet known, but Cotillo adds that Chapman will earn “around” $13MM in 2026.

More to come.
