PORTLAND, Maine — A recent trend around baseball has seen teams reward top prospects with long-term extensions before they even make their major league debuts. Just last winter, the Tigers locked up infielder Colt Keith for six years and $28.6 million and the Brewers signed outfielder Jackson Chourio to a record-setting eight-year, $82 million deal before either player reached the big leagues.

Could the Red Sox, who extended young big leaguers Brayan Bello and Ceddanne Rafaela earlier this spring, follow suit? It’s possible because the types of blue-chip prospects the team currently has in the organization. Outfielder Roman Anthony, shortstop Marcelo Mayer and catcher Kyle Teel are the types of players who the team may want to commit to at the early stages of their careers, but so far, it doesn’t appear there has been any traction with any of them.

All three players are currently with Double-A Portland, two stops away from the majors. And while they’re all candidates to reach Boston by the end of the year, it doesn’t appear contract extensions are on the horizon in 2024.

“It’s not something I’ve considered at all,” Mayer said before Friday’s Sea Dogs game at Hadlock Field. “I’m just going out there, playing my game, playing hard, having a good time with my teammates. Whatever happens, happens. That’s not really up to me to decide. The only thing I can control is going out there and doing what I can.”
