Red Sox, Brayan Bello Deep In Contract Extension Talks
9 months agoThe Boston Red Sox and right-hander Brayan Bello are in deep talks in regards to a contract extension. The potential extension is of the long-term variety and would keep the 24-year-old in Boston beyond the 2028 season. Bello isn't arbitration-eligible until 2026 and has a pair of option years remaining. He made 28 starts for the Red Sox in the 2023 season, working to a 4.24 ERA, 13% K-BB%, and a healthy 56.2% ground-ball rate. He struck out just 19.8% of the hitters he faced a season ago but he also has a history of big-time strikeout rates throughout his minor-league career. He is a decent fantasy option but projects for a 20.2% K% in the 2024 season by ATC but his 4.28 projected ERA could play in deep leagues.
