The storied franchise made it official Wednesday afternoon when it announced an eight-year extension for the 22-year-old, who reportedly was guaranteed $60 million but can make up to $100 million on his new deal.<\/p>\n<p>Alex Cora was asked about Boston\u2019s long-term pact with Campbell a few hours after the press release went out, and the Red Sox manager revealed how the youngster immediately showcased his appreciation for the investment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverybody\u2019s excited,\u201d Cora said on \u201cWEEI Afternoons.\u201d \u201cYesterday, we had a team dinner. We were planning on doing that on the off day regardless of if we were 0-5 or 5-0. We celebrated with the kid, you know? Actually, he picked up part of the tab.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s fair to wonder \u2014 or perhaps assume \u2014 if another chunk of the bill was picked up by Garrett Crochet, who signed his own extension with Boston on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>Campbell and Crochet will try to help the Red Sox get back in the win column Wednesday when they meet the Orioles for the middle contest of their three-game series in Baltimore.
