Red Sox signing star rookie Roman Anthony to $130 million contract

The Red Sox only needed 46 games to commit nine figures to Roman Anthony.

The star rookie agreed to an eight-year, $130 million contract extension that could be worth up to $230 million, The Post’s Jon Heyman confirmed.

The contract contains a team option and begins next season, and keeps Anthony, 21, under team control through 2034, as first reported by ESPN.

The escalators reportedly include where he finishes in this year’s AL Rookie of the Year race, and will buy out either three or four years of free agency.

Anthony has looked every part of the top prospect status he earned in the minors.

The corner outfielder is slashing .283/.400/.828 with two homers and 19 RBIs, amassing 1.8 WAR as assigned by Baseball Reference.

He’s shown an incredible eye for such a young hitter, walking 26 times in 190 plate appearances.

Anthony’s .400 on-base percentage would rank second to just Aaron Judge’s .446 mark entering Wednesday if the rookie had enough at-bats to qualify for the batting title.

His June promotion has coincided with the Red Sox’s rise from afterthoughts to sudden American League contenders.

The Red Sox (64-51) sat at 32-35 before he made his debut June 9, and they are 30-16 in the 46 games he’s appeared in to grab control of the first AL wild-card spot.

Boston is riding a seven-game winning streak entering Wednesday’s series finale against the Royals.

The Red Sox have been aggressive in locking up their young talent this season, previously securing Kristian Campbell on an eight-year, $60 million deal.

Campbell, though, produced just a .664 OPS before being demoted to the minors.

He slashed just .223/.319/.345 spanning 67 games and 229 at-bats, while struggling defensively at second base.

Boston secured ace Garrett Crochet on a six-year, $170 million contract after acquiring him during the offseason and he’s a strong candidate for the AL Cy Young, along with Detroit’sTarik Skubal.
