<p>He'll now be guaranteed $26 million over two years if he pitches at least 40 innings next summer. If he doesn't, he would receive a $300,000 buyout unless both sides accept a mutual option otherwise.</p>
<p>The 37-year-old closer is in the midst of one of his best seasons to date in his first campaign in Boston. He holds a career-best 1.04 ERA in 57 games and 52 innings pitched, and he converted his 27th save of the season Sunday while helping the Red Sox grab a 5-2 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates.</p>

<p>Chapman has gone 15 games without allowing a hit, the longest in Red Sox history. That's the longest streak in Major League Baseball since Toronto Blue Jays closer Sergio Santos did so in 2013.</p>
<p>Chapman has 362 saves in his career. The Cuban native got his start in the league in 2010 with the Cincinnati Reds, where he spent six seasons before a seven-year run with the New York Yankees. He's also spent time with the Chicago Cubs, Kansas City Royals, Texas Rangers and Pittsburgh Pirates.</p>
<p>With their win Sunday, the Red Sox are 76-62 record. That has them third in the AL East, 3.5 games behind the Blue Jays in the division race. Boston is currently on pace to secure a wild-card spot. That would send the franchise back to the postseason for the first time since 2021.</p>
