This was a swing that only superstar-caliber players can put up in-game. Anthony is a special talent.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-11\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">At this point, what more do the Red Sox need to see? Anthony entered Saturday&#8217;s action slashing .291\/.422\/.485 in 56 games, and he just launched his 10th home run of the year in grand style. Sure, the Red Sox have a full outfield, but none of Jarren Duran, Ceddanne Rafaela, or Wilyer Abreu have close to Anthony&#8217;s upside.<\/p>\n<div id=\"inarticle_d_1_6\" class=\"mm-slot-content\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"inline-text-12\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">If he&#8217;s MLB-ready, and all indications are that he is, there&#8217;s no reason to keep him in Triple-A, especially when the Red Sox are scuffling. They can figure out how to make the playing time work, and can even do so\u00a0without trading Duran.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-13\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Anthony has the tools to eventually be one of the best players in the majors, and a beloved figure in Boston for years to come. He already has a perfect new nickname. Now, it&#8217;s time for Breslow to make the long-awaited call.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<div>\n<div class=\"css-j7qwjs\">\n<div class=\"css-1rwzck\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><main class=\"min-w-0 flex-1\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"viewablity-block\">\n<figure class=\"player-wrapper relative aspect-video mb-[18px] bg-grey rounded-md hidden player-wrapper-lg md:block\"><\/figure>\n<div class=\"article-content\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/main><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Red Sox fans can&#8217;t wait to embrace this nickname when Roman Anthony finally makes his MLB debut. 2025 MLB Spring Breakout | Maddie Malhotra\/Boston Red Sox\/GettyImages Roman&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":54329,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-54328","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 -
