Boston Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow thinks the world of Roman Anthony. Breslow also appears to think that Anthony is prepared to carry the Red Sox empire on his 21-year-old shoulders, a belief that might end up biting Boston.
In speaking with reporters this week, Breslow suggested that, contrary to fan and analyst opinion, the 2026 Red Sox lineup isn't lacking in power ... due in large part to Anthony. While Breslow also mentioned Wilyer Abreu and newcomer Willson Contreras in his remarks, it's obvious that Breslow and the Red Sox leadership have handed the offense's steering wheel over to Anthony.
