Roman Anthony News: Sends loud message he's ready

Anthony went 1-for-4 with a walk, a grand slam and an additional run scored for Triple-A Worcester on Saturday.

Anthony delivered a message that he's ready for the major leagues in the eighth inning when he swatted a 497-foot grand slam that left his bat at a velocity of 115.6 mph. It was the longest home run measured by Statcast at any level in 2025 and the fifth longest since 2015. There isn't much left for Boston's top prospect to prove at Triple-A, and the Red Sox's disjointed performance this season suggests they could use him. Boston has a logjam of outfielders, but Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic proposed a scenario in which Anthony is promoted and replaces struggling second baseman Kristian Campbell, with Jarren Duran moving from left field to center and Ceddanne Rafaela sharing second base with David Hamilton.
