Craig Breslow shuts down Roman Anthony to first base speculation: ‘Try to keep him where he’s comfortable’

The Red Sox don’t appear to be in a rush to promote baseball’s No. 2 prospect Roman Anthony to Boston.

The team doesn’t plan on changing the 20-year-old’s position while he’s in the minor leagues, either.

Anthony, an outfielder, has never played the infield in the Red Sox organization since being drafted in 2022. But a post on X by 98.5 The Sports Hub’s Tony Massarotti last month stirred the pot by saying he should.

“If I’m the Red Sox, I start playing Roman Anthony at first base in Worcester,” the “Felger and Mazz” co-host said on April 8.
