It’s time for Red Sox to clear path to big leagues for Anthony, Mayer

There is little left for the Red Sox’s blue-chip prospects in Roman Anthony and Marcelo Mayer to prove in the minors.
Both Anthony (MLB.com’s No. 1 prospect) and Mayer (No. 8) have already made compelling cases for a big-league call-up during their respective tenures with Triple-A Worcester in 2025.
Anthony — who turned 21 last week — is batting .322 with a .450 on-base percentage, six home runs, and 18 RBI over 42 games with the WooSox. Entering Wednesday, the future star outfielder has walked as many times (39) as he has struck out at the plate.
