While the New York Yankees tumble nearly out of the playoff picture, the Boston Red Sox continue to surge in spite of their front office seemingly holding them back. The Yankees' chief rivals are the top AL Wild Card team and are making a push for the division as their winning streak reaches seven games.
On Tuesday, they kept the fun going by signing Roman Anthony to an eight-year, $130 million extension. After just 46 games at the MLB level, Anthony is hitting .283 with an .828 OPS and 132 OPS+. And that's after he was terrible across his first week of action.
