With a 5-0 loss to the Atlanta Braves on Saturday, the Boston Red Sox have dropped six of their last seven games, falling to 28-32 on the season. 

Boston fans are understandably frustrated with the teams' performance of late. But hope could be on the way. Possibly in the form of MLB's No. 1 prospect Roman Anthony

While no promotions officially occurred on Saturday, that didn't stop Red Sox Senior Director of Player Development Brian Abraham from dropping a little tease to WEEI's Gordo. 

"A lot of excitement coming the next couple days... little tease." Abraham said. 

With Kristian Campbell and Marcelo Mayer already playing for the big league club, fans are eagerly awaiting the call up of Anthony, which would reunite Boston's "Big Three" prospects.

Anthony, the 79th overall pick in the 2022 MLB Draft, has been tearing the cover off the ball for Triple-A Worcester. Through 52 games, Anthony is slashing .305/.435/.500 with eight home runs and 23 RBIs. He also leads the international league in walks and has a .935 OPS. 

Prior to Saturday's loss, Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow was asked about the best time to call up the 21-year-old Anthony. 

“I don’t think there’s a perfect answer to that," Breslow told reporters. "We’re trying to balance what's best for Roman and his development with where we are as a team and the way that we're prioritizing our 2025 season." 

Breslow is also very aware of the display Anthony is putting on in Triple-A. 

"I think you also have to be willing to react to the situation that you have right now, and it’s impossible to ignore the performance he’s had in Triple-A [Worcester] and how that is lining up with our struggles here at the big league level." 

Per a report from Chris Henrique of Boston Sports Journal, the Red Sox will be selecting the contract of Anthony's Worcester teammate Nate Eaton, an infielder/outfielder, prior to Sunday's game. 

Whether this was the "little tease" Abraham was referring to, Red Sox fans will just have to wait and see.
