Red Sox World Series Champion Makes Bold Roman Anthony Prediction

“I smell greatness,” Millar said on Intentional Talk. “This isn’t a fake number one prospect. I met him on March 1st. He and Marcelo Mayer came over, and they are the sweetest guys. There is a humbleness to them, and there's a projection that I look at.”

Millar continues by highlighting the legitimacy of Anthony and the impact he will have on Boston.

“When you’re looking at a kid that hits balls 500 feet, and he’s kind of sneaky hot. I’ll be honest with you. I don’t know if there’s anything sneaky about him, but this young man is going to have a great career. I think when you have a team like the Red Sox right now, they need this energy.”

Anthony joins Marcelo Mayer and Kristian Campbell in Boston, marking the first time the club’s highly touted trio of prospects is together at the major league level. 

For a team hovering around mediocrity and struggling to find consistent momentum, the promotion signals a shift toward the future — and a hope that youth can ignite a turnaround.

Anthony followed up his MLB debut by going 1-4 with a double and two RBIs in a 3-1 win against the Tampa Bay Rays.
