Roman Anthony Sends One-Word Message Amid Call-Up to Red Sox

Morrison-O'Day asked Anthony as he was driving away from the team facility if he was getting the call-up. Anthony provided just a one-word reaction and answer, "Yeah." Anthony said. 

It's a short answer, and little more than a basic response, but it's the first that the Red Sox fandom has heard from Anthony after his call-up to the Major Leagues.

His MLB debut is bound to draw a lot of attention, and his first reaction to the media after getting the call will get plenty of attention as well.

Anthony, hitting .288 in Triple-A for the Red Sox, has been putting on a show. Just a few days before getting called-up, Anthony hit a home run that went 497 feet, the furthest home run across professional baseball in 2025.

On the year, Anthony has 61 hits, 45 runs scored, 9 doubles, 2 triples, 10 home runs, 29 RBIs, and an impressive 51 walks through 58 games. His OPS is an incredible .914, and he's been one of the best players within the Red Sox's Minor League system in 2025.

After being selected in the second round, at 79th overall in the 2022 MLB Draft, Anthony is finally getting the call to the Major Leagues. His first public comments after being called up weren't much, but his calm demeanor is hopefully a sign of things to come for the talented rookie.
