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.

Yankees Brutally Dump Veteran Pitcher 24 Hours After Calling Him Up From Minors
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Carlos "Cookie" Carrasco started six games for the New York Yankees this season, providing much-needed help to an injury-battered pitching staff. But with a 5.91 ERA and 2-2 record, the Yankees designated Carrasco for assignment on May 6. The 38-year-old, 16-year veteran — who was signed to a minor league deal by the Yankees before spring training but pitched his way onto the big league roster — accepted his demotion to Triple-A, but on Sunday he got the call. He would be rejoining the Yankees for their final game of a three-game set against the Los Angeles Dodgers. About 24 hours later, Carrasco was gone again. He did not get into the Sunday game against the Dodgers, and the Yankees then placed Carrasco on outright waivers, meaning he can now be claimed by any other team. NEW YORK, NY - APRIL 25: Carlos Carrasco #59 of the New York Yankees looks on during the game against the Toronto Blue Jays at Yankee Stadium on April 25, 2025 in New York, New... NEW YORK, NY - APRIL 25: Carlos Carrasco #59 of the New York Yankees looks on during the game against the Toronto Blue Jays at Yankee Stadium on April 25, 2025 in New York, New York. More New"It seems unlikely that Carrasco will be claimed. He just cleared less than a month ago and hasn't been in great form since," explained Darragh McDonald of MLB Trade Rumors. "However, it's also theoretically possible that there's a team which has been snakebit by injuries of late and is more willing to take a chance on Carrasco now than they were just a few weeks ago." Carrasco broke into the major leagues with the Cleveland Guardians (then still known as the Indians) in 2009. In 12 seasons with Cleveland, he won 91 games against 83 losses with a 3.91 ERA. Cleveland traded him to the New York Mets, for whom he pitched from 2021 to 2023 — earning a total of $38 million over those three seasons. More MLB: Trade Idea Lets Yankees Get Rid of Carlos Carrasco For MLB-Ready Righty Prospect After he spent last season back in Cleveland, the Yankees offered the Barquisimeto, Venezuela, native a $1.3 million minor league deal for this year, which he accepted. Now, it appears that his brief, up-and-down Yankees career is over. "Not unexpectedly, Carlos Carrasco was with the Yankees for just one day as pitching depth protection and was placed on outright waivers," reported New York Post columnist Joel Sherman. "With no unexpected setbacks, the (Yankees) were lined up to activate Fernando Cruz from the IL on Tuesday." If Carrasco goes unclaimed on the waiver wire, he can elect to declare free agency, or accept another minor league assignment if the Yankees choose to offer him one.
