Scorching Red Sox signing star rookie Roman Anthony to $130 million contract
The Red Sox only needed 46 games to commit nine figures to Roman Anthony. The star rookie agreed to an eight-year, $130 million contract extension that could be worth up to $230 million, The Post's Jon Heyman confirmed. The contract contains a team option and begins next season, and keeps Anthony, 21, under team control through 2034, as first reported by ESPN. Roman Anthony will be in Boston for a long time. Brian Fluharty-Imagn Images The escalators reportedly include where he finishes in this year's AL Rookie of the Year race, and will buy out either three or four years of free agency. Anthony has looked every part of the top prospect status he earned in the minors. The corner outfielder is slashing .283/.400/.828 with two homers and 19 RBIs, amassing 1.8 WAR as assigned by Baseball Reference. He's shown an incredible eye for such a young hitter, walking 26 times in 190 plate appearances. Roman Anthony has a great on-base percentage. AP Anthony's .400 on-base percentage would rank second to just Aaron Judge's .446 mark entering Wednesday if the rookie had enough at-bats to qualify for the batting title. His June promotion has coincided with the Red Sox's rise from afterthoughts to sudden American League contenders. The Red Sox (64-51) sat at 32-35 before he made his debut June 9, and they are 30-16 in the 46 games he's appeared in to grab control of the first AL wild-card spot. Boston is riding a seven-game winning streak entering Wednesday's series finale against the Royals. The Red Sox have been aggressive in locking up their young talent this season, previously securing Kristian Campbell on an eight-year, $60 million deal. Campbell, though, produced just a .664 OPS before being demoted to the minors. He slashed just .223/.319/.345 spanning 67 games and 229 at-bats, while struggling defensively at second base. Boston secured ace Garrett Crochet on a six-year, $170 million contract after acquiring him during the offseason and he's a strong candidate for the AL Cy Young, along with Detroit'sTarik Skubal.

Tre Johnson had a hilarious reason for wearing No. 12 with the Wizards
Tre was so real for his answer 🤣 After wearing No. 20 as a freshman at Texas, rookie Tre Johnson will begin his career in the NBA with the Washington Wizards with a new look on the court. Johnson chose No. 20 to pay tribute to his father, Richard Johnson Jr., who wore it for four years at Baylor University and Midwestern State (Texas). Richard was inducted into the Midwestern State Hall of Honor after finishing with 1,009 points in two seasons. The sixth pick in the 2025 NBA draft was forced to change numbers as second-year center Alexandre Sarr currently wears No. 20. He went with No. 12 and revealed a hilarious reason why he chose it during his introductory press conference on June 28. While it appears as though there was little to no meaning behind choosing No. 12, Johnson still found a way to represent his father in the NBA: He asked the Wizards to include "Johnson III" on his jersey since he was named after him. Johnson was the SEC Freshman of the Year last season, averaging 19.9 points, 3.1 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 33 games on 39.7% shooting from 3-point range. He was the 10th player in program history to be honored as Freshman of the Year. The 19-year-old debuted with the Wizards in the NBA Summer League, averaging 19.5 points, three rebounds, 1.5 assists and one steal on 45.5% shooting from 3-point range in two appearances. He finished with 21 points on July 13. Johnson impressed the Wizards throughout the predraft process with his ability on the court, competitiveness and character. He is eager to get to work with the team, and will do so with a new jersey number. Note: Throughout August, Rookie Wire is looking at every first-round pick and why each player selected their respective jersey number as they make the jump to the NBA.
