Red Sox's Alex Cora Provides Non-Answer on Roman Anthony Situation
Red Sox's Alex Cora Provides Non-Answer on Roman Anthony Situation originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Boston Red Sox are taking their time in calling up top prospect Roman Anthony from the Minor Leagues. With the offense struggling and the Red Sox falling 4 games under .500, the Red Sox fandom has been calling for Anthony to get called up for some time. Advertisement However, the Red Sox are continuing to slow-play it. In a segment on WEEI Afternoons, Red Sox manager Alex Cora provided an update on Anthony's timeline to make the MLB roster. "Roman is doing well. He's getting better." Cora said. "As of now, this is the roster that we have and we are going to continue to maximize that. We are very proud of the work he's putting down there. And like I said last week, he's not knocking at the doors, he's kicking it. So, we'll see what happens in the future." Cora's lackluster answer on Anthony, repeating what he said previously, doesn't instill confidence in Anthony getting the call-up anytime soon. It's a similar message Cora sent a week ago, and there is no indication things will change in soon. Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora (13) in the dugout before the game against the Atlanta Braves at Truist Zanine-Imagn Images Anthony is tearing it up at the Triple-A level. He is batting .303 on the year through 195 at-bats. Anthony has 8 home runs, 23 RBI, and an impressive .922 OPS. Advertisement The 21-year-old out of Stoneman Douglas in Parkland, Florida, is close to making his MLB debut. However, the Red Sox's slow-playing his promotion to the big leagues has frustrated Red Sox fans and media members alike. With speculation that the Red Sox would have to move one of Jarren Duran or Wilyer Abreu to make room for Anthony, the wait might be even longer than anticipated. As the season is in dangerous territory of slipping away, the Red Sox's patience in calling up Anthony is frustrating. Cora's remark, which leaves Anthony's call-up status in question, is a further frustrating development for the Red Sox.

Mets' Francisco Lindor and Red Sox's Alex Cora Had Breakfast Together, Joked About Ejection
In the second game of the Boston Red Sox's series against the New York Mets, Red Sox starting pitcher Walker Buehler got ejected from the game after arguing a pitch was a strike despite the umpire ruling otherwise. Shortly after Buehler was ejected, Red Sox manager Alex Cora was also ejected. The two got ejected following a series of events, starting with Francisco Lindor getting hit by a pitch and Buehler believing Lindor leaned into it. Juan Soto came to the plate, and on the second pitch of the at-bat, Buehler threw a pitch right down the middle as Lindor was trying to steal second. Advertisement Home plate umpire Mike Estabrook ruled the pitch a ball, despite it being a strike. Buehler and Estabrook went after it, leading to the ejection of both Buehler and Cora. On WEEI Afternoons, Cora revealed that he and Lindor had breakfast the following morning, and laughed together amid the wild sequence that led to the ejection of Cora and Buehler. Cora said, "We had breakfast this morning, and I saw the clip of him [Lindor] going 'throw him out, throw him out,' and then they threw him [Buehler] out, but then Trevor [Story] told me that after Walker got thrown out, Lindor was doing the same thing with me like, 'throw Alex out, throw Alex out,'... Francisco didn't tell me that this morning, but it's all fun and games, man." Advertisement Lindor and Cora are friends with each other, and meeting for breakfast during the brief time they're in the same city isn't strange. But, the incident that happened the night before, with Cora getting thrown out, partially due to Lindor, drew laughs from the two during their breakfast. Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora (13) yells at home plate umpire Mike Estabrook (83) during the third inning against the New York Mets at Fenway Rutherford-Imagn Images The ejection of Cora and Buehler happened early in the game, but the Red Sox bullpen came in and went the remaining 6.2 innings without allowing a run. It was a clutch performance from the bullpen, right as the Red Sox needed it. Due to Lindor's actions at the plate, and on the base-paths, his friend in Cora got ejected. After the game, and the next morning, the two met up and joked with each other about the ejection of Buehler, and Cora's subsequent ejection right after. Advertisement The two friends will face off one more time before the Mets head out of Boston head back home to New York. With the Red Sox not scheduled to face the Mets again in 2025, Cora and Lindor got to hang out with one another for the last time this season.
