Roman Anthony was drafted 79th overall in 2022 but given a signing bonus commensurate with a late- first -round slot.

The 21-year-old is MLB ’s No. 1 prospect because his offensive ceiling is stratospheric.

Last week , Anthony launched a 497-foot grand slam, the longest home run in pro baseball this year .

The Red Sox entered the season with all three outfield positions spoken for.

An oblique issue for Wilyer Abreu was the catalyst for Anthony 's promotion.

The immediate future for Boston ’s much maligned defensive alignment remains murky and complicated.

But with Anthony in the fold, the long-run dreaming begins to feel more tangible.
