"Earlier this afternoon, Tim Healey of the Boston Globe was the first to break the news that Roman Anthony will be joining Teams USA in the World Baseball Classic next month alongside former Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman, and current Red Sox teammate Garrett Whitlock."
"One of the sneaky worst things about the oblique injury ending his 2025 season early is that it didn't just take him out of their postseason run run last fall - It also robbed him of some valuable postseason experience, which he could have used to take into future Octobers."
"He's probably talking more about just getting to see how the best in the game go about their business everyday, which is another valuable piece to all of this, but I'm also excited for him to get real at bats in a high leverage, urgent, and chaotic baseball environment."
Roman Anthony will join Team USA for the World Baseball Classic next month alongside Alex Bregman and Garrett Whitlock, replacing Corbin Carroll after a hamate fracture. Anthony's last meaningful game was September 2 against Cleveland, when a strained oblique ended his season and cost him postseason experience. The World Baseball Classic offers high-leverage at-bats and exposure to elite players, providing developmental value and opportunities to observe how top professionals prepare and compete. The roster is stacked, and Anthony's participation gives Red Sox fans a chance to see a rising player perform on a global stage while regaining lost postseason experience.
