The Red Sox’ top prospect Marcelo Mayer is currently holding court with the Double-A Portland Sea Dogs this summer.
But the five-tool shortstop (and MLB.com’s No. 11 prospect in all of baseball) is reportedly going to have some company up in Maine over the final weeks of the regular season.
According to MassLive.com, the Red Sox promoted both 19-year-old outfielder Roman Anthony and 2023 first-round pick Kyle Teel to the Sea Dogs on Monday, with the two sluggers getting an early head-start on Double-A competition after crushing opponents down in High-A ball.
Even with just 12 games left on the Sea Dogs’ regular-season schedule, both Anthony and Teel had little left to prove with the Greenville Drive this summer.
