Red Sox reportedly promote breakout prospect dubbed ‘Barry Bonds’ to Triple-A Worcester

The “Big Three” in Worcester is already turning into the “Big Four”.

Less than a week after the Red Sox called up their top prospects in Marcelo Mayer, Roman Anthony, and Kyle Teel to Triple-A Worcester, Boston is reportedly bringing up its top breakout prospect to join them at Polar Park.

According to Alex Speier of The Boston Globe, the Red Sox have promoted infielder/outfielder Kristian Campbell to Worcester — a fitting result after the 22-year-old slugger teed off against pitching in Double-A Portland.

“We call him Barry Bonds just because of how good of a hitter he is,” Anthony said of Campbell last week.
