Craig Breslow discussed top Red Sox prospects, MLB outlooks for Roman Anthony, Marcelo Mayer
Breslow said that Romany Anthony and Marcelo Mayer will "dictate their timelines" to get to the MLB level.
The Red Sox began the season with just one of the team’s three big-name prospects on the big league roster, but Boston’s Chief Baseball Officer is confident that the trio will play a big role over the long term.
Red Sox executive Craig Breslow, speaking in an MLB Network interview over the weekend, was asked about the current situation with Kristian Campbell, Marcelo Mayer, and Roman Anthony. The group represent one of the more hyped prospect classes that the Red Sox have had in many years.
“All three of them are incredibly talented young players who we’re excited about having in the organization, and all players have opportunities to develop,” Breslow explained.

Campbell, 22, is 6-for-14 (.429) in his first four games with the Red Sox. Both Mayer and Anthony were sent back to the team’s minor league affiliate at the Triple-A level to begin the season.
“The job for the organization is to balance the need for development with the need to go out to win games, and try to put them in the best environment we possibly can,” said Breslow.
“Obviously for spring training, for us that was Kristian on our big league team and continuing to develop in the big leagues, while Roman and Marcelo will get some additional time in the minor leagues,” he added.

Breslow kept his view on the bigger picture.
“I think these are three guys who are going to have a tremendous impact on our organization, not just in 2025 but beyond, and also for the two guys specifically who are still in the minor leagues, two players in Roman and Marcelo who are going to dictate their timelines.”
Boston is off to a slow start in meaningful 2025 games, going 1-3 in the first four-game series against the Rangers. The Red Sox start the team’s second series of the season against the Orioles on Monday afternoon.
“I think these are three guys who are going to have a tremendous impact on our organization not just in 2025, but beyond.”
