Roman Anthony made his major league debut with the Boston Red Sox on June 9, but his transition was quickly overshadowed by the stunning trade that sent Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants. In exchange, the Red Sox received two major-league pitchers, Jordan Hicks and Kyle Harrison, along with prospects James Tibbs III and Jose Bello. Devers, a leading figure in the Red Sox lineup, left a significant void that Anthony has acknowledged during his early struggles in the league. With a current batting average of just .111, the rookie looks to improve his performance while learning from the example set by Devers.
