Passan Predicts Monster 2026 Line for Red Sox Star Roman Anthony

Top MLB insider Jeff Passan projects Red Sox rookie Roman Anthony for a historic sophomore season with 31 home runs and 84 RBIs.

Passan envisions Anthony hitting .286 with a .538 slugging percentage, noting he already hit the ball harder than stars like Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani last year.

Manager Alex Cora confirmed Anthony will bat leadoff, aiming to leverage his speed and power. Despite a late-season oblique injury, Anthony signed an eight-year, $130 million extension, signaling Boston's high trust in his potential.
