Roman Anthony is quite a player for the Red Sox. There's a reason he signed a contract worth at least $130 million two months into his Major League career.

Tonight, he faces the Yankees in the Bronx for the first time. Everyone's looking forward to seeing what he'll be able to offer baseball fans in the heart of the rivalry.

But if we ask his manager, Alex Cora, we shouldn't be surprised to see the youngster find success quickly in the New York jungle.

After all, speaking of his maturity and batting discipline, Cora mentioned that his young man couldn't be compared to Barry Bonds, but he could be compared to a guy like Juan Soto.

This isn't the first time the young man's maturity has made headlines. Club veterans say he looks like a 30-year-old in a guy's early 20s.

And now it's his batting discipline that's the talk of the town.

While many youngsters want to swing at everything, Anthony has never been afraid of taking base on balls. That was the case in practice, when he was fighting for a place in the Majors, and it still is.

The guy's consistent. And that's what it takes.

Speaking of tonight's game, Giancarlo Stanton will play defensively, but won't be in action in the outfield tomorrow. We still don't know when Aaron Judge will resume his defensive role.

It's still the talk of the town.

  • Season over for Austin Riley.

  • Paul Blackburn with the Yankees.
