00:00If you're the Red Sox, you're John Henry and you're Tom Warner

00:02and you're Craig Breslow and you want people to believe

00:05in the direction of the franchise, I mean, who's more popular

00:08and who's a better player to sign than Roman Anthony?

00:10I mean, you couldn't get more goodwill.

00:12Yeah, and you already signed Crochet, right?

00:14Crochet would have been one of those guys, too,

00:16if he hadn't done that prior to the season.

00:18Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's true.

00:18If Crochet wasn't under contract, definitely.

00:20I'll tell you, Breslow, he's a mystery wrapped up in an enigma.

00:23The guy can get an extension done.

00:25He cannot get a trade done at the deadline worth a damn,

00:28but he can certainly help you there.

00:30So they could have acquired a second starter and signed Roman Anthony,

00:34but no, this shouldn't take away from it.

00:36And also, even with the late start to the season,

00:39because of the team not calling him up,

00:41Roman Anthony, we were looking this up before,

00:43he's currently second best odds in the Rookie of the Year.

00:47Now, the favorite is running away with it,

00:49but even with the late start, he is having that type of a rookie season.

00:55And he's been very much at the center of this sort of a surgence

00:59from maybe being in the playoffs to the clear-cut number one wildcard team

01:04and potentially chasing down the Blue Jays for the division.

01:09And hopefully his back is fine, right?

01:11Like, that was another thing we were talking about,

01:13is he's missed two games in a row with a back injury.

01:15He was fielding grounders yesterday.

01:17Lineup for tonight won't be out until, what, three or four?

01:20Lineup isn't out.

01:21Lineup is not out, is not out.

01:23But no, this is a seven-game winning streak

01:26combined with a Roman Anthony extension.

01:29A couple of great news for the Red Sox.
