Roman Anthony reveals Alex Bregman's major impact on him from last Red Sox season

Roman Anthony praised former Boston Red Sox shortstop Alex Bregman on Tuesday. MLB Network Radio shared the clip on X.

"I can't even explain how much he helped me," Anthony said.

He also mentioned that Bregman was placed on IL in June due to a right quad strain, soon after he joined the Red Sox.

"So for me, he was like another hitting coach," Anthony said. "He was like another manager, in a sense. And that's just the kind of guy he is. The leader, the winner that he is. And he doesn't settle for anything short of greatness from everybody. And that's what he expects out of everybody, even from a young rookie like myself. But he helped me to such a high standard. Helped me out so much."

Anthony recalled having hitting days with Bregman and how he made game plans on iPads, breaking down pitchers and bullpen. Bregman taught him to read pitchers in big games, which has helped him in his career.

"And obviously we want nothing more than for him to be back with us," Anthony said. "But you know, we'll see what happens. But he definitely, you know, kind of instilled that routine into me and that preparation side of things that's, you know, sometimes more important than the physical side. So, yeah, I can't say enough about him."

The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal reported that the Blue Jays tried to contact Alex Bregman’s agent, Scott Boras, to lure him with a potential contract.

"Ideally, the Jays want to add a left-handed hitter, but either the right-handed Bregman or Bichette would fit their defensive alignment better than Tucker or Cody Bellinger, both of whom bat left," Rosenthal wrote on Saturday.

Rosenthal added that Bregman is determined to elevate those around him and inspire teammates both on and off the field.
