The Boston Red Sox have been scuffling since the All-Star break and have lost their last four games, including Sunday's series finale to the Houston Astros 10-2.
While things might not seem so promising for the 2024 Red Sox at the moment, the future is bright, and fans of the team got some good news about that future on Sunday.
According to The Boston Globe's Alex Speier, Boston's top three prospects - Marcelo Mayers, Roman Anthony and Kyle Teel - have all been promoted to Triple-A Worcester.
Mayer, 21, has hit .307 with an .850 OPS, eight home runs and 13 stolen bases in 77 games. He's the team's No. 2 prospect on Sox Prospects.
Anthony, 20, has hit .266 with an .841 OPS, 14 home runs and 16 stolen bases in 83 appearances. He's considered Boston's top prospect.
Teel, 22, has hit .294 with an .843 OPS and 11 home runs in 83 games. Sox Prospects has him listed as the team's No. 3 prospect.
Boston's "Big 3" is now just one step from the majors, and it's only a matter of time before they make their debut for the big league club.
