Roman Anthony, a key player for the Boston Red Sox, may be significantly affected by a potential MLB lockout expected to begin in December. The lockout will halt all communication between teams and players, complicating the Red Sox's ability to work with Anthony on his health plan for the 2027 season. As he is anticipated to only require rest rather than surgery, the team has under two months to coordinate with him before the lockout potentially disrupts their plans. With Anthony being a vital part of the franchise's future, the looming uncertainty of the lockout adds pressure.

- •Red Sox may have trouble executing plans for Anthony's health management.
- •Anthony not expected to require surgery but needs rest.
- •Red Sox's communication with Anthony will cease during the lockout.
