Roman Anthony avoids surgery as Red Sox assess offseason strategy

Summary

Boston Red Sox player Roman Anthony will not require surgery on his injured hand, indicating a focus on health heading into the 2027 season.

Willson Contreras, who led the team in power in 2026, recently expressed dissatisfaction but has reportedly had a constructive meeting with team executives about the upcoming season.
