When asked by Olney to describe what people love about Anthony, Cora revealed that New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone called him a couple of days ago and joked that Anthony is going to be "fun" to watch moving forward.
Cora also discussed Anthony's ability to stay calm, suggesting it might be his superpower. "He doesn't get too high; he doesn't get too low." Cora reference Anthony's calm and collected reaction to hitting a huge home run for Team USA in the recent World Baseball Classic semifinal against the Dominican Republic.
Boston will be looking for Anthony to bring his composure and All-World skills to the table in 2026 as the Red Sox seek a World Series title.
Limited to just 71 games last season due to being called up in June and then suffering an injury in September, Anthony has a full campaign ahead of him to continue forging his ever-growing reputation in the baseball world.
