Roman Anthony rose to the top of the MLB Pipeline prospect list Friday with the “graduation” of former No. 1 overall prospect Roki Sasaki of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Now, the question is how long will the soon-to-turn-21 Boston Red Sox prospect remain at the top of the list?

With widespread anticipation for the big league arrival of Roman Anthony, some have wondered whether the 20-year-old outfielder should see time at first base — a position where the Red Sox are thin — in order to open an additional pathway to the big leagues.

The Boston Red Sox will likely be at the center of trade rumors for the entire season as they look to make a World Series push.
