Craig Breslow Shuts Down 'Nonsense' Red Sox Love Triangle Rumor

Boston Red Sox executive Craig Breslow spoke out against unfounded rumors about outfielder Roman Anthony and former infielder Marcelo Mayer. During an interview on WEEI's The Greg Hill Show, Breslow dismissed these "nonsense" stories, stating there were no issues between the two off the field. The Red Sox chief baseball officer expressed his frustration with the ongoing speculation, confirming that both players are talented and committed to their careers.

The rumors claimed Mayer and Anthony were involved in a dispute over a girl, resulting in Mayer's trade to the San Francisco Giants on Monday. However, Breslow clarified that these claims were completely untrue, emphasizing that the trade was simply a strategic move to strengthen the bullpen. Anthony and Mayer, who had been close since their early days in the Red Sox organization, have since been separated, with Anthony currently on the injured list and Mayer traded to San Francisco.

The Red Sox hope these unfounded rumors are now behind them, as both players remain dedicated to the team and their respective sports.
