Anthony Seigler’s latest stop has him doing damage for the Boston Red Sox, and that alone makes for a pretty wild turn in a career that started with the New York Yankees.
The 5-foot-9 Seigler was a first-round pick in the 2018 MLB Draft out of Cartersville (Georgia) High School, going No. 23 overall. That was supposed to set up a future in pinstripes. Instead, he’s now finding his footing at the MLB level with the Yankees’ biggest rival.
And he’s making it count. Entering Tuesday’s action, Seigler was hitting .308 through 52 at bats in the 2026 MLB season, giving Fenway Park fans an early reason to take notice.
Getting here took a long time.
Seigler spent six years in the Yankees’ minor league system without ever reaching the majors. His contract window ran out, and he became a minor league free agent on Nov. 4, 2024.
Two weeks later, he landed with the Milwaukee Brewers.
That move finally got him to the big leagues in 2025, but the production wasn’t much to hang onto. He went 12-for-62, good for a .194 average, and didn’t do enough to lock down a long-term role there.
This offseason, the Brewers included Seigler in the Caleb Durbin trade, giving him yet another fresh start.
He took advantage of it in Worcester, batting .290 with an .844 OPS over 37 games for Triple-A Worcester to earn the call-up. Since arriving in Boston, he’s kept the bat hot.
It’s been a long and winding path, but Seigler is finally turning heads in a Red Sox uniform.

Red Sox Prospects Are Making The System Look Too Deep To Ignore
The latest weekly check-in across the Red Sox farm was the kind that makes a system feel deeper than a single headline name. From Worcester to Portland to Greenville, Boston had multiple prospects turning in productive stretches at the plate and on the mound, with Allan Castro, Mikey Romero, Franklin Arias and Antonio Anderson among the players giving the organization something to track at several levels at once.
What stands out is not just that the numbers were good, but that they were spread around. Castro brought power and run production, Romero drove in a pile of runs, Arias showed a mix of patience and pop, and Greenville kept getting steady offense from Anderson, while Blake Wehunt added a strong pitching line. For a player development staff, that kind of week does not answer every question, but it does make the next one harder to ignore. [Read more 🡒]
This Bizarre MLB Record Still Belongs To The 2005 Red Sox
The 2005 Red Sox have a strange little corner of MLB history all to themselves, and it has nothing to do with a pennant race or a dramatic October finish. Their season opened with an unusual run of games that never needed extra innings, a stretch that lasted long enough to become a league record and still stands as one of the quirkiest marks attached to that championship club.
It briefly looked like the Dodgers might put that number in danger this season, but their own streak finally ended in an 11-inning game against the Rockies. The common thread is part of what makes the record so odd: both clubs were defending World Series champions while piling up all those regulation games, a reminder that even on title teams, baseball can produce the kind of statistical oddity that lingers for years.

Former Red Sox Infielder Hits An Early Setback In Milwaukee
David Hamiltons return to Milwaukee hit an early snag this week, a reminder that roster churn can turn quickly for a player still trying to settle in with a new club. The Brewers are already adjusting around him, with Greg Jones back on the major league roster and Brandon Lockridge moved to the 60-day injured list to clear space on the 40-man.
For the Red Sox, Hamiltons latest step matters because his path to Milwaukee began in the six-player trade that sent him out of Boston, and he also happens to be a player the Brewers know well from before his time with the Sox. His latest setback leaves another small thread of that deal in motion, even if the bigger picture around the trade is still unfolding. [Read more 🡒]
