The Boston Red Sox have added Anthony Seigler, a 26-year-old utility player, to their 2026 roster. Seigler was a first-round draft pick for the New York Yankees in 2018 and spent the first five years of his professional career in their organization before being traded to the Milwaukee Brewers last season. He made his MLB debut in July 2025, starting 25 games at third base for the playoff-bound Brewers.
Why it matters
Seigler's versatility and potential make him an intriguing addition to the Red Sox roster, as the team looks to bolster its infield depth and find new contributors. As the second Navajo player to reach the majors, Seigler's story also represents an important milestone for diversity in baseball.
The details
Seigler, a left-handed hitter from Cartersville, Georgia, has played multiple positions in the minors, including catcher and second base. While his MLB debut numbers were modest (.194 batting average, 1 double in 62 at-bats), he performed much better at Triple-A in 2025, slashing .285/.414/.478 with 8 home runs and 39 RBIs. Seigler is known for his patience at the plate, with a minor league walk rate approaching 20%.
