Their opening-day victory comes after solid spring training from the ball club. That said, one young Red Sox star who failed to make the opening day roster but had a strong overall performance is unhappy with the organization&#8217;s decision to send him back to the minors.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-1\">On Friday, Marcelo Mayer joined the Jones and Keffe Radio show, where he was asked whether he believed he had done enough to earn a big league spot.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yeah, obviously, like you said, all the stuff isn&#8217;t up to me. But as a player, based on my performance, I feel like I earned a spot on that team. With that being said, things just didn&#8217;t go my way, and now I&#8217;m here, and I&#8217;m just going to get after it every day and keep doing what I&#8217;m doing. &#8221;<\/p>\n<p><cite>Marcelo Mayer<\/cite><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Marcelo Mayer says that he feels like he earned a spot on the Red Sox and should be in the Majors. They didn\u2019t give him a timeline. <br \/> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/PGzEorBxjX\">pic.twitter.com\/PGzEorBxjX<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Boston Strong (@BostonStrong_34) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BostonStrong_34\/status\/1905667769644748862?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 28, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-4\">Marcelo Mayer Frustrated After Missing Red Sox Opening Day Roster<\/h2>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\">Mayer&#8217;s frustration with not making the opening day roster are complexly valid. The 22-year-old had a monster spring training, hitting .333\/.455\/.528. While that&#8217;s an impressive production, if Mayer made the opening day roster, he would be veteran Trevor Story&#8217;s backup.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\">Although having two players with the ability to produce from the plate at the same position isn&#8217;t necessarily a bad thing, Boston likely didn&#8217;t want a young prospect with the potential not to be a full-time starter. As a result, sending him to the minors was the best option as it allowed him to keep developing.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\">Nevertheless, many Red Sox fans would still like to see the 22-year-old take the field in the majors this year. Unfortunately, according to Mayer, there is no timetable for a call-up.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\">Regardless of there being no plans for a call-up right now, Red Sox fans will be begging for one at the first sight of Story struggling this season.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"inline-text-9\">More Boston Red Sox news and rumors:<\/h3>\n<figure><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Boston Red Sox opened the 2025 season with a 5-2 victory over the Texas Rangers on Thursday.
