FORT MYERS, Fla.\u00a0\u2014 A year ago, Marcelo Mayer was one of three happy-go-lucky rookies looking to make the Boston Red Sox, including Roman Anthony and Kristian Campbell. The future for the Red Sox version of the ‘Three Musketeers’ couldn\u2019t have looked brighter.<\/p>\n
Anthony and Mayer hung around together. Drove to JetBlue Park together. Even went to Nantucket during the MLB All-Star break together.<\/p>\n
