For the first time in a while, Gordo and Sammy react to a series loss from the Red Sox in San Diego against the Padres. Was this past weekend about what the Sox couldn't do or how good San Diego is? Also, there seems to be some great pitching depth that should be used whether its for Walker Buehler or a skipped start for Lucas Giolito. And, Alex Cora gave a rather odd answer for keeping in Giolito seemingly longer than he should while David Hamilton might need to go back to bunting basics.

Even though there was only one game between episodes, Gordo and Sammy got to recount to biggest headline of them all with Roman Anthony signing an extension. How happy should Red Sox fans be with the supposed future of the ballclub signing for an additional eight years of service? Also, this deal was signed well before Anthony hits the prime of his career which is something clearly John Henry and the front office learned. And, fans can stomach a loss after seven straight wins, but Dustin May didn't make the difference everyone was hoping in his Red Sox debut.

With the Sox now in the top Wild Card spot, should fans be expecting them to make the playoffs and even win the division? Also, reports of the price the Twins were asking for Joe Ryan should give some confidence that Garrett Crochet will have a reliable second starter behind him. And, Walker Buehler struggled once again and with the season winding down, time is ticking on his rotation spot if things don't turn around fast.

Safe to say Gordo, Sammy, and Pat aren't happy with the Red Sox action (or lack thereof) at the trade deadline. How frustrated are the guys with the Sox only grabbing a reliever in Steven Matz and a low-end starter in Dustin May? Also, even without big additions, the Sox are still a capable playoff team if the ball bounces the right way for them. And, Joe Ryan was the big fish the Sox couldn't get, but just like Garrett Crochet, the confidence in Ryan being traded to Boston might've actually increased.

Its Pat's turn to propose a Who Says No to Gordo and Sammy which solves the Red Sox need for another arm in the starting rotation. Would the Sox and Kansas City Royals agree to send Seth Lugo to Boston for a few prospects? Also, Lugo could be seen as a poison pill kind of player on an expiring deal and climbing up in age. Then, Mikey Romero is viewed as the biggest prospect in this deal, but Jhostynxon Garcia might need to be added and Kansas City would have to fall out of the race a little more.

Then, it was historically cold at Fenway Park and the lineup couldn't warm things which begs the question of the weather being an excuse for the bats being so quiet and Garrett Crochet not quite being his dominant self.

Continuing with our series of previewing the AL East, Gordo, Sammy, and Pat turn their attention to the Toronto Blue Jays in what seems to be a needle-tipping season up north.

Speaking of Vlad, there seems to be nothing Toronto can do to keep him around after this season which makes the guys reflect on how they've fumbled the whole situation. Also, in an unlikely way, Blue Jays' fans might have more sense in calling for a rebuild instead of the front office who keep trying to spend money and compete.

Gordo, Sammy, and Pat are ready for everyone to calm down about the situation involving Rafael Devers wanting to stay at third base. Triston Casas may have added fuel to the fire, but the guys don't have any issue with it since the clubhouse doesn't seem to either. Also, the bullpen continues to grow with veteran additions of Adam Ottavino and Matt Moore which is a great problem for the Red Sox to have approaching their first set of Spring Training games.

Also, with San Diego wanting to cut costs and improve the farm system, the Sox could have the leverage to potentially give up less.

Also, the best lineup and defensive alignment for the Sox that may have to factor in the mood of the young superstar. And, Dylan Cease was reportedly checked on by the Sox even though a trade is unlikely but that doesn't stop our guys from debating if getting Cease for Wilyer Abreu and Kutter Crawford is a good move.

Are Craig Breslow and Alex Cora on the same page with what sounded like different visions for what the structure of the roster should look like? Also, there's no clear cut answer as to who the closer in the bullpen will be and if Rafael Devers will indeed be the starting third baseman. And, Nolan Arenado seems to be the backup plan if the Sox can't sign Alex Bregman, but a potential deal might work out in their favor for both the short and long term.

Gordo, Sammy, and Pat share their thoughts after speaking with Red Sox Chief Baseball Officer Craig Breslow over the weekend and the vague answers he continues to give. Is there anything that can be asked by anyone that will allow Breslow to open up instead of throwing out his usual word salad? Then, Cardinals Live put out on social media that St. Louis has floated some Sox prospects including Blaze Jordan as trade pieces for Nolan Arenado, but not everyone believes this report to be real. And, the first standings projection sees the Red Sox finishing in last place in the AL East which our guys refute with the improvements they made this offseason.

Red Sox Chief Baseball Officer Craig Breslow joins Gordo, Sammy, and Rob Bradford on "Baseball Isn't Boring" on WEEI to discuss if there are any moves he expects to make in the bullpen and/or lineup before Opening Day, the idea of getting uncomfortable, and if he's comfortable heading into Spring Training with what he called an "incomplete" roster.

On the heels of reports about re-engagement in trade talks between the Red Sox and Cardinals about Nolan Arenado, Gordo offers a proposal to Sammy and Pat on a way to make the deal without sacrificing Triston Casas. Not only would the All Star make his way to Boston, but one of the top relievers in Ryan Helsley would be included that sends Ceddanne Rafaela and Zach Penrod back to St. Louis. Would the Sox be willing to give up early on Ceddanne to get two All Stars on their roster and what is the true ceiling and value for the projected center fielder? Also, Jarren Duran's strides in fielding could make Ceddanne more flexible in moves like this.

It was Truck Day this week which doesn't provide enthusiasm to Gordo, Sammy, and Pat like it did before and didn't feel any better with more Sam Kennedy comments. Should Red Sox fans continue to be angry with these words and could things actually work out for the Sox if a certain team that isn't them sign Alex Bregman? Then, Nolan Arenado is back on the table for a trade, but the dominoes and moving parts that go post-acquisition might be difficult to work with. And, Justin Turner may not be the sexy piece still left, but could be of benefit for the Sox if times really got tough.

Gordo joins the Christian Arcand Show on WEEI to talk about Sam Kennedy's comments at Truck Day, the Red Sox spending (or lack thereof), a potential Nolan Arenado fit, what to expect from Kristian Campbell, Roman Anthony, and Marcelo Mayer in 2025, and Poolside Joe's highly scrutinized trade proposal.

Gordo, Sammy, and Pat talk with producer Joe about his controversial "Who Says No" proposal from last episode and the crazy responses to the idea. Was that the first and last trade idea Joe gives? Then, the guys got a response saying they were being too negative on the Red Sox and the offseason they've had, but being honest might be the better way to put it. And, if Alex Bregman doesn't get signed by the Sox, the chances for Roman Anthony and Kristian Campbell being on the Opening Day roster go up which will change excitement rather than expectations.

Gordo and Sammy get a Who Says No trade proposal from producer Joe that fills the second base need with a former All Star who could be on the market. Would Boston give up a substantial deal to their in-division rival Toronto to make Bo Bichette their new second baseman? Also, the offer might be a big overpay for the Sox, but the perspective can be seen by the Blue Jays wanting to remain in contention despite obvious problems. And, with yet another deal where Wilyer Abreu is involved, a debate rages on about what is the true value for the Gold Glove winner.

Jan 29

Gordo and Sammy still Alex Bregman as a free agent and wonder why he still remains unsigned despite the offers that are available to him. Is Scott Boras playing his usual games or is there more to this story? Also, the guys still don't have a lot of faith that things will change and Bregman will sign with the Red Sox which makes this offseason's plan devalued from what was promised even if another bullpen arm is added. And, listeners send in their thoughts and questions including any supposed desire to hear John Henry speak to the media more.

Gordo and Pat are joined by the podfather and the host of the Baseball Isn't Boring podcast Rob Bradford to get more into the weeds about Alex Bregman. Is the ultimate solution to the Bregman sweepstakes a return to Houston and how much of a mistake are the Red Sox making or already have made? Also, Bradfo explains how perfect of a fit Bregman is for the entire Sox franchise both on and off the field. Then, there aren't a lot of options for the Sox if and when Bregman decides not to sign with Boston; what are those options? And, the bullpen and the guys' sleeping situation at Spring Training still needs to be addressed.

Gordo, Sammy, and Pat are all in their feelings after new reports about Alex Bregman surface including his old team Houston with a big offer still on the table. Are the Red Sox about to waste a golden opportunity and not do what the Astros are doing by listening to their fans? Also, the realistic options are very thin if the Sox lost out on Bregman with only so much time left before players report to Spring Training. And, grades for the offseason if things were to end and hint: they aren't good reflections of Craig Breslow and the front office.

On this bonus episode, Gordo, Sammy, and Pat chat with newest and returning Red Sox minor league pitcher Robert Stock about his baseball journey. How he went from pitching in Mexico and Japan to returning to the MLB for one more shot all thanks to fixing his sinker. Also, Stock pitched for the Sox back in 2020 and the guys want to know everything about what it was like day to day to play baseball during the pandemic. And, Stock explains pitch metrics and how he used it to fix his rotation and the movement on his pitches while also getting quizzed about his favorite movies.

On a quiet week for Red Sox news, Gordo, Sammy, and Pat hit on the hottest topic in baseball and that's the added moves made by the Los Angeles Dodgers. Is baseball now in a bad spot with the Dodgers adding Roki Sasaki and Tanner Scott to an already loaded roster? Also, the biggest debate rages on if the rest of the MLB can do what LA is currently doing by spending money like crazy to improve their roster. And, Anthony Santander joining the Blue Jays does two things for the Sox: not install any fear from Toronto and point the arrow closer towards Alex Bregman landing in Boston.

Pat proposes a "Who Says No" trade to Gordo and Sammy that includes a name frequently floated in Kutter Crawford heading to St. Louis, but not for who you'd think. Do the Cardinals and Red Sox agree to ship out Crawford to fill a hole in their catching depth with Ivan Herrera? With Connor Wong as the only experienced catcher on the roster, Herrera helps with the defensive liabilities Wong provides, but Wong may have to be included to make the deal happen. Also, Herrera's bat could make him valuable to the Sox in this kind of trade.

Gordo, Sammy, and Pat once again focus on Alex Bregman and a surprise team with a last-minute push to sign Alex Bregman if its on a shorter term contract. Could the Cubs swoop in and snatch Bregman away from the Red Sox while they play the long game of chicken? Also, Chicago is hoping to sign Bregman to a shorter-term deal that includes opt-outs which sounds like something the Sox wanna do if they can. And, Roman Anthony is among the prospects the Sox may start having extension talks with and the guys agree it should be a no-brainer to lock up baseball's top prospect despite no major league experience.

Gordo, Sammy, and Pat give their reactions from attending Fenway Fest and if the event met or exceeded their expectations. What should we make of the comments by Alex Cora and Sam Kennedy about the future including the now pressing need to give Garrett Crochet an extension before the season? Also, Triston Casas looked to be the star of Fenway Fest which drives home the point of why the Sox should want to hold onto the first baseman rather than trading him. And, Jarren Duran looks to be heading towards arbitration with the Sox which doesn't sound like a good idea for both sides.

Sammy has a "Who Says No" proposal for Gordo and Pat that beefs up the back end of the Red Sox bullpen with a young established closer. Do the Athletics agree to send Mason Miller to the Sox and do the Sox part with Wilyer Abreu and two rotational pitchers? The response from the guys is a first and might not happen again. Also, the A's have had a specific need during this free agency that Sammy says fits perfectly with what the Sox offer despite it being a potential overpay. And, does Gordo break his idea of not giving long term deals to relievers with Miller?

Gordo, Sammy, and Pat get into a busy day of Red Sox news including what the Cardinals are calling the last stand for Nolan Arenado. Why this move makes sense for the Sox if not for one current player clogging up the flexibility to make these kinds of moves. Then, Triston Casas' name continues to be the hot topic of trade rumors, but only one player makes it make sense and that would be Gordo's favorite player Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Speaking of, should fans get excited about Bob Nightengale's report about Vlad potentially destined to sign with Boston? And, a listener sends in their own Who Says No proposal that is a good idea, but not for the right people.

Gordo, Sammy, and Pat are joined by Mass Live's Red Sox insider Chris Cotillo fresh off the heels of his article detailing Nolan Arenado's preference to being traded to Boston.

Also, Chris gives explanations on why Triston Casas' name continues to be floated in trades and what it would take to move Masataka Yoshida.

Gordo, Sammy, and Pat are back together and all share in the frustration that Alex Bregman still hasn't had any conversation with the Red Sox about signing. Where is the confidence level that Bregman will sign with Boston and why this move is so obvious for the Sox to make? Then, Ceddanne Rafaela's position seems a little unknown, but still has the potential to be a better-version of a former ALCS MVP for the Red Sox. And, with Fenway Fest almost a week away, the prospects who will be attending get shared which forces our guys to read into it just a little.

Gordo proposes a simple "Who Says No" trade to Pat and producer Joe involving the Twins whose franchise is currently in a state of limbo. If Minnesota's owner chooses to sell the team, that could open the Red Sox up to acquire Carlos Correa and just give up Wilyer Abreu. Would Boston and Minnesota agree to a one-for-one deal or would the Twins ask for more? Also, Correa shows similarities to free agent Alex Bregman where both players fit the role the Sox are looking for. And, this move is imperative to Minnesota selling the franchise, but there's one buyer that would cancel out this move.

Gordo and Pat are back from the holidays to talk about why talks about Alex Bregman to the Red Sox have seemingly cooled down. Should there be panic about the Sox potentially missing out on landing the right-handed bat they need if Bregman isn't plan A? Also, why the time is now for the Sox to land a big name bat even if they have to settle for someone like Anthony Santander. And, if the Sox decide to roll out a 6 man starting rotation, the times it should be deployed and why every sign points to Alex Bregman signing with Boston.

Gordo and Sammy react to Pat's "Who Says No" proposal that goes within the division and the Sox finding their right-handed hitter with the Rays' Yandy Diaz. Would Boston and Tampa agree to send Diaz up north and which familiar bullpen arm would be included? Also, the guys question Diaz' fit as a position, but an additional move involving Masataka Yoshida could solve that problem. And, how much better would the Sox lineup against lefties do with Diaz in the mix?

Gordo, Sammy, and Pat get you in the holiday spirit by boasting about the latest Red Sox signing Patrick Sandoval. Why they push back on those critiquing a signing that could work out in the back half of this season and the full 2026 campaign? Also, the Alex Bregman talk ramps up with the Sox need for a right-handed bat, but the defense and where he'll play is the biggest question to discuss along with how Masataka Yoshida provides a roadblock for some of these moves. And, with the Twins potentially selling off their pieces for a team sale, the Sox should have eyes on Pablo Lopez as a bolster to the rotation.

In this bonus episode, Sammy proposes a Who Says No trade to Gordo and Pat which sees the Red Sox adding a flame thrower to their bullpen in the Twins' Jhoan Duran. Not only would the bullpen be addressed, but a package would have an old friend return to the backup catcher need the Sox have. Would Minnesota bring back Kutter Crawford for Duran and Christian Vazquez or could there be another Twins' arm that would draw more interest?

Gordo, Sammy, and Pat continue to chat through the lack of offseason activity and discuss which guys would be best served for the Red Sox to acquire.

Then, Corbin Burnes remains of interest, but could a long term contract to him derail a certain white whale for the Red Sox to fish for?

Then, looking at the massive haul Chicago got that included one of the Big 4 porospects and a guy who has yet to play in the Red Sox organization. Plus, this past trade deadline Crochet wanted an extension for teams that acquired him; now that reality is here. So what is Crochet's worth?

Then, in-fighting among Craig Breslow and Alex Cora might deter their big target Alex Bregman from not signing with the Sox.

Bradfo jumps aboard the Play Tessie Express for the first of his weekly rant on the Red Sox, with this week's involving the idea of moving on from closer Kenley Jansen.
