COOKED?: Are the Boston Red Sox FAILING Fans by Losing Pete Alonso? Craig Breslow Must ACT
Locked On Red Sox - Daily Podcast On The Boston Red SoxAbout this episode
Boston Red Sox fans are fuming as Craig Breslow misses out on Pete Alonso, who joins division rival Baltimore Orioles on a five-year, $155 million deal. Is the Red Sox front office too cautious, or is long-term planning costing them a real shot at the World Series? Gabby (Hurlbut) Maljanian unpacks the ripple effects of the Red Sox’s hesitancy, John Henry’s spending freeze, and what’s next for Breslow—potentially his last chance to deliver a contender. Key topics include the Orioles’ big splash, rival AL East teams stacking up, and how Boston’s reluctance to trade top prospects or overpay in free agency could keep them stuck in the division’s basement. The episode also examines Alex Bregman’s market, Masataka Yoshida’s role, and the urgent need for middle-of-the-order power. Will Boston make the bold moves fans crave, or is another forgettable season ahead? Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
