About this episode
The Red Sox are playing well and just took a weekend series from the Royals, but Rafael Devers’ comments about playing first base have raised eyebrows and left the front office with some tough questions. Tom Caron and Alex Speier break down what went right on the field, why the win matters, and how the team’s depth is both a strength and a challenge. They discuss whether the Red Sox could have prepared Devers earlier for a position switch and how translation issues may have influenced the way his words were received. Plus, TC shares a classic story about David Ortiz’s own challenges in the past. Alex sits down with Brayan Bello for a powerful interview about his personal struggles off the field, including his emotional journey to reunite with his wife and child from the Dominican Republic. The conversation offers a behind-the-scenes look at what Bello endured, as seen in the Netflix documentary The Clubhouse: A Year with the Red Sox . Tom and Alex reflect on how Bello’s life stability could translate to improved performance and influence other players going through similar challenges. They also preview Garrett Crochet’s upcoming duel with Chris Sale and the return of Alex Verdugo to Fenway.
