The Red Sox win their series against the Mets and may finally be turning a corner. While the team heats up, the focus shifts to Kristian Campbell’s development at first base. From his new glove to what this move could mean for Rafael Devers and the designated hitter spot, there’s a lot to unpack. Tom Caron sits down with Red Sox Chief Baseball Officer Craig Breslow to discuss Campbell’s transition, how position changes are evaluated, and how the team prioritizes work-life balance with moments like Alex Cora attending his daughter’s graduation.

Kristian Campbell joins the show to share what it’s like learning first base at the big-league level, how he handles the spotlight, and where his defensive journey begins. The conversation continues with Alex Speier’s one-on-one with Marcelo Mayer as he opens up about playing second base, his mindset in Worcester, and the dream of joining the Red Sox roster alongside Roman Anthony.

With the season one-third complete, it’s time to start asking bigger questions about the roster and what comes next for the organization. All of it comes together on this episode of 310 To Left presented by your New England Ford Dealers with Tom Caron and Alex Speier.
