310 To Left

We investigate the lingering free agent questions surrounding the Red Sox. With Alex Bregman still on the market, the guys discuss why he hasn’t yet found a home and what that might mean for the Sox. They reflect on last year's missed opportunity with Jordan Montgomery and ask whether the Sox will pull the trigger on Bregman, especially as they search for a right-handed bat to balance their lineup.

The crew also takes a closer look at potential trade talks, including the possibility of a Nolan Arenado trade. Would he fit with the Sox despite his declining numbers? Can his bat bounce back? And what does this mean for Rafael Devers, especially if Arenado were to join the team and push Devers to another position?

As the New Year begins, there’s also the issue of the Sox not being one of the seven teams invited to meet with rookie sensation Sasaki. What does it say about the Red Sox that they weren’t included?

Turning to pitching, the team explores the new additions of Walker Buehler, Lucas Giolito, and Patrick Sandoval, as well as the return of Garrett Whitlock. With Buehler coming off two Tommy John surgeries, is this a gamble that could pay off? 

The guys also discuss the bullpen, where the additions of Aroldis Chapman and Justin Wilson should make an impact, but is it enough to stabilize the relief corps? Can Whitlock's return make the difference?

As for the lineup, who will be the surprise player to make an impact this year? Could it be new faces like Roman Anthony, Buehler, or even Bregman if he’s signed? The team also gets excited for the changes in the offseason with Fenway Fest!

Tune in for all this and more as Tom Caron, Lou Merloni, and Julian McWilliams bring you the first episode of 310 to Left for 2025!

Plus, Tom Caron, Lou Merloni and The Boston Globe’s Julian McWilliams debate if the Red Sox should acquire Nolan Arenado or Alex Bregman.

We dive into the Red Sox exciting acquisition of left-handed pitcher Garrett Crochet from the White Sox. How good is Crochet, and what are the potential red flags? We discuss his bold claim of allegiance to Sox Nation, what his future might look like in Boston—including the possibility of an extension—and where he fits into the Sox’s rotation alongside last season’s newcomer Lucas Giolito.

With Corbin Burnes still unsigned and Max Fried heading to the Yankees, we ask: could the Red Sox swoop in and land a top starter? We look at potential free-agent targets like Walker Buehler, Jack Flaherty, and Sean Manaea, as well as possible trade candidates including Luis Castillo from Seattle and Jared Jones from Pittsburgh.

Could the Red Sox make a splash in the right-handed bat market? We weigh in on potential targets like Teoscar Hernandez, Alex Bregman, and Anthony Santander. And with Rafael Devers staying at third, would the Sox ever make a play for big names like Nolan Arenado?

The bullpen could also use some work, and we look at internal options like Garrett Whitlock, Justin Slaten, and Michael Fulmer. We also discuss how veterans like Aroldis Chapman, Liam Hendriks, and Justin Wilson will affect the Sox bullpen.
