Brian opens with the news that the Red Sox and Roman Anthony have agreed to a major contract extension that will keep the rookie in Boston for years to come, and he examines other similar moves that Craig Breslow and the front office have made in recent years (0:20). Then, he chats with the Boston Herald’s Andrew Callahan about the Patriots-Commanders joint practices, DeMario Douglas’s strong camp, whether the offensive line will improve this season, TreVeyon Henderson’s explosiveness, and whether the defense can be a top-10 unit in the NFL (22:50). Brian and Jamie end with an email about some pitchers that the Sox let get away in recent years (1:09:20).
