From 'Play Tessie' (subscribe here): Pat proposes a "Who Says No" trade to Gordo and Sammy that includes a name frequently floated in Kutter Crawford heading to St. Louis, but not for who you'd think. Do the Cardinals and Red Sox agree to ship out Crawford to fill a hole in their catching depth with Ivan Herrera? With Connor Wong as the only experienced catcher on the roster, Herrera helps with the defensive liabilities Wong provides, but Wong may have to be included to make the deal happen. Also, Herrera's bat could make him valuable to the Sox in this kind of trade.

From 'Play Tessie' (subscribe here): Gordo, Sammy, and Pat once again focus on Alex Bregman and a surprise team with a last-minute push to sign Alex Bregman if its on a shorter term contract. Could the Cubs swoop in and snatch Bregman away from the Red Sox while they play the long game of chicken? Also, Chicago is hoping to sign Bregman to a shorter-term deal that includes opt-outs which sounds like something the Sox wanna do if they can. And, Roman Anthony is among the prospects the Sox may start having extension talks with and the guys agree it should be a no-brainer to lock up baseball's top prospect despite no major league experience.

From 'Play Tessie' (subscribe here): Gordo, Sammy, and Pat give their reactions from attending Fenway Fest and if the event met or exceeded their expectations. What should we make of the comments by Alex Cora and Sam Kennedy about the future including the now pressing need to give Garrett Crochet an extension before the season? Also, Triston Casas looked to be the star of Fenway Fest which drives home the point of why the Sox should want to hold onto the first baseman rather than trading him. And, Jarren Duran looks to be heading towards arbitration with the Sox which doesn't sound like a good idea for both sides.

From 'Play Tessie' (subscribe here): Sammy has a "Who Says No" proposal for Gordo and Pat that beefs up the back end of the Red Sox bullpen with a young established closer. Do the Athletics agree to send Mason Miller to the Sox and do the Sox part with Wilyer Abreu and two rotational pitchers? The response from the guys is a first and might not happen again. Also, the A's have had a specific need during this free agency that Sammy says fits perfectly with what the Sox offer despite it being a potential overpay. And, does Gordo break his idea of not giving long term deals to relievers with Miller?

From 'Baseball Isn't Boring' (subscribe here): Just after Liam Hendriks continued his throwing program in 20 degree weather out on the Fenway Park field, he met with Bradfo and others to offer an update on where he is at physically heading into 2025 spring training. Hendriks, who missed all of 2024, explained that he is ready to compete for the team's closer's role and feels significantly more prepared to contribute than he did when trying to come back in August of last season. There is also some good Netflix talk.

From 'Play Tessie' (subscribe here): Gordo, Sammy, and Pat get into a busy day of Red Sox news including what the Cardinals are calling the last stand for Nolan Arenado. Why this move makes sense for the Sox if not for one current player clogging up the flexibility to make these kinds of moves. Then, Triston Casas' name continues to be the hot topic of trade rumors, but only one player makes it make sense and that would be Gordo's favorite player Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Speaking of, should fans get excited about Bob Nightengale's report about Vlad potentially destined to sign with Boston? And, a listener sends in their own Who Says No proposal that is a good idea, but not for the right people.
