Kevin Plawecki was designated for assignment by the Red Sox on Friday. He joins the podcast to not only give his thoughts on the decision, but to recount his career in Boston as a whole. From being the personal catcher for Eovaldi and Wacha, to creating a rallying cry for the 2021 Red Sox with Dancing On My Own, Plawecki has been a pillar in the clubhouse for the last three years and his teammates made it well-known that his presence will be missed. We talk to him about his reaction to getting DFA’d, his teammates’ support, his favorite memories in Boston, and a whole lot more. The Red Sox also won a series against the Royals so we're giving out some ketchup to maybe the most deserving KKSMVP of the year. Jared and Tyler are talking rotation for next year, the pressure on Chaim Bloom over the offseason, Jared needing a 162 girl who hates going outside, and more. Enjoy!
