We're back with a bittersweet episode of Name Redacted Pod as Pete has a major announcement to share with the listeners. After Pete shares his news, we dive into everything that's been stirring in the rumor mill since the last episode we dropped. We're continuing our Xander contract talk because he's our franchise shortstop in the second week of free agency and this is a Red Sox podcast. We're talking about if we're more or less confident in the Red Sox chances to sign him as the offseason progresses. We all agree that after signing Bogaerts and Devers, the Red Sox #1 need this offseason is starting pitching. We're looking at different free agent options that could strengthen the rotation, as well as other free agents the Red Sox have been linked to. Jared and Tyler get into it about Garrett Whitlock in the rotation vs the bullpen and it might be the first time Jared has been genuinely mad at Tyler. Enjoy!
