It’s been CHAOS in the streets this week with Xander Bogaerts rumors leaking left and right, so we got our pal Coley Mick on the pod to make heads or tails of it all. The front office has reportedly been texting NONSTOP, even during Thanksgiving dinner. Good to hear they didn’t shut their phones off during the heigh of free agency. Peter Gammons tweeted that Xander had “severed ties” with the Red Sox earlier this week which threw Twitter into an absolute frenzy. Thankfully many people know this not to be the case and we were able to get some level-headed confirmation that the Red Sox are still atop of the leaderboard among teams’ chances to sign Bogaerts. We’re taking a look at other free agent options for the Red Sox that could make sense in addition to Xander. Jared poses a question to Tyler asking him if he would still ride with Chaim Bloom if Xander signs elsewhere for a reasonable amount of money. Jared cooks up a Christian Yelich to Boston trade scenario and texts Yeli to get his thoughts. We call Chris Cotillo and he provides no value per usual. Coley and Jared also fight with Tyler about a player that they see as a superstar, but he does not. Thankfully, we kept this one under four hours for Pat Light. Enjoy!
