Everyone's tired of the negativity so we're doing a strictly positive podcast! Xander Bogaerts is a San Diego Padre baby! The Red Sox introduced Yoshida, Kenley Jansen posted a sick hype video to Red Sox nation, and the Sox are reportedly ON FIRE in the trade market! After some positivity we get into the fact that Jeter Downs, a significant piece of the Mookie trade, was DFA'd today. We're exploring if the Mookie trade was really as much of a fleece as everyone thinks. Cotiyo also gets himself banned from the pod and blocked on everything by Jared. A Devers extension is apparently a "top priority" for Red Sox ownership and we're figuring out if that's good or bad news based on these type of comments in the recent past. Pete wants into Jerry's Scoop Shop and the committee is taking it under consideration. Next week will be our Name Redacted Christmas Special so we're throwing out our wish list of guests for the episode. Enjoy!
