Trevor Story got surgery on his elbow earlier this week and will miss a significant chunk of the 2023 season if not all of it. We're talking about the Red Sox options at SS until he gets back and who they might target to fill in the gaps. The Red Sox called to check in on Carlos Correa which Jared hinted at on Twitter, which naturally led to people thinking it was a done deal that he was coming to Boston. We talk about why Red Sox fans are so divided amongst themselves which is not something that usually happens with this fanbase, and how the Mookie trade was the beginning of "The Fog." Jared poses a hypothetical about if you'd rather have sustained success with less championships, or major up and down years with more championships. Despite everything that has happened this offseason, the dark cloud that was hanging over the 2022 Red Sox season is gone, and we look at ways to be optimistic about 2023. Jared played guitar with Bronson Arroyo this week and tells a story of meeting Julián Tavárez at his concert. We also break down the news of Youk returning to the NESN booth and discuss other names we'd like to see featured on the broadcast throughout the year. Enjoy!
