The 2023 MLB Draft is underway, and the Boston Red Sox have certainly made noise. With the 14th overall pick, Boston selected catcher Kyle Teel from the University of Virginia. Teel wasn't expected to fall to 14 and was the consensus No. 1 overall catching prospect in the draft class. After consistently loading up on middle infield talent early in previous years, the Red Sox pivoted to a true athlete who could be the catcher of the future.

Gabby also discusses Masataka Yoshida, who continues to swing a very strong bat for the Red Sox. She explains why he was snubbed from the 2023 All Star game and sees his true value after he hit the go-ahead home run on Sunday in the Boston Red Sox's three-game sweep over the Oakland Athletics.

Gabby also analyzes the current catching situation for the Red Sox and what it means going forward. Boston recently designated catcher Caleb Hamilton for assignment and signed catcher Jorge Alfaro to a Major League deal, all in Reese McGuire's absence. After being DFA'd by the Colorado Rockies at the beginning of July, can he help solve the catching problem the Red Sox currently have?
