Red Sox pitching prospect AJ Politi was one of the most effective pitchers out of the bullpen in the Red Sox farm system this past season. Politi split time pitching in Worcester and Portland and also had the opportunity to be apart of Worcester's first-ever combined no-hitter.

Politi also takes you through his experience during the combined no-hitter and shared what advice Michael Wacha gave him after the game. Politi then tells a story about how a coach in Single-A helped him find his best pitch.

Lastly, AJ shares his favorite hobbies, favorite players growing up and much more!

Wednesday featured a slew of rumors regarding Xander Bogaerts, including that he severed ties with the Boston Red Sox.

NESN's Lauren Willand breaks down all the rumors that came from Wednesday from Bogaerts reportedly cutting ties with Boston to his agent, Scott Boras, debunking those to The Boston Globe, noting the All-Star shortstop has not shut the door on any team. Could this just be a negotiation tactic?

Later Lauren rants about why Sam Kennedy's comments about not saying whether the Red Sox would be able to match any external offers to Bogaerts are discouraging and not what fans want to hear.

Aside from Bogaerts talk, Lauren also looks at a report from MLB Network that stated Jose Abreu's number one choice was Boston, but instead chose the Houston Astros.

As always, the show ends with the mental health minute!

Throughout this offseason, the Red Sox have been linked to many of the top trade candidates on the market, but the real question is what would the Sox need to give up in order to complete a trade for a player like Bryan Reynolds or Sean Murphy? Locked On MLB Prospects host Lindsay Crosby joins Jake Ignaszewski to discuss potential trade packages for position players such as Bryan Reynolds and Sean Murphy as well as for pitchers Shane Bieber and Brandon Woodruff. Lindsay also goes into his thoughts on the current state of the Red Sox farm system and who in the system should be classified as "untouchable."

Lastly, Lindsay breaks down three players that weren't protected for the Rule 5 draft and gives his thoughts on why that was the case.

The Boston Red Sox desperately need help when it comes to pitching. Should they look into bringing back Nathan Eovaldi and/or Matt Strahm?

NESN's Lauren Willand and Massachusetts Pirates team insider Jake Ignaszewski look into the pros and cons of re-signing the pitchers. They go over their recent stats, what they've brought to the Red Sox and why it would (or wouldn't) make sense. Lauren and Jake also read answers from Twitter after they were asked that same question about Eovaldi and Strahm.

Red Sox pitchers Kutter Crawford and Josh Winckowski had very similar seasons in 2022. Both pitchers weren't ready for the big leagues and struggled when put in the starting rotation due to injuries. Massachusetts Pirates Team Insider Jake Ignaszewski and NESN's Lauren Campbell talk about Thanksgivings and even a little bit about the Patriots. They then look into both players' seasons and explain why they may have struggled because of the roles they were put in.

Since both pitchers' roles are questionable, they break down how the Red Sox could use them in the future.

Lastly, the Locked Red Sox mental health minuteeee!

The Boston Red Sox made a few depth moves this week, but it probably won't excite fans too much.

NESN's Lauren Willand takes a look at Joley Rodriguez, Hoy Park and Narcisco Crook, who the Red Sox all acquired either by way of free agency or trade this week. Lauren looks at how Rodriguez has a lot of potential upside and why his numbers don't tell the entire story.

Lauren also does a brief mental health minute to express her thanks for all of you!

The offseason rolls on and The Athletic’s Chad Jennings joins Jake and Lauren to talk all things Boston Red Sox.

Chad, who covers the Red Sox for The Athletic, discusses Xander Bogaerts and when he believes a deal will come for the shortstop and why Bogaerts just fits so well with the Red Sox. The three also dive into the closer role and how Chad believes the Red Sox will use their pitchers.

Later, Chad discusses why he thinks the Red Sox will not give up on Ryan Brasier and why it’s a low-risk, high-reward kind of deal to bring him back.

Chad also offers up who he believes the Red Sox should take a look at because of how he’ll fill some voids for the Red Sox in 2023.

The team has expressed interest in Corey Kluber for the third offseason in a row and the highly touted Japanese pitching star Kodai Senga. Garrett Whitlock has become rehabbing from his season-ending hip surgery and shares updates on his recovery. The Hall of Fame announced the 2023 ballot and four former Red Sox players are given their first year of eligibility.

Massachusetts Pirates Team Insider Jake Ignaszewski looks into why he believes the Red Sox reportedly are not interested in the "top-tier" pitching options and breaks down the interest the team has in starting pitcher Corey Kluber. Iggy then looks into the market of Kodai Senga and gives his reaction to the Sox contacting his representatives. With Garrett Whitlock recovering from his hip surgery, Iggy shares an update from Jen McCaffrey about how Whitlock is progressing in recovery and when he'll begin throwing again.

Lastly, Iggy looks into the four former Red Sox players that are going into their first season of Hall of Fame eligibility and gives his thoughts on who he believes will make it into the hall during 2023.

The MLB non-tender deadline has come and gone and Ryan Brasier remains a member of the Boston Red Sox.

NESN's Lauren Willand goes into the Red Sox not issuing contracts to Franchy Cordero (who came over in the Andrew Benintendi trade) and Yu Chang (who did not impress in his short time in Boston), while wondering why Ryan Brasier indeed was tendered a contract for the 2023 season.

Lauren also looks into a report from The Boston Globe about the Red Sox not even being interested in names like Justin Verlander, Jacob deGrom, Chris Bassitt and Carlos Rodon -- who would immediately upgrade the pitching.
