Welcome back! Dan and Bryan waste no time talking the upstart Sox as they face Mookie Betts, Kiké Hernández, Ryan Brasier and others in their return to Fenway Park, and how, with the emergence of Wilyer Abreu and the potentially imminent promotion of Ceddanne Rafaela, this series marks a neat narrative end to the Betts-inspired rebuild and the team of the future. Suffice to say, there's a lot to say about all that, along with everything else in baseball (not all of it good!) the boys missed last week. They also genuflect on the Yankees sweep and talk Crime and Punishment. Yes, the book.
