Nick Pivetta has both started and relieved for the Boston Red Sox, and so far the latter is paying off a lot more. In the opening game of the series vs. the Oakland Athletics on Monday, Nicky P. threw six shutout innings in which he gave up no hits and broke the Red Sox franchise record for most strikeouts in a relief appearance with 13. Gabby applauds Pivetta for his performance and explains why he should stay put rather than being moved back into the starting rotation.

Trevor Story is on his way back! Alex Cora and the Boston Red Sox announced on Tuesday that the star shortstop will join an affiliate team THIS WEEKEND to begin his rehab start! Gabby reacts to the news and why he could make a huge difference for the team upon his return.

The trade deadline is quickly approaching and Chaim Bloom and the Red Sox have their sights set on adding a starting pitcher to help solidify the rotation and a right-handed reliever to work in the pen. Gabby shares some options of arms she'd like to see Boston pursue, including Blake Snell of the San Diego Padres and Jordan Montgomery of the St. Louis Cardinals.
