Craig Breslow redeemed himself from last year. He got uncomfortable, he was decisive, and he was aggressive. We grade his deadline performance on a pitch count.

Today's most notable haul was Orioles' catcher, 3x all-star Adley Rutschman. The Sox paid a hefty price that included Carlos Narvaez and top 100 prospect Anthony Eyanson back in the deal, but to quote Tom Caron, "I want parades, not prospects."

A few other interesting but acceptable moves occurred today that brought lefty reliever Erick Miller and outfielder Eli White to Boston. We also reference the recent performance of the team, sweeping the Dodgers so bad that they had to acquire Tarik Skubal.

Up next - ten incredibly exciting days of baseball transactions.

Craig Breslow has something to prove, having botched last year's trade deadline. He flipped it all around setting the market early. Obviously acquiring Mead was big, but we think the Sox have more in store.

This team, somehow, is a winning team again. The gang is contributing with the gloves, with the bats, who has it better than us? Also, a week of game time starting at 9:40pm EST, who has it worse than us?

The first big move of the Red Sox trade season, Connelly Early is traded to the Washington Nationals in exchange for infielder Curtis Mead.

Jack jumps on for a solo, instant reaction to the trade. It would have been awesome to keep Early but there is a lot of opportunity to wait and see if Curtis Mead can keep up his offensive breakout.

Lucky Number 13, and the Red Sox are on a tear.

An eventful two weeks and the boys are back in a wild card spot. Willson Contreras continues to show this team love, and Wilyer Abreu is starting to catch fire. After a 4-game sweep of the 1st place Rays maybe this team has a little more spark in them than we gave them credit for.

You've talked the fanbase into buying at the deadline. We polled some ideas from the Red Sox Twitter Hive Mind, helmed by the podcasters. We give you YOUR trade ideas. Jack gives you his.

The Red Sox are red hot. Nine wins going into the All Star break, even with injuries galore.

Sure, sweeping the Angels, White Sox, and Mets may not be a true test, but to stack nine wins in the win column will be huge for this team over the next month. And you've still got your horses coming back.

Our current rotation is Sonny Gray, Payton Tolle, Jake Bennett, and Patrick Sandoval. Even Bello is showing some signs of life. How blessed are we.

Can this team get back in it?

It has truly been an eventful week of Red Sox baseball. It always is, even though nothing seems to ever happen.

We weigh in on the Willson Contreras controversy and the state of the Red Sox team. We are in agreement that Willson Contreras probably wins the fight against the entirety of the Nationals, and would probably somehow still get a lesser suspension.

The Sox are playing the Angels. As much as we are winning, please remember, it is the Angels. Don't hope yet.

We have Greg Mroz of Bleav in White Sox join us tonight to preview the upcoming series in Chicago. There are a lot of former Red Sox on the White Sox, and they're doing so much better than us. Greg is a riot.

Yankees got swept by the 2026 Boston Red Sox. REPEAT. YANKEES GOT SWEPT BY THE 2026 BOSTON RED SOX.

We are so full from Yankee tears. <3

Some absolutely brilliant pitching performances from the kids and their dad, Sonny Gray. The pitching shut it down, the bats played hot. Total vibe shift.

Plus, find out how Payton Tolle got so big and strong!

Would you believe it has been 40 weeks in a row that the Red Sox have gone 2-4? You probably would, because it's true!

Team looks exactly the same as last week. You've got one hot hitter in Caleb Durbin, some strong pitching performances from the usual suspects, and losing the sweep again.

We ask if Breslow survives the deadline. We have mixed feelings. Though there are player on this team that once again technically get mustard. The rest of the mustard went to the Scottish army.

Bible verses pervaded MLB news this week. We talk about that, too.

Welcome back to our Red Sox podcast, for some reason.

Happy birthday Ian, who was in the city when the Knicks won it in 5.

We got swept by the Rays, would not recommend. Pretty embarrassing, actually. Pitching has been so spooky. As have the bats.

Craig Breslow's job is "safe". (No it's not).

Sam Kennedy thinks we're sellers at the deadline. (Don't trade Willy the Scott Contreras).

Come hang!

Brayan Bello needs to fall in love with baseball again. So do we, actually. Hard to be in love with this Red Sox team.

After a pummeling from the Orioles for some reason, and splitting the current series with the Yankees (until August), the Red Sox put together what could technically be called another week of baseball.

Jack and Ian discuss who should be the next GM of the Boston Red Sox. Hint, it's actually the podcasters.

Kahnle is up, La Sorsa is signed. Who's next, Mike Trout?
