Hi Not From Boston fans. This episode is a bit long, but it is jam-packed with two guests making their return to the podcast.

First, you know him; he used to co-host this show! Harry’s back to watch the end of the Twins series with me. We talk about where the team is at and where we think they’re going, and neither of us is very optimistic.

Then, I talk to the creator and co-host of Talk Dodgers to Me, Melissa Myer, about her love of baseball, the Los Angeles Dodgers, and building a modern sports media brand.

HAPPY OPENING DAY, Not From Boston fans! It is the beginning of an amazing six-month window where my mental health will directly correlate with how good 26 guys are at playing baseball.

This week, I invited USC Annenberg student Adam Ucuzoglu to preview the 2026 season with me. Adam covers the USC Baseball team for Annenberg Radio Network, as well as for Annenberg Media’s baseball beat.

We have a lively conversation, make some bold predictions, and compare hot takes.

This week, I go on rants. We’re talking Red Sox dominating the World Baseball Classic, Cal Raleigh not dapping up Randy Arozarena, Mark DeRosa not paying attention, and Tarik Skubal being horny for money.

Not From Boston is back! There’s some housekeeping (when isn’t there), including a new schedule, new formats, and a new platform (Patreon).

This week, I walk you through my proposal for how MLB’s salary cap “issue” should be resolved using revenue sharing, and then, I talk to scout, analyst, and fellow Sox fan Harry Kaplan about how the 2026 Red Sox roster is shaping up.

The Red Sox, in a panic after botching the Alex Bregman situation, have pivoted to signing starting pitcher Ranger Suarez. Does that make their rotation one of the best in the sport? For sure. Does that change how we feel about the organization and how it runs things? It does not.

This is the one where we talk about how Alex Bregman is going to the Chicago Cubs, and how much of a mess the Red Sox organization is.

It’s our first episode of the new year! We get right to it, discussing the moves the Red Sox are and aren’t making, how the rest of the league is shaping up, and when, oh when, will Alex Bregman sign a contract?

If we had a nickel for every time the Red Sox and the Cardinals would make a trade this offseason, we’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that that’s happened twice.

Anyway, this week, we break down the Willson Contreras trade, what that means for the Sox, and what the heck is going to happen with Alex Bregman.

We got together on Friday to talk about the frustratingly uneventful Winter Meetings and what the Red Sox can still do to make this ballclub better.

This is an emergency podcast episode! Recording this episode was literally the first thing we each did this morning. The Red Sox have traded for starter Sonny Gray from the Cardinals.
