Not From Boston

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.

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.

Well, we have a fun holiday surprise for you, Not From Boston fans! Yesterday, we had a chance to sit down with the Athletic’s Jen McCaffrey, which also makes her our first returning guest!

We covered a lot of ground, talking about the potential lockout, Alex Bregman, Pete Alonso, Ketel Marte (?), who gets traded for a number 2 starter, and who will still be here on Opening Day in April.

It’s the first offseason episode! Bennett and Harry kick things off right with MassLive’s Red Sox reporter, and host of the Fenway Rundown podcast, Chris Cotillo. This trio of hosts sits down for a thorough conversation about the Red Sox’s offseason, the expectations, and which free agents the team will try (and likely fail) to get.

*This episode was recorded on Friday, October 3rd, 2025*

This week, the Boston Red Sox were eliminated by the New York Yankees, ending the 2025 season. Bennett and Harry share their immediate reactions, mourning the team’s defeat. They also look briefly to 2026, and what lessons they hope the Red Sox have learned from this. Also, the Yankees suck, and they will pay for this.

As for Not From Boston, Bennett and Harry will be taking a break from the podcast this offseason. There will not be weekly episodes until probably February/March of 2026. However, there will be a few episodes coming this winter, including:

* Any Red Sox free agency/trade news

* Any major MLB news

* Interviews with Red Sox media or organization personnel

Bennett will also be writing a series of articles about the offseason on the Not From Boston Substack, so be sure to keep an eye out for those.
