Brian starts by discussing Rafael Devers’s introductory press conference in San Francisco, where he said he was willing to play wherever the Giants need him to play (0:45). Then, he chats with MassLive’s Chris Cotillo about the trade, who deserves the most blame for the way things devolved, Craig Breslow’s tenure, Fenway Sports Group’s plan for the Red Sox, and more (17:15). Brian takes some listener calls before he and Jamie wrap up with some final thoughts on the trade and how it will affect the Sox going forward (56:00).
