As the year 2022 comes to an end, we do what most people do going into a new year and come up with our New Year's resolutions for the Boston Red Sox.

Jake Ignaszewski and NESN's Lauren Willand begin the episode by sharing their awkward exchanges with family members during the holiday weekend talking about the rough past month for the Red Sox and express their hope that the new year brings some good news. Hopefully these New Year's resolutions do the trick! They start out by addressing the questions of the middle infield and talk about the options that are still out on the market to fill in the second base/shortstop need. Then they go into the biggest topic of the offseason outside of Xander Bogaerts and stress the extension of Rafael Devers.

After letting off some steam talking about those two topics, they shift their focus to the need for another arm in the Red Sox rotation and talk about the possibility of the team resigning Nathan Eovaldi (this was before we saw the report of Eovaldi signing with Texas) and Michael Wacha. Then while they're finishing off the resolutions by stressing the need for a plan and direction for this team, they found out about Nathan Eovaldi signing with the Texas Rangers and give their instant reaction.
