Pitchers and catchers report to Fort Myers next week and the Boston Red Sox still have quite a few questions to answer.

With the roster starting to take shape, NESN's Lauren Willand examines a few storylines heading into the 2023 MLB season. Chris Sale's role with the team, the starting rotation and pitching as a whole is what Lauren takes a look at and gives her prediction for who the five starters will be in the rotation come Opening Day.

Lauren also looks into an article by The Boston Globe's Alex Speier regarding Ryan Brasier and what he's done to make adjustments since the end of the 2022 in order to hopefully carry over that momentum into the upcoming season.

Lauren ends the show with the mental health minute!
