The full edition of The Christian Arcand Show reacting to the trade deadline on Thursday, July 31st, 2025.

Even thought Craig Breslow and others said it would be an aggressive trade deadline, the Red Sox only have Steven Matz and Dustin May to show for their additions. How frustrating is it to see another lackluster deadline effort from an organization with a team fully ready to compete and win?

Then, another reminder to take everything the Sox front office says with a grain of salt.

And, Joe Ryan would've been great and was real for about a minute.

Hear from Chief Baseball Officer Craig Breslow on acquiring a reliever and a low-level starter and what Breslow couldn't acquire. Why was there a sense of defeat from Breslow for not fulfilling his promise?

Then, Pat Brown from "Play Tessie" joins the show and gives his reasons for why the Sox are not a playoff team after today's deadline.

And, Rob Bradford joins in studio and points out how a team in Tampa that was selling had a better deadline than the Sox.

Bradfo continues to speak with Arcand on another lack to pull the trigger for a team that has earned upgrades. Seeing prices for Merrill Kelly and other starters should make fans angrier they couldn't (or wouldn't) match it.

Then, a look around the rest of majors and figuring out if there were any teams that had a worse deadline than the Sox.

And, the pain of this trade deadline has to be in part of the expectations that were given from the Sox front office.

It'll have to be a short memory for the Red Sox and Alex Cora who may have been sending a message with his lineup construction pre-deadline. Is there a chance we see an angrier Cora than in year's prior?

Then, for the first time ever, The Dong Report features dongs that are a day old.

And, looking for more players who wore tonight's dong total.

Since there were only three games on the slate and after sharing some bad feelings about the Red Sox trade deadline, we give you day old dongs on The Dong Report

This makes four straight years of an underwhelming trade deadline for the Red Sox, but because Craig Breslow talked a big game, this deadline arguably feels the worst.

Arcand and Bradfo go through all the big buyers at today's trade deadline and pick every team that did better than the Red Sox (spoiler: its a lot of them).

Rob Bradford hops in studio to give his thoughts on a lackluster trade deadline for the Red Sox and point out that the Rays, who were mostly selling, had a better deadline.

Christian is joined by one of the fellas from the "Play Tessie" podcast Pat Brown to sulk some more about the lack of trade deadline moves for the Red Sox, his reaction to Craig Breslow's comments, and why he thinks the playoffs are now a far way's away.
