Jake, Derrik, and Hunter are back for the official start of the MiLB Talk season. Andrew Parker of SoxProspects joins the show to discuss the Spring Breakout game and preview the Triple-A Worcester Red Sox 2026 season. Jake says his semi-goodbye (we’re going to make sure he joins as much as possible). We start with a rant on the MASN broadcast, before gushing over Anthony Eyanson. Andrew tells us all about his Spring Training adventures, and who stood out to him. Then we get into a nice long yap session.

Jordan, Jason, and Kate recap a tremendous World Baseball Classic, which saw Venezuela knock off the United States 3-2 in the Championship.

The trio talks about where the U.S. lacked in this tournament, despite being there in the end. They also talk about the upcoming Olympic Games, and how Team USA should be constructed going forward.

Later, they talked about the Colorado Rockies for a bit before returning to the upcoming Boston Red Sox season. The crew talks pitching staff, lineup and roster construction, as well as where they think the Red Sox will finish after 162 wraps up.

Jordan and Jack talk about their first impressions of the Boston Red Sox in spring training. However, it's tough to form strong opinions considering half the roster is in the World Baseball Classic.

However, who is standing out in a positive way? Negative? Is Jovani Moran going to be an inadvertent x-factor this season? How do we feel about there still being an outfielder surplus? What does that mean for Kristian Campbell?Make sure to follow us on Twitter and Instagram, @ThePeskyReport.

Jake and Hunter are joined by Boston Red Sox prospect and AFL All-Star Stanley Tucker. The duo ask Tucker about missing the 2025 season, his AFL All-Star run, and his goals for 2026. They find out where he wants to play, teammates he’s formed a bond with, and veterans who have helped him. Tucker talks about his journey to this point, from High School to professional ball and how things changed for him in that time. He gives us his pregame routine, family connections in sports, his time in the bat speed program, and more.

THE BOSTON RED SOX SIGNED A FREE AGENT!!!!

Craig Breslow's first move of free agency nets the Red Sox left-hander Ranger Suarez. The former Philadelphia Phillie has a 3.38 career ERA in 762 career innings of work. He's also one of the game's best postseason pitchers, posting a 1.48 ERA in 42.2 career playoff innings.

Jordan, Jason, and Jake give their initial reactions, as well as talk about what kind of trickle-down effect this may have on future moves. Are they going to go the blockbuster route for an infielder? Stick with what they have? Sign Bo Bichette?

The energy, as they say, has shifted.

Jordan, Bayleigh, and Hunter are here to rant about the Red Sox losing out on Alex Bregman. The Chicago Cubs swung in with a big offer and we have to deal with the fallout. How does everyone feel about the offseason? Where do the Red Sox pivot to now? Is Craig Breslow any different than Chaim Bloom? We reopen the can of worms that is the Rafael Devers trade again. The trades have been positive this offseason, but they’re confusing if they aren’t spending now. We get angry for an hour.
