They did it again! The Boston Red Sox swung a deal on Wednesday, acquiring the left-handed ace of the Chicago White Sox. Jordan and Bayleigh give their initial reactions to this acquisition and the sort of domino effect it can have on the Red Sox's future and present.

Later, they talk a bit about other free agents they'd like the Red Sox to kick the tires on, and how important it is to get talent in the door and then figure out how to utilize it best later.

Jordan, Kate, and Jack react to the news that superstar outfielder Juan Soto is headed to the New York Mets on a record-setting 15-year deal, with an opt-out after the 2029 season.

After, the trio gives their quick thoughts on where the New York Yankees lineup stands and where the Boston Red Sox may pivot now that their pursuit of the free agent came up short.

Jordan and Matt are joined by Red Seat Radio host Corbin to talk about the latest offseason news. Red Sox have signed Aroldis Chapman, and what does that impact look like to the team, and is the bullpen done being upgraded. Soto might be picking a team this weekend, and the A’s have signed the largest contract in franchise history. Would a Golden At Bat rule be awful for the game? Join the trio as they talk all thing Red Sox offseason so far.

It was not a great holiday for Boston sports media literacy, as in between plates Red Sox fans went crazy trying to find out if Juan Soto had in fact agreed to a deal with the team.

Jordan, Jack and Jason recap on Black Friday to talk about that plus Blake Snell to the Dodgers, the idea of Rafael Devers moving to third base and then a random rant about the early-2020s Red Sox.

Jordan and Tim go player-by-player on the Hall of Fame ballot and give their yes or no reasoning for whether they'd vote for them to be inducted into Cooperstown.

After talking about each player, they circled back to talk about Boston Red Sox Hall of Famer Dustin Pedroia, who has an interesting case for induction but is widely believed to be a one-and-done omission.

Last, they quickly talk about some of the non-tendered players during this offseason's roster crunch, which saw the Red Sox waive Bailey Horn. They also featured some surprise NT's with Rockies second baseman Brendan Rodgers and Angels left-hander Patrick Sandoval.
