Weather issues led to canceled games throughout the minor league system, but it couldn’t stop MiLB Talk. Derrik, Jake, and Hunter return to discuss the games that WERE played. Roman Anthony is hitting the ball hard, he’s not a first baseman, though, so stop asking. Portland’s offense is cold, but the pitchers are dazzling (including Yordanny Monegro’s Double-A debut). Yophery Rodriguez makes his organizational debut, and Miguel Bleis returns in High-A. Juan Valera is still a cheat code, and Franklin Arias isn’t going to be in Salem long.

Jordan and Brian are joined by Bayleigh to talk about a disappointing series against the Chicago White Sox, that saw the Red Sox drop two of the three games.

Some positives: Garrett Crochet is a stopper, Trevor Story has life and Triston Casas gave a media-trained response following his defensive woes in Game 1 of the series.

Negatives: Everything else.

Hopefully the 8-9 Red Sox come out to play at Steinbrenner Field against the Tampa Bay Rays, who have stayed a thorn in Boston's side for years regardless of the talent disparity.

The good thing was the final game was a win and there were some good pitching performances that were squandered. Devers is heating up finally, and Casas and Rafaela are struggling. They group discussed switching up the lineup, and who has a short leash at this point. They also preview the White Sox series upcoming.               Make sure to follow us on Twitter, @ThePeskyReport.

Hunter Noll spoke with Red Sox prospects, pitcher Christopher Troye and infielder Mikey Romero, to discuss offseason goals, the young 2025 season and keeping tabs on old friends in Triple-A and beyond!

The two also dive into Mikey's arranged poker night, which may be delayed in a sequel, per Romero, because they keep taking his money. Also, is Blaze Jordan a secret poker demon?

MiLB Talk is back for a preview of the Greenville Drive and Salem Red Sox rosters. They start off the show with Worcester’s first two games, discussing the big games from Roman Anthony, Marcelo Mayer, and a handful of pitchers. The Greenville roster is exciting with a few big-time hitters and a ridiculous pitching staff. How will Salem give everyone playing time? Pablo Sandoval and Ben Cherington mentioned? They discuss it all and even give their picks for breakout players at each level.

Jordan, Brian and Jack recap the Boston Red Sox first series of the 2025, in which they lost three of four to the Texas Rangers. Each loss followed a similar script: Starter was OK, bullpen was good and no one but Wilyer Abreu or Kristian Campbell could do anything.

Regarding Campbell, the trio gushes about the rookie after his first MLB series that saw him hit his first career homer and nearly make the catch of the season.

Later, they talk about Rafael Devers' monumentally historic woes to start the season before finishing off with some dialogue about the torpedo bats that the New York Yankees made headlines by using in their opening series with the Milwaukee Brewers.
