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.

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.

Jordan and Bayleigh preview what hopes to be an action-packed offseason for the Boston Red Sox, who started by tendering the qualifying offer to right-hander Nick Pivetta. The team also chose not to extend the same offer to outfielder and team home run leader Tyler O'Neill.

Later, the duo talks about Gerrit Cole's decision to opt-out... but not really opt-out of the final four years of his deal with the New York Yankees before playing a little free-agency roulette.
