In this BIB vault, Bradfo catches up with Roman Anthony of the Red Sox to offer next-level insight into what life has been like and how he is handling his new world in the major leagues. It's the kind of conversation you simply aren't going to get on any other podcast.

It's a fact: Pitchers like Dodgers reliever Alex Vesia should be recognized more than they are. Not a starter. Not a closer. But just a pitcher who gets outs at important times in very important games. Vesia joined Bradfo to talk about his journey, his existence in the LA bullpen, and how winning a World Series changed a lot. The guys also discuss living life with The Godfather, Joe Kelly. It's gr...

Bradfo is back on the Radio with "Chris Thomas Tonight" on 92.9 The Game to discuss the Braves extremely disappointing season so far, the Braves brutally bad farm system, which players they could consider moving, and much more!

Bradfo and Julian McWilliams of CBS Sports are back together again, this time giving their instant reaction to the announcement of the All-Star teams for each league. As is the case every year, the rosters have led to some hot debate, with the guys diving head-first into the controversies. Spoiler: Julio Rodriguez's name might come up. Along with journalistic tips of the trade, underwear-packing s...

We bring back a conversation Bradfo had with Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins at the end of April, which may have very well launched Toronto toward their current existence as a first-place team. The Jays have gone 38-22 since the sit-down, which is why it is a perfect time to resurface the get-to-know-you session with Ross from just more than two months ago.

It's that time of year again, when teams are starting to define themselves as buyers and sellers heading into the last days of July. Bradfo and Gordo (Play Tessie) get together for another Baseball Isn't Boring Radio Show to discuss what is the reality when it comes to the Red Sox's deadline intentions, and what names we should be talking about.

Who is your favorite player on each MLB team? Adam Ottavino and Julian McWilliams join Bradfo to give their picks (with a surprise at the end).

Nick Martinez is back, this time sitting down with Bradfo to talk about a feat not many pitchers can stake a claim to - a start in which he carried a no-hitter into the ninth inning. The Reds starter takes us inside that game against the Padres, while also explaining what life has been like since becoming the only player to accept a qualifying offer this offseason. As always, Nick is insightful, e...

It is the day that makes us stop to remind us how great the national pastime. It is the heart of the baseball season. It is the Fourth of July. Courtney Finnicum joins Bradfo to reflect on why the holiday is so special for baseball fans, and how we should go about celebrating it. Courtney also offers another excellent ballpark view, this one involving Angel Stadium. There is also talk of margarita...

It's July, which means the topic of trades is going to be in the air throughout the world of Major League Baseball. We wanted to take the conversation to another level, with Bradfo catching up with Reds reliever Taylor Rogers, who has lived the life of being traded three different times in three different points in the calendar year. It's an education on what life is like for these players being d...

Mets President of Baseball Operations David Stearns met with the media to offer updates on some injured players, such as Sean Manaea, Jesse Winker, and Kodai Senga, while also discussing whether the recent play has impacted his view of the team and whether the Mets will consider calling up Nolan McLean or Brandon Sproat with the latest injuries to Paul Blackburn and Griffin Canning

Romy Gonzalez of the Red Sox has all but two of his team's pinch-hits this season, going 4-for-6. (The team is only 6-for-51.) So, how does he do it? The infielder talks with Bradfo about the art of pinch-hitting, with a surprising connection to the best that has ever done it.

The All-Star starters have been announced, and nine players are living that life for the first time. Perhaps the most intriguing is Ryan O'Hearn, who has been identified as the American League's starting DH just a few years after being designated for assignment by the Kansas City Royals. It's a great story, and it is great to hear O'Hearn's reaction to getting the honor.

It has been proven that the senses of Baseball Isn't Boring are keen, which is why you should listen to this podcast. It's the one where Bradfo sits down with Mike Napoli to talk about all the reasons the Reds coach would make a great manager. The guys talk about Napoli's journey with Terry Francona, what he has learned as a player and coach, and a great Dustin Pedroia story.

It's the kind of conve...

Bradfo is back on the radio, this time he makes an appearance with 'Jones & Keefe' on WEEI. The crew is discussing whether the Red Sox will step up their extension talks with Alex Bregman in the wake of the Devers trade, Chase Burns potential pitch tipping, Jordan Hicks debut, and much more!

Alex Bregman seems to be closing in on a return date after missing the last month because of an injured quad. The Red Sox third baseman sat down with reporters to offer an encouraging update on his health, while also weighing in on Scott Boras' claim that Bregman is open to signing an extension with the Sox.

Blue Jays starting pitcher Kevin Gausman is back, and this time he is using the podcast for a very important mission: finding a flamethrower his team can use for a postgame celebration. Gausman sits down with Bradfo to talk about the journey, along with what life is like being the original Paul Skenes, a star pitcher and top draft pick from LSU. We cap things off with Alex Bregman explaining where...

Any time you are the second overall pick in the MLB Draft and you then make it to the major leagues less than a year later, you're going to get attention. It's why resurfacing the sit-down conversation our own Bella Geskos had with Chase Burns is a no-brainer. It is an opportunity to get to know one of the hottest young pitching prospects in the game.

The Big 3 - Bradfo, Adam Ottavino, and Julian McWilliams - are back, and this time they get a chance to dive into the world of the MLB trade deadline. Why? Because July is just about upon us.

For the first time since being traded in the Rafael Devers deal, Jordan Hicks talked about being part of the package of players going from San Francisco to Boston and how he views the opportunity. Hicks also explained why he is excited to once again live life as a reliever.

Baseball has always had a fascination with matchups, whether it is a lefty pitcher against a lefty hitter or a righty hurler going up against a right-handed batter. But is it still a thing? Bradfo catches up with one of the best in the business in getting lefty hitters out, Yankees reliever Tim Hill, while also talking to a right-handed-hitting weapon, Angels outfielder Taylor Ward.
