In The Dugout Podcast

The Red Sox refuse to spend money and are passing on big name free agents. It's looking like they won't be competitive in 2024. There is a solution though and it's Bobby Dalbec! Give me Bob in the 4-hole! Anyways, we talk about how spineless ownership is with all their empty promises and cheap spending. We rant about the lack of direction or consistency with their moves, how they're wasting Devers...

We also read a bunch of listener predictions and react to...
