Play Tessie - A Red Sox Podcast

In a new mini-series, Gordo, Sammy, and Pat give a breakdown of each team in the AL East and how they compare to the Red Sox starting with the Baltimore Orioles. Did the O's regress by letting Corbin Burnes walk and not spending big like they seemed to insinuate under new ownership? Also, the Sox may have the better young talent, but the depth remains on Baltimore's side with Jackson Holliday at t...

Its been a slow week for Gordo, Sammy, and Pat and they're covering it all for Spring Training games that have more juice than in years past.

The first weekend of Spring Training games are in the book and while Gordo and Sammy are happy to see Alex Bregman and Garrett Crochet look good, they aren't going crazy like everyone else. What are the biggest things the guys are looking for during these games and what will be the most encouraging sign to see from players? Then, the Sox are already dealing with injuries to their starting pitching...

Gordo, Sammy, and Pat are ready for everyone to calm down about the situation involving Rafael Devers wanting to stay at third base. Triston Casas may have added fuel to the fire, but the guys don't have any issue with it since the clubhouse doesn't seem to either. Also, the bullpen continues to grow with veteran additions of Adam Ottavino and Matt Moore which is a great problem for the Red Sox to...

Its Pat's turn to pitch a Who Says No trade to Gordo and Sammy where the Red Sox add that last big time reliever the bullpen could need. Do the Red Sox and Padres agree to a deal that send Robert Suarez to Boston for two prospects and could this even be shifted to only one? Also, with San Diego wanting to cut costs and improve the farm system, the Sox could have the leverage to potentially give up...

Gordo, Sammy, and Pat detail a wild sequence of events from down in Fort Myers headlined by demonstrative comments from Rafael Devers about playing third base. How shocking was it to hear a usually quiet Devers speak so adamantly about being the Red Sox third baseman and is he right to be upset? Also, the best lineup and defensive alignment for the Sox that may have to factor in the mood of the yo...

Gordo, Sammy, and Pat celebrate the Sox landing a big name free agent for the first time in a long time and explain just how huge this move is. Also, reports had Bregman turning down bigger and longer offers from other teams which makes some think Boston is an appealing destination again. Then, N...

The Red Sox are slowly making their way down to Fort Myers and Gordo, Sammy, and Pat still have lots of questions that need to be answered. Are Craig Breslow and Alex Cora on the same page with what sounded like different visions for what the structure of the roster should look like? Also, there's no clear cut answer as to who the closer in the bullpen will be and if Rafael Devers will indeed be t...

Gordo, Sammy, and Pat share their thoughts after speaking with Red Sox Chief Baseball Officer Craig Breslow over the weekend and the vague answers he continues to give. Is there anything that can be asked by anyone that will allow Breslow to open up instead of throwing out his usual word salad?

Red Sox Chief Baseball Officer Craig Breslow joins Gordo, Sammy, and Rob Bradford on "Baseball Isn't Boring" on WEEI to discuss if there are any moves he expects to make in the bullpen and/or lineup before Opening Day, the idea of getting uncomfortable, and if he's comfortable heading into Spring Training with what he called an "incomplete" roster. To learn more about listener data and our privacy...

On the heels of reports about re-engagement in trade talks between the Red Sox and Cardinals about Nolan Arenado, Gordo offers a proposal to Sammy and Pat on a way to make the deal without sacrificing Triston Casas. Not only would the All Star make his way to Boston, but one of the top relievers in Ryan Helsley would be included that sends Ceddanne Rafaela and Zach Penrod back to St. Louis. Would...

It was Truck Day this week which doesn't provide enthusiasm to Gordo, Sammy, and Pat like it did before and didn't feel any better with more Sam Kennedy comments. Should Red Sox fans continue to be angry with these words and could things actually work out for the Sox if a certain team that isn't them sign Alex Bregman? Then, Nolan Arenado is back on the table for a trade, but the dominoes and movi...

Gordo, Sammy, and Pat talk with producer Joe about his controversial "Who Says No" proposal from last episode and the crazy responses to the idea. Was that the first and last trade idea Joe gives? Then, the guys got a response saying they were being too negative on the Red Sox and the offseason they've had, but being honest might be the better way to put it. And, if Alex Bregman doesn't get signed...

Gordo and Sammy get a Who Says No trade proposal from producer Joe that fills the second base need with a former All Star who could be on the market. Would Boston give up a substantial deal to their in-division rival Toronto to make Bo Bichette their new second baseman? Also, the offer might be a big overpay for the Sox, but the perspective can be seen by the Blue Jays wanting to remain in content...

Gordo and Sammy still Alex Bregman as a free agent and wonder why he still remains unsigned despite the offers that are available to him. Is Scott Boras playing his usual games or is there more to this story? Also, the guys still don't have a lot of faith that things will change and Bregman will sign with the Red Sox which makes this offseason's plan devalued from what was promised even if another...

Gordo and Pat are joined by the podfather and the host of the Baseball Isn't Boring podcast Rob Bradford to get more into the weeds about Alex Bregman. Is the ultimate solution to the Bregman sweepstakes a return to Houston and how much of a mistake are the Red Sox making or already have made? Also, Bradfo explains how perfect of a fit Bregman is for the entire Sox franchise both on and off the fi...

Gordo, Sammy, and Pat are all in their feelings after new reports about Alex Bregman surface including his old team Houston with a big offer still on the table. Are the Red Sox about to waste a golden opportunity and not do what the Astros are doing by listening to their fans? Also, the realistic options are very thin if the Sox lost out on Bregman with only so much time left before players report...

Pat proposes a "Who Says No" trade to Gordo and Sammy that includes a name frequently floated in Kutter Crawford heading to St. Louis, but not for who you'd think. Do the Cardinals and Red Sox agree to ship out Crawford to fill a hole in their catching depth with Ivan Herrera? With Connor Wong as the only experienced catcher on the roster, Herrera helps with the defensive liabilities Wong provides...

Gordo, Sammy, and Pat once again focus on Alex Bregman and a surprise team with a last-minute push to sign Alex Bregman if its on a shorter term contract. Could the Cubs swoop in and snatch Bregman away from the Red Sox while they play the long game of chicken? Also, Chicago is hoping to sign Bregman to a shorter-term deal that includes opt-outs which sounds like something the Sox wanna do if they...
