Within the hour-long podcast with Bradfo sitting down with Chaim Bloom, there were some pretty telling comments from the Red Sox Chief Baseball Officer. One of the exchanges that stood out was Bloom's explanation of how he currently views Xander Bogaerts, and the worth of everything the shortstop delivers off the field. Bloom gets into the narrative how if he does or doesn't value the ability to p...

It is the perfect time for Bradfo to sit down with the Red Sox Chief Baseball Officer to allow for some honest explanations to some very pointed topics. It starts with Chaim asking Bradfo a tough question, and continues for the next 40 minutes with the pair dissecting al...

Tommy Pham's Red Sox career might end up being just two months, but he has left a positive impression since coming over at the trade deadline. His play. His intensity. And his quotes about fantasy football. Bradfo offers his appreciation for the outfielder - along with fellow newcomer Reese McGuire - while also joining Joe Castiglione in a conversation with Pham.

He also talks to Nathan Eovaldi, who offers some pointed perspective on the move, along with Eric Hosmer, who explains the value of clubhouse leadership. It's the...

Bradfo catches up with Trevor Story to get the what's what when it comes to his right elbow. It is a body part that came under major scrutiny when the infielder signed with the Red Sox due to issues he had in 2021. But on the podcast, Story explains exactly what happened with his elbow, and where he is at now with the throwing arm. We don't just guess at the Bradfo Sho, we get real answers. Story...

Bradfo and Coop sit down with Red Sox relief pitcher Zack Kelly for a lengthy conversation on fights, pitching, hockey, dunking and life in the big leagues. But the most pointed part of the talk came at the end with Kelly - who spent the majority of the year in the minor leagues - offering a pointed opinion on why he is not a fan of the upcoming MLB rule changes. We use that salvo for another Brad...

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Zack Kelly came way from his podcast with Bradfo and Coop with a promise that they would deliver a 'Zack Kelly Fight Club' t-shirt, but only after Kelly documented every scrap he has ever been in while analyzing the memorable moments of Joe Kelly.

Bradfo, Coop and Courtney take on the topic that is on every baseball fan's mind these days: How do we get people to turn away from football and still relish our great game. The trio takes a deep dive into why football has such a stranglehold on America's sports attention span, while making case that baseball is a better in-person experience (in large part because the $25 margaritas). We also give...

Bradfo and Coop digest a very telling postgame interview Xander Bogaerts conducted with Will Flemming and Joe Castiglione after the Red Sox' most recent win. Bogaerts is very revealing in talking about how he is approaching these last weeks of the 2022 season. It should make anyone who listens clamor to keep the shortstop, more than ever. The guys also power rank the trash-talking in the Bradfo Sh...

Bradfo and Steve Perrault are joined by Red Sox coach Mike Brenly, who has a unique perspective on perhaps the most memorable first pitch in baseball history - when President George Bush stood on the Yankee Stadium mound just weeks after the 9/11 tragedy to toss the first pitch for the World Series tilt between the Yankees and Diamondbacks. Brenly was just 14 years old when finding himself in the...

Bradfo takes over the Red Sox Network Pregame Show once again, this time chopping it up with Will Flemming about the vibe around the clubhouse when it comes to the new rule changes and how many Italian restaurants he can go to with Joe Castiglione in one season. But most interesting was the interview conducted by Flemming with Red Sox pitching coach Dave Bush regarding the evolution of rookie pitc...

Boston Red Sox pitcher Matt Strahm is not happy with the Major League Baseball rule changes. That is very, very clear when listening to Strahm talk with Bradfo about the problem with MLB implementing the pitch clock and shifts. You aren't going to find more pointed comments from an active player, and it's all right here on the Sho. To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit:...

Mookie Betts continues to do Mookie Betts things, all the while wearing a Dodgers uniform and not one belonging to the Red Sox.

Bradfo and Coop turn to Blake Harris of the 'Inside the Ravine' podcast to te...

J.D. Martinez's time with the Red Sox might be coming to an end, which is why it was a good time for Bradfo to catch up with the Red Sox designated hitter to talk about what might be, what has been and what is. The two discuss J.D.'s unique plan going forward, while reflecting on what has been a sometimes-challenging 2022 season. Martinez also reflects on what happened at the trade deadline, and h...
