Since 1901: A Boston Baseball Podcast

The Red Sox won their first series of the year against the Orioles and Adam Duvall went fucking BANANAS! He’s obviously our first unanimous Klark’s Ketchup MVP of the season and he couldn’t be more deserving. Today we’re breaking down Red Sox opening weekend game by game. We’re talking whether we’re concerned about Kluber and Sale’s rocky starts, the lineup catching fire, Ort’s gutsy performances,...

Opening Day is TOMORROW! We're getting you ready for the return of the Red Sox by finishing up our storylines for the lineup and the bullpen. Today we're going position by position and talking about the kind of production we're hoping to see from each player in the lineup, and we're also taking a look at each member of the bullpen and setting expectations for them this season. We also have the fir...

One week until Opening Day baby! Today we’re breaking down the biggest storylines heading into the beginning of the 2023 Red Sox regular season, specifically pertaining to the rotation and the manager.

He talks to us about how business has been since Business Pat killed Baseball Pat, how many business meetings he's had today and what kind of business took place during them, his rebrand from Baseball Pat to Business Pat back to Baseball Pat and how that's been for business,...

Things took a turn this week after Chris Cotillo attempted to cause widespread panic throughout the fanbase. We're giving him a call to ask him why he wrote an article saying the season is over due injuries. But first, Jon & Jason Anik join us to talk some Sox! The Anik brothers grew up in Boston as die-hard Sox fans and boy do they know ball. Jared, Jon, Jason, and Tyler talk everything from the...

Tyler has a show for the ages as he puts on an inspiring performance in audio/video production excellence. Any aspiring producer should listen to this episode to take your production skills to the next level. Red Sox spring training is here! Today we're getting a vibe check from Jared who's been down in Fort Myers for the last week watching the Red Sox kick off spring training games. We're talking...

You won't find a harder, juicer episode than this one. This week John Henry responded via email to a couple Boston media outlets. We're taking a deeper look at his responses and trying to decipher how he actually feels. Chris Cotillo joins the pod (and narrowly avoids a season-long suspension) to talk spring training, his report on veteran players having issues with Triston Casas' routines, and th...

Red Sox Spring Training is under way and we're bringing positive vibes on today's episode! Verdugo showed up in the best shape of his life, Kiké is starting to take a leadership role on the team, Chris Sale couldn't be more excited to compete, what is there to be unhappy about? We're so close to Red Sox baseball you can almost taste it. Jared and Tyler are reacting to all the soundbites that have...

Other topics include the highs and lows from his his 12-year tenure with the Red Sox, his feeling towards the organization after the decision...

Today we're recapping a very eventful Red Sox Winter Weekend with our pal Coley Mick. Jared shares his experience being the MC of the Red Sox Town Hall Meeting with John Henry, Chaim Bloom, Sam Kennedy and Alex Cora. We're taking voicemails from fans looking to voice their opinion on whether the Red Sox front office and ownership deserved to be booed as much as they were this weekend. Business Pat...

Today we’re saying goodbye to Pat Light. Pat has informed us that he will be taking a lesser role in the podcast and will only join us “from time to time” when it fits his schedule. So he will basically be playing the exact same role as last year and nothing is changing. Other topics include the signing of Adam Duvall, Winter Weekend activities, projecting the 2023 Red Sox lineup, and Yoshi’s cele...

Trevor Story got surgery on his elbow earlier this week and will miss a significant chunk of the 2023 season if not all of it. We're talking about the Red Sox options at SS until he gets back and who they might target to fill in the gaps. The Red Sox called to check in on Carlos Correa which Jared hinted at on Twitter, which naturally led to people thinking it was a done deal that he was coming to...

Today we’re reacting to the Red Sox signing Rafael Devers to a massive contract extension with our friend Coley.

Another integral member of the 18' Championship team is no longer with the Red Sox. Nate Eovaldi signed with the Rangers this week and we're saying our goodbyes. The Red Sox signed Corey Kluber in response and we're comparing what kind of production he can bring to this rotation vs Eovaldi. With JD and Eovaldi no longer on the team, we're looking back at the 2022 trade deadline and wondering why t...

Brock Holt joins the Name Redacted crew for the 2022 Christmas Special. This special has everything: Brock's thoughts on Xander leaving Boston, his experience as a member of the media, and shitting yourself during a marathon. Of course, it wouldn't be a Christmas Special if we didn't talk about Red Sox ownerships' handling of the offseason so far. In true holiday spirit we also say fuck you to mos...

Everyone's tired of the negativity so we're doing a strictly positive podcast! Xander Bogaerts is a San Diego Padre baby! The Red Sox introduced Yoshida, Kenley Jansen posted a sick hype video to Red Sox nation, and the Sox are reportedly ON FIRE in the trade market! After some positivity we get into the fact that Jeter Downs, a significant piece of the Mookie trade, was DFA'd today. We're explori...

It’s been CHAOS in the streets this week with Xander Bogaerts rumors leaking left and right, so we got our pal Coley Mick on the pod to make heads or tails of it all. The front office has reportedly been texting NONSTOP, even during Thanksgiving dinner. Good to hear they didn’t shut their phones off during the heigh of free agency. Peter Gammons tweeted that Xander had “severed ties” with the Red...

The Red Sox finally made a move this offseason and signed Joelyz Rodríguez. The Red Sox promised that they were going to spend this offseason and boy did they ever. Many people are saying this is the piece that will put them over the hump in the bullpen and make this club a championship caliber team. Jared tries to think of a Mets fan he can call to get the rundown on the Z man but he comes up sho...

We're back with a bittersweet episode of Name Redacted Pod as Pete has a major announcement to share with the listeners. After Pete shares his news, we dive into everything that's been stirring in the rumor mill since the last episode we dropped. We're continuing our Xander contract talk because he's our franchise shortstop in the second week of free agency and this is a Red Sox podcast. We're tal...

Free agency is here and Xander Bogaerts has officially opted out. In today's episode we're talking about the latest Xander reports/rumors and what we think the likelihood is that the Red Sox extend him at this point. We're also talking about how the Rafael Devers situation could be affected by what the Red Sox decide to do with Xander. We're diving into Red Sox ownership and their lack of presence...

We have the first ever Name Redacted episode with Jared and Pat! The boys dive into some questions from the listeners which include Pat’s net worth, how much money Pat makes per year, the amount of money in Pat’s bank account right now, Pat’s alcoholism, and more! We talk about the possibility of Jason Varitek one day becoming the manager of the Red Sox and why that is not a good idea. The Red Sox...

The Rafael Devers extension rumors have been running rampant over the past week. We got some people saying the Red Sox are making much bigger offers, some people saying the sides are still very far apart, and other's saying they threw Raffy a birthday party. We're breaking down all the Raffy rumors that came out this week and trying to figure out who we should believe. But FIRST, Pat Light has ret...

We’re back and the podcast starts with Tyler immediately getting boo’d out of the building. Absolutely NOTHING happened since the last time we dropped an episode so today we’re going to touch on a little bit of everything. We’re talking trauma, transportation, and turkey burgers baby. We had a false alarm Red Sox bomb from earlier that was never really a bomb and we’re putting that to rest. Dancin...
